First, there was Mario Kart Advance. Second, there was Mario Advance? Copy and paste this in your browser:

No, it's not another Mario sports title, but a "real" Mario game. This is the best news since Perfect Dark...

I'll have to update my site. All I knew about was "Super Mariokart Advance, "Super Smash Bros. Advance," and "Yoshi's Story Advance." This is great news, I hope it follows in the footsteps of "Super Mario Land."

Hmmm...it says that Wario Land 4 will be an RPG-type game. Interesting. Wario going RPG?

When will they learn what? To stop making fun games so your sorry ass can attempt to beat Super Mario Bros.?

Sorry, that was unnecessary.

Yahoo! Deezer put me in the news! Look under January 3 on the news page. Thanx man! :)

By the way, It looks like Wario Land 4 will be different. Nintendo said that it will be a RPG-type game, so who knows what could happen. Wario going from adventure to RPG is a big step.

I hope Mario Advance will be an original game instead of a sequal. C'mon Nintendo...

Yeah, I'm really having trouble picturing Wario in an RPG-type adventure. I was more than happy with the sidescroller games. . .

What I mean is the "Wario Land" series is very low quality and notoriously unpopular. It would be a bad move on Nintendo's part to make yet another one. There need to be good traditional games, not anarchist fluff.

Which Wario Land games have you played? The first one was painfully easy, but 2 and 3 were good. 2 had the most fun and well-rounded gameplay, while 3 was the most challenging with an emphasis on puzzle solving.

And they were hardly unpopular. I think you'll find they rank among some of the highest-sale GB games...

I think they're great fun... Wario's such a great character ^_^

I wonder if WL4 will have Waluigi as a secondary character.

More info on SMA, by the way... it's a SMB2 remake, by the looks of it. A few differences, a Mario Bros. game option... and a few screenshots. Unfortunately they don't seem to be pointing towards originality with Mario platformers. Just more rehashes of old games that we all already have ~_~;

That giant Phanto in the SMA screenshots looks like the sort of thing that was in BS SMB USA on the Satellaview (when you get it to work properly).

Maybe Nintendo is going to recycle some of its old Satellaview games into GBA games?

That...Is unbelivably good news!
