NFS 5: NFS Porsche on GBA Monday, 13.01.2003
Some of you may know that many many months ago, EA signed on Destination Software Inc. to develop Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed on the Gameboy Advance. I'm not sure about the details of what happened, but basically either DSI had their hands full, or didn't have the technology to do NFS:PU on the GBA. Enter Pocketeers. In the past year or so, Pocketeers had been doing a lot of cool stuff on the GBA, including making a fully functional Quake tech-demo. Recently they were pushing to get the rights to licenses of big-name games, including GTA and NFS, and it seems as though they've struck gold. Pocketeers reports on their website that they've reached an agreement with DSI to produce NFS:PU on the GBA. Aparently they've been only given three and a half months to complete the project so it might be asking too much to get a fully fledged port. If Pocketeers can pull it off though, they'll probably be a company that we'll see more of in the future.

There is more discussion in Pocketeer's Forums about it and if you have any good ideas for the port, or any burning questions about it, you should throw it at them in their forums. You should also check out their website for some screenshots from their racing engine (these shots are NOT from NFS:PU). Although the car you can see on the shots is a Lamborghini, the track seems to be Normandie from NFS PU. According to Pocketeers, the engine that they'll be using for PU will be much better than the one shown in the shots.
