In
addition, Nintendo of Japan has recently announced a few more games
for the GBA. These include:
Fire
Emblem: The Dark Shrine Maiden
Although no Fire Emblem game has ever been released outside of Japan,
the series continues to be popular in its homeland.
Mario
Advance
We figured it'd happen eventually, but Mario has finally returned to
the 2D platforming scene.
Masterpiece
War
All we know about this one is that it's a war game of some type.
Tactics
Ogre Gaiden
Fans of Ogre Battle 64 will no doubt be drooling over this latest
addition to the series. What's intriguing is that it's a "Gaiden"
game (side story), so it may not follow the Ogre Battle tradition.
Wario
Land 4
Nintendo
is describing this as an RPG now, instead of a platformer like the
previous three Wario Land games.
