"All of the compromises and omissions that were made (or not made, as the case may be) to bring Ace Combat Advance to the GBA have sucked out everything that made the franchise so appealing and so interesting on the console. Fans expecting an authentic Ace Combat on the go are sure to be disappointed. That said, if you're merely looking for a portable shoot-'em-up, Ace Combat Advance does have enough going for it to offer a few solid hours of aerial combat."
 
Why does even Namco bother with these ports? Tekken Advance, Kill.Switch Advance, Ace Combat Advance... etc..

Well, they should at least be trying for managable ports. Genesis/SNES stuff to GBA, PS1 stuff to DS, PS2 stuff to PSP. That sort of thing.

Kill.Switch GBA was handled by Destination, actually. But the point stands.
