The power of the GBA

I know its old but if the gba had the power to make RE2 why was it not made WHYYYYY.

RE2 video for the GBA

Wow, never seen that...

Darth Vader says, "Impressive". 

If the GBA is capable of those visuals - it makes me wonder what the DS is capable of.HeedleGlavin

Heck, it makes me wonder wat the SNES was capable of. 

no wonder is keep outselling the ps3wiistation360

Ouch.. I was kinda waitin for that :P 

Wow, that's not bad for the GBA... those very low rest for the backgrounds and stuff a bit, not too bad. However, with that said, I wanna see devs really try pushing the DS now...

low rez for the backgrounds!? i didn't even know the GBA could do 3-d! 

The second video is the only one that worked and it was ok. My guess is that the sales would be low so they skipped RE2 for the GBA.roulettethedog

My guess is that a GBA cartridge couldn't hold all of the pre-rendered backgrounds for the game.  The N64 cartridge could barely do it. 

MGS1 video for the gba

It doesn't matter since the GBA had this:

Best GBA game by far.

Yeah, THPS2 was a launch game for GBA and it was 3D. It's really more like "Starfox" style 3D but it still looks good. Metroid looks good on the DS but I doubt it's the limit.

Wow, the GBA had that horsepower? :o

it makes me wonder wat the SNES was capable of.

• Starfox (1993!!)
• SNES Doom

I think GBA could do RE2. Look at Golden Sun's visuals...awesome game. Not just because of the graphics btw. majadamus

Yeah, it was a nice combination of technical wizardry and a beautiful art style.

I'm sure that if Camelot had still been with SEGA, the game would've been a Shining "add title in here". Probably it even started as such.

that game reminds me to Doom 2 

Uh, looks crappy?

And that's just a one map render of MGS.  MGS is more than visuals, it's AI, fluidity, and music that makes it work so well.  GBA especially can't do the music.

That's why the world went optical disc. Nintendo was ten years behind.

You expect the GBA.... an 8 year old handheld to have optical discs.....wow

Geeez. Fanboy's really aren't trying hard anymore. 

GBA Japan Realse Date:  March 21, 2001.

PSP Japan Release Date: December 12, 2004

Nintendo DS Release Date:  November 21, 2004 

 My point? The fact that a handheld that came out in 2001 could handle graphics of those caliber is very impressive. And as for your "optical discs complaint". What the hell does the Wii use? Disc shaped cartridges? 

Damn, if the GBA could do that, I'm wondering what are the DS's graphical limits?glitchgeeman

Like the GBA i dont think we will see any Ds game use the Ds to its graphical limits and thats sad.

Because  Metroid Prime:hunters looks better then any thing on the n64 does not meen it is pushing the Ds to its  limits.

I bet there will be games for the Ds that will look better then  Metroid Prime.

Ouch.. I was kinda waitin for that :P

I have a ps3 and even I'll admit that was funny as ****.

Oh sorry.

I thought you were one of those people that say the system it at its limits and new games are not going to look any better.

but ya, Brothers in arms looks pretty good.
