So that's why there are officially only 4 games for the GBA's Japanese release which are:

Mario Advance
Kuru Kuru Kururin
F-Zero
Napoleon

That is correct

Also correct

Golden sun isn't a release gme for the GBA

Neither is Top Gear GT

Neither is Castlevania

>Wai Wai Racing (a Mario Kart clone), Tactics Ogre

Nor are these 2

But Napolean is.

True.

Mario Kart Advance is not a release title.

The GBA's UK price is expected to be around £80 and the games around £25.

Snake I think you should check your facts before posting your messages!

I've told you the release games so here are the other games that ARE in development for release soon after the GBA's release:

Castlevania
Wings
Top Gear GT
Waiwai racing
Mario Kart
Magical Vacation
Ouga Gaiden
Golden Sun
Pinobee
Mr Driller 2
Golf Master
Bomberman

These are all being made for the Japanese at the mo but we might see some changes to the UK releases.

Considering Sega have complete access to the Genesis back catalogue... I think we have a very high chance of seeing Golden Axe 1,2 and 3, perhaps even updated, on GBA.
