Gunstar Heroes Goes GBA

Exclusive screens and details on Sega and Treasure's next big GBA title.
by Craig Harris

May 6, 2005 - Sega of America has officially announced the long-awaited follow-up to the company's popular Sega Genesis title Gunstar Heroes. Sega, along with the original development studio Treasure, have been working together on Gunstar Super Heroes, an original title and the official sequel set for release on the Game Boy Advance this fall.

Blue and Red, the two lead characters from Gunstar Heroes return for a second go-round in Gunstar Super Heroes. The duo will fight a seemingly endless onslaught of bad guys of an evil empire that's set to resurrect the God of Ruin. Both Red and Blue will have their own paths during this adventure, each character having his own set of challenges across six massive levels.
Gunstar Super Heroes is Treasure's latest GBA production since Sega's Astro Boy: Omega Factor, and Sega promises that the team will truly max out the graphical capabilities of the Game Boy Advance hardware. Treasure will pay homage to many of Sega's classic brands, with levels, graphics, and soundtracks based on After Burner, Thunder Blade, and Galaxy Force, and other Sega titles.

We've scored a batch of exclusive screenshots which you can check out by hitting the link below. The game will make its debut at the Electronic Entertainment Expo in just a week's time, and we'll have full hands-on impressions then.

i hope this sells well. as much as games like this have a nice cult following, i talk to "hardcore gamers" every day who have never heard of gunstar heroes, gurdian heroes, or river city ransome.

I *LOVE* Treasure! They make some of the most original whackiest games around. Shame they just don't do many games.

Aye, Treasure is a really nifty little company. I think this is much better than Black & White - PC version wasn't even much of a game (though the touchscreen control will make the controls quite intuitive).

Well, I would say that Black and White was an amazing concept that was crippled by being rushed out the door. Molyneux himself admitted that the "beast" AI was horribly broken. If they would have had a few more months to iron the kinks out, it would have been brilliant, in my opinion. One more reason to lament the dominance of EA. Hopefully by now they've fixed the bloody thing!

a remake of RCR and a sequal to gaurdian heroes are already available for the GBA, if you are interested. both games are great.
