Munch not anymore Xbox eXclusive!
 
Incredible but true... it will also be released, not on PS2, not on GameCube but on GameBoy Advanse!

I have no idea what the hell that said but during my horrific struggle to try to read what ever the hell that said I did manage to make out the words Munch's Oddysee which can only mean one thing.............exactlly...:fuzblink:

Xavier 06-25-2002 05:04 PM

well try with babelfish...
I think it's pretty horible

buckminster 06-25-2002 05:43 PM

Found the announcement on xboxaddict.com:

http://www.xboxaddict.com/main.php#M...Go To Game Boy

Xavier 06-25-2002 05:46 PM

yes and it's now on GameSpot too:
http://gamespot.com/gamespot/stories...872192,00.html

I hope it will be better than the others oddworlds on GameBoy

buckminster 06-25-2002 07:28 PM

GBA's graphic capabilities are far more advanced than GB or GBC. I'm not that familiar with it, but I know some people have created real-time 3D rendering engines for it even!

*looks at www.gameboy.com*...

The graphics look at least as good as the Super Nintendo.

Majic 06-26-2002 03:44 AM

No. I despise, loathe, strongly dislike this. Nintendo is getting good games from other systems, what if they make a comeback?! And darnet, I wasted my time trying to transpose that headline of the other first one to english...

L'Odyssée de Munch sur GBA !
25/06/2002 16:42:00
Incroyable ! Deux grands titres de Microsoft (dont l'Odyssée de Munch) seront adaptés sur Game Boy Advance !

Odyssee of Munch on GBA!
25/06/2002 16:42:00
Incredible! The grand titles of Microsoft (Like odyssee of Munch) is adapted to Game Boy Advanced!

Wow, I'm such a loser... O well, in my mind it makes sense;)

Xavier 06-26-2002 03:57 AM

I'm not going to buy it...
I will do like the 2 others: get the emulator:D

Wil 06-26-2002 09:13 AM

Hmm, I'm not sure what to think of this... after all, Munch's Oddysee is signed to be Xbox Exclusive, but then a handheld version of Oddworld is almost a tradition - we had Oddworld Adventures and Oddworld Adventures II after all.

Oh well, we'll just have to see what happens.

Xavier 06-26-2002 09:20 AM

I hope THQ will do a great job...
not like the 2 others

One, Two, Middlesboogie 06-26-2002 11:36 AM

I hope it'll be worth getting and not like the godawful Spyro GBA ports.

Buckminster: yes, the graphics are pretty amazing for a handheld. I was very impressed with Spyro: Season Of Ice's graphics. Shame the gameplay let it down.

TheKhanzumer 06-26-2002 01:51 PM

I personally don't consider the gameboy Oddworld games part of the series. They are more like an easy way that OWI can make more money (at least, I hope they make more money).

Now my little cousin can play. He is only six and dosn't have an XBox but he loves Abe and Munch... especially when they fart/belch.

Xavier 06-26-2002 05:49 PM

well you can try to get an emulator...
it's cheap :)

They were poor ports (OA2, at least. I haven't played 1) of the first two games made by another developer. They obviously aren't part of the series.

Xavier 06-26-2002 07:11 PM

true...
they aren't even on the official site.

Kaimana 06-26-2002 07:48 PM

Im not to sure how this game will turn out but if it does i hope it is loyal to the traditional Oddworld games.:fuzconf:

Mac the Janitor 06-27-2002 02:42 PM

Wow! I'm gonna get it!
Do you know the release date?
I wonder if they will redo OA and OA2 for GBA...(probably not)

Xavier 06-27-2002 03:07 PM

they did => oddworld adventures 1 and 2
it will be realeased in 2003

Why would they do that? The GBA is backwards-compatible with all other Game Boy systems.



From Oddworld.com: "Microsoft and Nintendo team up with GBA premier publisherTHQ to bring an adaptation of Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee to the GameBoy Advance"

But who's the developer? Please don't let it be Saffire. They did an aweful job with Oddworld Adventures 1 & 2.

Mac the Janitor 06-27-2002 03:51 PM

Yes, I know...but maybe they could redo them using GBA's greater graphics capability and make them closer to the real games for PS. Make them actually worth putting on the official site. Just a thought.

not rentable...
hmmmm wasn't THQ the devlopper?

MojoMan220 06-27-2002 11:49 PM

Although I will not get the game(I don't have a GBA), I am looking forward to see how it translates to GBA.

Kaimana 06-28-2002 01:10 AM

I dont know if that was a wise move to make placing a OW game on GBA however i do recall AO on GB.:fuzconf:

Mac the Janitor 06-28-2002 02:23 AM

Yes, if anybody sees any screens of this game I will greatly appreciate it if you posted them.(I'm sure everyone else will too:D)

ethan 06-28-2002 04:47 AM

what are you guys taking about?

One, Two, Middlesboogie 06-28-2002 06:56 AM

Mac the Janitor: If you meant the GB and GBC games, I found some on Google (if you meant the GBA version, I can't help you there; it's still in early development so there won't be any screens yet).

Oddworld Adventures:



Oddworld Adventures 2:



Ethan: Are you always this irritating or are you making a special effort? We didn't post the rest of this topic for fun. Read it, for crying out loud!

Xavier 06-28-2002 09:44 AM

Mac the Janitor 06-28-2002 03:45 PM

Yeah, sorry about that, guys. I was talking about this new one. I should have been more specific.

Wow! OA2 is colorful! I only have the first one... is OA2 better than OA?

Xavier 06-28-2002 03:48 PM

yes it's a bit better, and full of colors...
but I still don't like it so much.

Mac the Janitor 06-28-2002 04:01 PM

I'm thinking about getting it.

Do you think it's worth $10?
