...I don't even. Yes, they exist. Are they in any way close to being as good as the DC originals? Take a wild guess.
How in the world did they pull that off LOL. :shock:

Final Fight One is an outstanding port of the arcade version of Final Fight.

I've just started getting into collecting GBA a few months back, and these are what I got so far:

River City Ransom EX (NES, GBA port by Atlus)
Wolfenstein3D (PC, GBA port by Bam! Entertainment)
Pac-Man Collection (Various Arcade, GBA port by Namco)

There's many, many more. If you want remakes, GBA is where its at, Nintendo and otherwise.

It isn't anywhere near as good as the SNES version. Though at least here it is a port, not really a remake.

I never new Desert Strike was popular enough for a port. I also forgot about Phantasy Star!

How in the world did they pull that off LOL. :shock:
Jet Set Radio is isometric, Space Channel 5 is pre-rendered and goes about 2 frames per second, and Crazy Taxi used mode 7.

Crazy Taxi was awful. I bought it at Half Price books for $2 and sold it on ebay after I played it. It's that bad.

SC5 is even worse. JSR actually managed to be decent. Not good, but decent.
