Super Mario Advance 4 is going to be Yoshi's Story. It's the port of the N64 game.

Hmm.. I was hoping it'd be a new game more like Paper Mario, which was a great unknown game. The Mario RPG on SNES was just Final Fantasy with Mari ocharacters, which, while not a bad things.. did not feel like a Mario game.. Papre Mario on the other hand.. :D

That's lame if SMA 4 is Yoshi's story. While fun, that was maybe the easiest game I've ever played.
A remake of Mario RPG would be sweet, I loved that game.
Another Star Fox is welcome too, hopefully it's another shooter.
The other stuff doesn't really interest me much, aside from Mario Kart.

Is that a definite? Cause Mario wasn't even in Yoshi's Story.

It was in Gamepro this month. Just a little blurb, and no information anywhere else, but everyone seems to believe it.

Yoshi's Story? Yuck. I beat that game the first time I played it. I can't remember for sure, but I either never died or only died once. Thankfully I didn't buy it.

looks like some good games for the GC :)
I would hold out hope that Nintendo will do SMA4 right.
We should know in a few days :)

BTW, since Yoshi's Story was an N64 game and the GBA is just slightly more powerful than the SNES, wouldnt' they have to tone down the graphics some?

They could probably have just released SMAS for GBA instead of dragging out those installments.

Looks like Lamepro was wrong! SMA4 will be a conversion of Super Mario Bros. 3!

I don't think I could handle a 2 hr+, 15 turn, 8 player game.

Not to hijack this thread, but that is one of the funniest things I've ever heard. I'm not even sure why.
It's everything I can do not to bust out laughing. I'm at work, it's dead quiet and I have this near uncontrollable urge to guffaw.
Thank you pixyboi! :)

The funny thing is, for a long time, we thought Mario Adavce 4 would be Yoshis Story... Its kinda surprising they switched so fast...
