Talk about impressive. This video from Unseen64 demonstrates the kind of horsepower that the GBA really had, showcasing a tour of a facility not unlike the docking facility in the original Metal Gear Solid. Pretty neat that the best 3D on the GBA outweigh sub-par work on, say, the PSX. Not that you’d ever want to, y’know, play a 3D game on the platform — bit of a pain with only 4 buttons and a D-Pad — but it just goes to show just how much juice could be squeezed out of the little bastard with the right engine behind it.
This is kind of shocking that the GBA had so much power. Not that I was ever unsatisfied but I’ve always thought of it as a tiny, slightly better SNES. This puts it closer to the N64 which is how I think of the DS.
I wonder if the DS has some hidden power that hasn’t yet been fully disclosed.
