The Best (or worst) Video game we'll never get to play

I think you want a gameboy advance.

I read a rumour, that Nintendo has developed a chip, that will power the 32 bit engine in the GBA, to outperform the PS1's polygon capabilities. Some of the games for the GBA, if you didn't know, already use polygon graphics, like Crash Bandicoot, which I hear is really good looking.

Yeah! GBA is sooooo freakin awesome!!!! Its amazing that they can reproduce games at the quality they do
I believe that will pull that off...they already are getting some near PSX quality stuff right now

I saw that Final Fantasy Tactics 2 is coming exclusively to GBA which has sealed the deal for me getting one

That is truly a weird game.

Speaking of games that no one gets to play, did anyone here besides myself import a copy of Tobal 2 for the PS1 several years ago? 60fps, clean textures, high poly characters.. Square and Dream Factory maxed out (albeit smoothly maxed out) the PS1 farther than any old Gran Turismo game ever did and we never got to play it due to the fact that Tobal No. 1 sold poorly.

The quest mode in 2 was huge, too. Very deep gameplay and lots of items and characters/monsters to unlock and play (I think it was like 140 different character models, all slightly varying in play).

I remember seeing that in a few mags when it came out and thinking how ambitious it was to combine a rpg and a fighter like that...which they tried again with Ergheiz
I never got to play either of the Tobal games.....Akira Toriyama did the designs for it which is a big plus in making me want to play it

I used to be an asst. manager at Electronics Boutique, and I vaguely remember trying Tobal when it first came out. I do recall that it looked pretty good, but I don't remember much else about it.
