I don't know if any of you remember, but back in the days of the SNES, someone like Nintendo made the 3D FX Chip which was put in certain cart so that they could handle proper 3D.

Examples:-
Starwing
Stunt Race FX

Does anyone know if there are any plans to make a chip like that for GBA carts? It'd be so cool to play Starwing or Stunt Race FX on the GBA because they were such great titles.

Thanks, I had an idea that Starwing has something to do with Lylat Wars.

3d games on the GBA? that would be cool, but I feel the graphics would be too hard to see properly.
I'm stillcontent with the recent games, the future can come and find me when i'm ready :)

There was a bike as a secret character, but mainly cars {4 in fact}.

The game I think your refering to is Dirt Trax. That was pretty much the same, but a motorcross type game.

Starwing is the prequel to Lylat Wars. As for Stunt Race wasn't that a biking game?

Did you know that DOOM used the 3Dfx chip on SNES so GBA must already have 3Dfx technology already in it cause DOOM is coming out on it
