Title: ROTTK, Civilization, Railroad Tycoon,
Post by: Recoilx on April 17, 2003, 02:49:52 PM
Who here believes that Romance Of The Three Kingdoms Advance will come stateside ever? Or that Civilization (even Railroad Tycoon) will ever see the light of day on the GBA? I personally think those titles would be perfect for the GBA. Any thoughts on this?

the problem with games like Civlization, is the the original games used a 320X240 resolution, which is significantly larger than the GBAs 240X160. To port games like that over means creating them from the ground up, art assest cannot be reused without being edited, and so on. So it isn't cost effective to port them to GBA.

I am hoping that nintendo sees fit to use a 320X240 screen in thier next handheld, the possibilties would be endless.

I doubt it. I have the GBA version of ROTK and it's nothing but a remake of the 4th game. That's good and all but I played the 4th one to death so it isn't very exciting anymore... although once I get started I can't put it down like always.

A remake of the fourth game on the GBA would be good enough for me.
