Upcoming GBA Releases

Mr E

Just saw that IGN updated their GBA release list. Some fantastic titles out before the end of the year (and some brilliant ones out next year too). Remember that this is a US release list.

Some noticable ones (for me, anyway!) are:

September 15, 2003 Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge
September 16, 2003 Blackthorne
October 30, 2003 R-Type III: The Third Lighting
October 21, 2003 Super Mario Bros. 3: Super Mario Advance 4
November 3, 2003 Sword of Mana
November 4, 2003 Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time
November 11, 2003 Metal Slug Survival Mission
November 30, 2003 SimCity 2000
March 2004 Sabrewulf
TBA 2004 Bomb Jack World
TBA 2004 Darius R

I can't believe Speedball 2 hasn't been released in europe yet! I've been playing it for months.

I'm fairly sure that Speedball 2 is out in Europe - they look like US release dates. How is Speedball anyway? I've heard conflicting opinions on the conversion.

Of those games listed, I looking forward to Blackthorne most. It was crinimally overlooked on the SNES and one of the few games that could give Flashback a run for it's money.

Mr E

I agree.... Blackthorne was a total classic.

A new 2D zelda is usually something to look forward to too!

Boktai is some new game. The game pak has a sun light sensor built in to it and the amount of sun you expose the cart to while playing effects aspects of the game play

there is a quick reivew HERE

That sabrewulf game is gonna kick ass ww)

Mr. Fancypants

Rick Dangerous! Cool Looking forward to that.

Got my copy of Advance Wars 2 this week. Its really rather good.

R-Type III: The Third Lighting: Me wants!
Super Mario Bros. 3: Super Mario Advance 4: Me wants!
Sword of Mana: Me wants!
Darius R: Me wants!
Legend of Zelda G: Me wants!

Thats one hell of a line up. Unfortunately I'll have to start emptying my pockets for them. I'm really looking forward to all the Squaresoft stuff. You forgot to mention FF tactics which I'm most looking forward too.

I got advance wars 2 awhile ago. It's basically the same game as the first one but with more units and COs to spice it up. Still it's a must have game. Golden Sun Lost Age is brilliant as well. Lots of improvements over the original.

Mr E

Boktai looks interesting.... strange isometric angle, though....

It would be VERY sweet if Rick Dangerous was RD1+2.

I imagine the zelda game is a totally brand new one (hopefully 2D with 50 very challenging dungeons and loads of secrets. I can dream, can't I? )

Forgot about Boktai. It looks good and got a great review in famitsu. However it will probably be impossible to finish in Ireland until next Summer because of the lack of sun
