Mario Pinball Land (GBA)!

[thop]

Is it just me or does the game look insanely good for a GBA game! I know, most of the stuff is prerendered but still. I can't wait.

There are tricks you could use to make it look really good like prerendered backgrounds AND sprites. Anyway it looks really good.

Those screens look like N64 graphics! There's plenty-o-life left in the SP! 8) I'm prolly keeping mine until Ninty or Sony release something with the same, small clamshell form factor!

 

[thop]

Screens is all good, but check out the video I expteced sth. like that from the DS and now we get it on the SP 8)

 

[j^aws]

Video link doesn't work, it's an IGN link!

 

[thop]

You are right, i didn't know it doesn't work from within the browser :? I used wget (also available for windows) and it works without problems.

 

[j^aws]

Thanks, but I've only got access to a MacOSX at the moment, I'll see if I could hunt down a version of wget fot that!

 

[j^aws]

Checked the video...very pretty for SP and I can see it being mistaken for a DS game! 8) Well, I know what my next pinball game will be!

Edit: It kinda reminds me of when Donkey Kong Country came out on the snes with pre-rendered sprites which gave it a unique 3D look compared to previous titles!

This is going to be awsome. I liked the Pokemon pinball and Sonic pinball on GBA.

 

[Evil_Cloud]

I played it and it's quite nice, but it's not a huge difference with your everyday pinball game.

Looks great I'm getting it for sure. Pokemon Pinball I've played to death. I love MY GBA SP. By far the most fun I'ev had with ANY of my current gen systems.

What you played it? Where? Who are you? Reveal your identity!

Good news everyone, we have three new videos! Again you need wget (or maybe some download tool) to get them.
