Anyone remember Starwing for the SNES, thats was 3D so if the SNES can do it why not the GBA. Just think in a years time you could be playing Lylat Wars Advance.
Maybe we can have a series of Star Fox Adventures games on both GC and GBA. I think there is alot more to come out of the GBA, there making Doom for it so why not Perfect Dark. Doom graphics on GBA can't be bad can it?

Some one (I *think* Bonus) explains Mode 7 very well to everyone a while back. Here's what I got:

On the GBA mode 7 is called mode 2. There are several different modes. All Mode 7 does is allow you to independantly rotate sprites independantly... what use that has for 3d games???

Now, as for 3D games on the GBA. Why? The screen is so small you could never have really great 3D worlds. Hence most developers will just use ray-tracing, or the system used on Mario cart whereby the whole game is 2d, but the mode 7 system is used to stretch the map so it looks like it is going into the distance.

If you look closely at doom you will find that doom and Wolfienstein 3d beta 7... Are the ones who started the productions of the 3d shoot em up games like goldeneye Turok 2 & 3 halflife quake 2 & 3 and many more...

They showed a demo of a first person 3D game on the GBA but I don't know if it will actually make it as a game.
