The Giana's Return Team is probably bringing out a Gameboy Advance version of their "The Great Giana Sisters" sequel. Read on...

Widdy ( http://www.widdy.de ) a smart guy from Bavaria / Germany and member of a bunch of demogroups has started to conduct a study if a GBA version of Giana’s Return would be doable and to all our surprise the chance is pretty high.

He already has a platform engine which is highly adjusted to the GBA hardware so he just needs to push in the Giana’s Return elements and also the appropriated stuff around.

As the GBA is tile wise limited in color, he has to repixel few parts. The music we use for Giana’s Return is .XM, which can’t be handled on a GBA without too much CPU use, BUT am-fm, our new music support guy will rearrange things, so even .MOD’s will sound fine.

Let’s see how this GBA attempt will end!

Hooryay for Giana Sisters!

The player sprite looks great, compared to the original, but it's still recognizably Giana. And that's a good thing.

Having Giana's Return on my tiny little GBA would be a really cool thing!

We recieved an update from Widdy, tile collision is working, tiles are animated and the three different jumps are implemented.
Also ALL used backgrounds have been converted to tiles without almost no loss!

I think, there's something in the air about this...

Hint: look closely.

This would be great. Hope for more action on the Gameboy homebrew front.
