By Spencer . September 6, 2009 . 3:55pm

Speaking of Rocket Company, they dabbled in strategy RPGs before focusing on English training games for the DS. Ultra Garrison: Monster Attack is their contribution to the genre and it’s like Super Robot Taisen with Ultraman.

What We’re Missing With Mother 3

By Louise . November 10, 2008 . 2:35pm

Thanks to two years of fan-translation efforts I finally had a chance to play Mother 3.  After putting a handful of hours in, I’m amazed that no one at Nintendo wants to give the English-speaking world a chance to play this charming RPG.   Without giving too much of the story away, the game is [...]

On June 12 the Banpresto label of Namco Bandai has another game in the Super Robot Taisen series coming to the PSP.

Samurai Deeper Kyo, the GBA’s swan song?

By Spencer . February 21, 2008 . 7:44am

  Last year, I discovered an ESRB rating for Samurai Deeper Kyo, which was likely related to the anime series and a Game Boy Advance game published by Marvelous Interactive in Japan at the tail end of 2002. Without even an announcement from Destineer (the US publisher) the game slipped into stores in an unlikely [...]

Korea gets repackaged GBA games sold as a single PC release

By Spencer . January 22, 2008 . 9:59am

While the Nintendo DS is popular in Korea, the Game Boy Advance was never officially released there. However, the PC is king and there are plenty of available emulators available that can play GBA games. Perhaps, one publisher (pirate?) saw an opportunity here because a store in one of the electronics malls in Yongsan had [...]

The GBA lives inside car headrests

By Spencer . January 7, 2008 . 11:50am

Visteon modified their Game Boy Advance automobile entertainment console and crammed it into the back of a headrest. The screen looks crisp, but it is unfortunately it uses the same awkward triangle shaped controller, which looks like one a large tri-color highlighters. I guess it's nice to play GBA games on a larger screen, but [...]

Shin-Chan games now in Spanish

By Spencer . November 15, 2007 . 4:55am

Kitsune Sniper pointed out something (thanks!!) I was absolutely unaware of. Atari snapped up the rights for Shin-Chan and released two Game Boy Advance games in Europe. Most European games get a multi-language release, but not the Shin-Chan games. Atari only localized them in Spanish and I think I know why. Shin-Chan has a devoted [...]

Shin-Chan cashes out with a GBA to DS port

By Spencer . November 14, 2007 . 8:21am

Three years ago Banpresto released a Shin-Chan game ripe with movie parodies. Crayon Shin-Chan: Arashi wo Yobu Cinema Land no Daibouken is a basic platformer where you take Shin through an action bastard themed first stage and jump on enemies.
