Well I was passing by a site about gba and I found these two articles^_^.

[quote]Press Release: Torus Takes 3-D Gaming to a new level on the Game Boy® Advance.
The team from Torus Games, responsible for producing the world's best First Person Shooter engine for Nintendo Game Boy® Advance, is now bending its amazing talents towards producing a world first - a fast, powerful 3-D engine for the handheld console.

Moto-X - The engine's first application:
Moto-X, a motocross racing game, is Torus' first application of the powerful engine, incorporating loads of motorcycle tricks, checkpoint racing, and free-roaming terrain. Over hills of snow, mud, dirt and rocks, the player races against computer and human opponents (via Game Boy Advance Game Link cable) in a variety of tournaments. With money earned from winning races and performing tricks, the player upgrades bikes and gear to improve performance and speed. Moto-X is a fast-paced racing challenge - without limits!

Potential applications:
-Vehicle racing: motorbikes, cars, monster trucks, dune buggies;
-Helicopter combat, flight simulation.
-Golf: rolling hills, sheer traps;
-Snowboarding, skiing, extreme sports.
-First Person Action or RPG Games set in outdoor environments.

Technical Information:
-Real-time, 3-D landscape rendering.
-An incredible frame rate of 20 frames per second!
-Vertical textures, perfect for detailed realism
-A completely free-roaming environment - go anywhere!
-Static light mapping, applied from imported light maps. 
-Multiplayer Mode, with simultaneous, linked play for up to 4 players.[/quote]

I though Ill post this one because it talks about the graphics of the gba.

[quote]As you might know, Hideo Kojima is the creator of the very popular series Metal Gear Solid. Now he's bringing a game to Nintendo's portable machine, Game Boy Advance. But the game has nothing to do with Metal Gear Solid, it's a sequal to a RPG serie that's only been released in Japan. The thing that makes this game different from every other game is that it will use solar power, the more light on your cartridge the more powerfull your character will be. It might be hard for GBA SP gamers to play this game since the cartridge turns down but then again, you could always place a mirror under the system. Even though it hasn't been announced that the game will be released further than Japan it's very likely that it will since Konami has been sending pics of it to various GBA sites.[/quote]

This one is my favorite of the two because it would be cool to use the sun to charge up your charackters:cool:.

I know these are games but both have to do with gba so I posted it here.

Wow, so they are finally adding a greatest hits series to the GBA. Isn't this the first time this has been done to a portable system? Also, it sort of stinks that I have all three of those games. I know the box's will have the big "Player's Choice" on it, but will the game cartridge look any different?

Hey, aren't you being a little too picky? I wouldn't care.

That's great news! I really want to buy Yoshi's Island, but I can't find it in stores! Hopefully they'll sell it again!

March 9, 2006 - Though it definitely seems like 2006 is the year of the DS at Nintendo, the Game Boy Advance won't be getting the shaftat least in its entirety. We've learned that Nintendo of America is readying its Player's Choice line of "greatest hits" games for a lower pricepoint on the GBA front, with three games ready to premiere the line next month.

Player's Choice is the moniker for hugely selling classics in the Nintendo library, reissued for a cheaper price. The line goes way back to the days of the Super NES, Game Boy classic, and Nintendo 64, and the company has continued it on the GameCube.

Starting April 2nd, the series will make its debut on the Game Boy Advance. Three games in the company's library will go Player's Choice on this day: Super Mario Advance: Super Mario Bros. 2, Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, and Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3. Each of these three games will be repackaged in a new Player's Choice box and priced at a MSRP of 19.99.

More titles will be announced to join this series. Stay tuned.

Thank god. It took them long enough. And they made some good choices, although they are too Mario-biased.

As far as we know right now, they're going to be separate.

So are these two games going to be on separate carts or put together like FF I & II?
