``By bringing these classic SEGA brands to Game Boy Advance, THQ continues to execute on its strategy of releasing top

brands among the expanding Game Boy Advance audience.''
``Working together with THQ, SEGA is bringing some of our most coveted franchises to the Game Boy Advance platform

The next round of Game Boy Advance games scheduled to be published by THQ and SEGA include the following:
VIRTUA TENNIS (working title) -- VIRTUA TENNIS (working title) follows the easy-to-play, addictive style of its SEGA

Boy Advance owners train their own player in World Circuit mode. VIRTUA TENNIS (working title) is scheduled for release in
late 2002.
CRAZY TAXI (working title) -- CRAZY TAXI (working title) for Game Boy Advance combines the action and arcade style of

I would think it would be controlled like 'kirby tilt', where you just move your gameboy around.
Could be very cool.
..But i really don't play too much monkey ball single player. I mainly just play party games with my friends.
Now if only they'd bring Virtual Tennis to the GC..

WARNING: This game may only be played with the tilt feature during daylight hours or in a well lit room. Playing this game while riding in a car may injure others... especially when you are driving!
But I'll be getting it... I love playing it on my GCN... maybe they'll do a SMB II for the GCN and make it work with the GBA version...????
