- Affine texture mapping
- Camera animation
- Skeletal animation
- Skinned characters
- Linear key interpolation for smooth animation
- Morphing support
- Scalable engine for either internal rooms and wide open space
- LOD
- Hierarchial hidden polygons/object remover to reduce overdraw.

Actually, THPS2 did use a small ammount of 3D. The main character wasn't a sprite, but a 3D object. Would have been nice if everything else was 3D though. Figuring out the exact angles for some of the jumps was really tough from that fixed angle.

We know that cloral... THPS3 uses Texture mapped 3d models, but still has the prerendered backgrounds... this here engine would be able to make a full 3D THPS on the GBA.

It still looks too good to be true... we'll see though, but those pictures look too sharp for a GBA display, which is limited to 240x160( 80x80 fewer pixels than the standard 320x240 display of past console displays). I didn't watch the videos though, so maybe they do show more than the pics.

I really reccomend you not get too excited over this. It's nothing amazing. For the Gameboy's to get decent they atleast need to raise the resolution up to 320x240 which is equal to PSX, or even 256x224 would do, which is SNES/NES resolution. The current resolution is horrible for ports. SFA3 is one to mention that killed the graphical proportions.

Even if this isn't true, Nintendo did say at one point, something like "No, there isn't a built in 3D(Unit, Renderer, or something...), But I'm sure some crafty game developer will figure out a way to do it." Note that that's not an exact translation, but the gist of the message was that it IS possible. No mention of quality, but there is a possibility.
