The basic gameplay is sort of a beat'em up, kind of like Viewtiful Joe. Not as good as Viewtiful Joe, mind you, but still awesome. There are also some shmup levels.
The biggest problem is that it's short, but that's really expected from a Treasure game at this point. It also suffers from some pretty nasty slowdown at times.
Still, it's probably my favorite 3rd party game in my GBA game collection at this point.

YES! YES! I agree 100%!
Seriously Nintendo could just buy Treasure and tell them to make whatever they wanted and it would greatly help them fill up gaps in the release schedule and provide some instant variety to Nintendo's lineup. Plus it would attract hardcore gamers. Nothing that would really change the console wars but it every little bit helps. Include Radiant Silvergun as a pack-in game for the Revolution and every hardcore gamer nut on the internet would buy it.
As for Astro Boy, I haven't played it yet but I'm very interested in it. I'll probably get it used sometime in the future.

I distinctly remember that Nintendo refused to say who was developing Wario World at one point, only to say that is was being made by a Nintendo second party. Weird. Maybe some plans to buy out Treasure fell through.
And they NEED to release Contra as part of the classic NES series. I would actually be willing to pay $20 for that game.

I agree too, and it probably wouldn't cost that much at all, compared to other companies of similar talent and name recognition. As for having them make whatever they wanted, I would rather have Treasure have more free will, Wario is a good game, but Treasures original stuff is better. Focus on what they do best.
As for Astro Boy on gba, I've read nothing but great things. It's nice to see a third party game that is so good on gba. I'm very much interested in Advance Guardian Heroes, I never got to play GH on Saturn or was it DC, I forget lol, but I remember it was a killer app. Anyways, I've read that AGH suffers from slowdown currently, but I'm sure they'll polish it up to where it doesn't matter, like in AB, which supposedly has some but isn't that bad at all.

Yeah that's what I meant. Looking at it again it is worded a little awkwardly. Do you honestly think I want more Wario World? Nintendo buying a company just to boss them around is a waste of time since it would fail to provide any variety.

I remember hearing somewhere that Treasure didn't want to be second-party. Is that right, or is my imagination flaring up again?

This is like the worst possible scenario I can think of. We get crummy games because of Nintendo's attitude towards second parties so to fix this problem instead of changing their retarded attitude they drop the second party system outright. So instead of us getting some crummy second party games and some great second party games we get less games overall period. WOW! With this sort of genius problem solving I'm sure it's just a coincedence that the Cube is in last place in North America.

Ya, the PS2 version didn't do so well, I forget who made it, was it Sega? Or did Sega just publish it? I doubt that Ikargua will get ported this generation, one of the main reasons it came to Cube was because of the design of the game it was extremely easy to port to the GC.
