A Boy and His Blob
Heart of Darkness

Mega Man Battle network exe 2
Zone of the Enders Z.O.E

Yeah, good point matty.

It doesnt really matter how all these games turn out - At least the ambition is there and developers relise what they are dealing with!! The GBA is perhaps a lot more powerful than we all thought!!

How the hell are you supposed to play B&W on the GBA!?

New Jimmy, why do you use capitals for gameplay? It's not an important word or anything.

I forgot to mention that The Sims is also in development by Australian developers. I don't know the scale of the port. The PC Sims uses an incredible amount of calculations to create a random effect so it seems as if though the Sims are reacting to each other, to time and to what you build. Their AI programmers I would assume would have a tough time coding and it be too harsh on the GBA's cpu to make such AI as the PC version.

From the developers:

"It's cart size and CPU power. The machine requirements of The Sims isn't just bad coding or graphic glitching - it's running complex routines that it makes the mind boggle. So many variables!"

The Sims game might be such a simplified version it might not be much fun in my opinion.

B+W on the GBA, sounds like a good idea, it won't be the same size + I think most of the memory is used uo with 3d images, don't think the GBA can handle that.
+ Survivors quite underated, I watched it the other day, it's quite a harsh game, losts of annoying women though, but the same could be said about helen from Big brother and loads of people like that!

I think the GBA will have loads of good games out by the end of this year, especially re-designed titles like Mario Kart!

As long as the GamePlay is there Black and White will be a hit.

Z.O.E - If its even half as good as the PS2 version it should be a classic!!
Black and White - How they are going to fit it all into a GBA cartridge Im not sure but I hope it will be just as good!!

Sega smash hits, that sounds great.

Does that mean it will be like The MegaGames Pack on the MegaDrive. I remember one of the MegaGames packs had GoldenAxe, Streets of Rage and Shinobi on one cart. If the same is true of this then this cart will be a must have purchase for all GameBoyAdvance owners.

Hopefully Columns will also be released in a similar pack.

How are they going to fit B&W on the GBA? It's crazy when you think about it - like putting 5 3 hour films onto a N64 cartridge.
