w00t! Rock & Roll Racing and Blackthorne are also coming! Kick ass! I never got a chance to play R&RR but it sounds pretty bad-ass. Blackthrone rocked tho. But the version I played was on the PC (via emulation), so I imagine it would be much more fun on a console.

The only thing I hope is that they remove the password system from some of these. Today's games can def. handle room for cartraige saving.

lol..

You know tho, they could probably do a WarCraft 1 for GBA. I believe the rez was small enough to accomodate most of it. Of course, control would be horrendous w/o a mouse ;)

YOSHAAAAAAAA!

We're getting some big nostalgic GBA releases! And if it's nostalgic, I love it! :)

All they need to do now is release Killer Instinct and Street Fighter Alpha 3... Wait, they ARE coming out with SFA3... my bad.

GBC got Warlocked, one of the most blatant ripoffs of WC I've ever seen

Rock 'n Roll Racing is a great game. However it may be more difficult being played in an even smaller resolution. And no, Warcraft the original runs in atleast 640x480 which is far too big for the GBA to handle.

Cool, Blackthorne, I remember that, it was sweet. I think SFA3 is out already.

I'm pretty certain it is, but the resolution of the GBA makes SFA3 look no where near the graphical wonder the arcade was.

Too bad SNK went under, I would have loved to see some KOF or Fatal Fury titles on their.

No, WarCraft 1 runs at 320x240.. I'm not entirely sure what GBA's is, I believe it's 320x200 tho..

WC I on GBA... hmm... well yah, that would be interesting, thats about it though, it would be hard and akward to control to :( so that would royally suck, but still the games a classic so it deserves it

Rock and Roll Racing is one of my favorite racing games!!! Now, we can enjoy some Black Sabbath on our GBA... Oh, it just gets better... *starts singing "Paranoid"*

Also luved RockenRallRacing ;)
I only play car games when you have weapons, like Death Track, Combat Cars and so on.


Ans yes like Warlock says, the pixels was really big in WC1 so its not 640x480.

Yeah, if you want something for a basis, StarCraft was 640x480. WarCraft 2 was I believe 640x480 (but it used SVGA, whereas WarCraft 1 was just VGA, that's prob. why it could support better resolutions).

Those titles still have a possibility of being on the GBA. It's just the matter of the current holders of the SNK line up getting off their asses and making one.:)
