Talk about impressive. This video from
Unseen64 demonstrates the kind of horsepower that the GBA really had, showcasing a tour of a facility not unlike the docking facility in the original
Metal Gear Solid. Pretty neat that the best 3D on the GBA outweigh sub-par work on, say, the PSX. Not that you'd ever want to, y'know,
play a 3D game on the platform -- bit of a pain with only 4 buttons and a D-Pad -- but it just goes to show just how much juice could be squeezed out of the little bastard with the right engine behind it.
[Thanks, MJK!]

Oddly enough, we haven't really seen graphics that are too much better on the DS.......if these guys made an engine for it, the DS would kick sooo much more ass.

V-Rally 3 was pretty damn impressive too
Thanks!
That really didn't have anything to do with the article at all.
guys the link is to a "demo" site and the video in this post is a demo someone made for the GBA :p

It annoyed me very much that gba the perfect 2d plattform was focusing so much on 3d. Now with the DS it seems to be the other way around.
and the GameCube could have Wii gra... oh, nm
But there was also Duke Nukem 3D for the gba, which I did have the full 3d envrioment which was one of the reasons I bought a gba.

If there really was horsepower, they wouldn't have to go to that extent for a demo with no other parallel tasks running (as you would have in a game).
I say good on them for the effort, but I don't see much real value in this beyond interesting demos.
