Looks great. Gameplay certainly, but graphics in particular.

No wonder Nintendo's been able to focus on DS development...their big GBA Games are all being developed out of house (Pokemon, Super Mario Ball, Donkey Kong: King of Swing, Zelda) so their internal EAD developers have all the chances to do DS development.
The graphics look AMAZING for this though...definitely stunning. If I grab a GBA game this holiday season, I'll see how reviews go for this one, but I'll likely focus on DS.

Visually stunning, and the gameplay, and game overall looks great judging from that video. I'll definitely be picking it up.

Has a real SNES Super Mario RPG look to it, but better. Speaking off, a redux would be nice using this game's engine; a straight port would look bad, as seen by Donky Kong Country for the GBA.

That looks pretty damn cool. Hope its fun.
beware - as of e3, this was an awful pinball game. i'm not at all surpised that it's being handled outside nintendo...i would've guessed it was nst. although given that mario vs. donkey kong has recently showed nst to be talented, that assumption probably wasn't fair. if you want something along these lines, pick up the still brilliant kirby's pinball land for gb.

It's not NST...The developer is FUSE Games.
yeah, i noticed that. my phrasing was off: i now know that it's fuse games, but i would have guessed it was nst.
oh, and i didn't care for the prerendered graphics at all. i generally don't. although they look much nicer in that video than they did in the demo.

I can not wait for this game. I wish there was a similar type game for GC that could take advantage of graphical effects. This game does look really good for a GBA game. Should look great on the player.

Apparentely it was awful only to you since Gamespot and other publications named it the best GBA game at E3.....also
at the fusegames website:
"Fuse was founded in 2002 by the creators of the award winning Pro Pinball series, Adrian Barritt and Richard Horrocks, initially to create a brand new type of pinball game for the Game Boy Advance.
As Adrian and Richard were primarily experienced in Design and Programming, they approached Kevin Ayre to direct the Art and
Cai Remrod to help develop the company.
In 2003 Fuse signed a ground breaking and unprecedented publishing deal with Nintendo, to produce "Mario Pinball" for the Game Boy Advance for the world-wide market. Shown at E3 2004, it was received with praise and great acclaim.
Fuse is now beginning its second project, details of which will be announced in due course."
its a new company.....and they seem to have a very good experience with pinball apparentely....

I know words like "awful" and "shit" get bandied around here all the time, and I certainly don't think Mario Pinball deserves to be called any of those, but really I don't think many people would give this game a second notice if anyone besides Nintendo were publishing it. Same goes for King of Swing.Bluemercury said:

Well it has an extremely popular and likeable character as a marketing standpoint and it also seems to expand itself from the typical Pinball genre to include an adventuring aspect to it. Combine those two and it seems to be atleast worthwhile to look at regardless if Nintendo publishes or not (seperating the Mario character from Nintendo brandname of course).fenekku-gitsune said:
Since Nintendo is publishing it, there is atleast a level of assured quality that is understood among the public. If a completely unknown company were to present the same game with an equally likeable character there would be some level of doubt in the company's skill.
EDIT: I'll be honest though, if it starred some unknown character like "Hetero the Gay Hamster" from an unknown company but the game quality were the exact same I'd be less interested in it. I loves me my Mario!

Wait, that's GBA? Jesus, I thought that was GameCube.
the "table" in the demo consisted of several tiny, virtually empty screens. rather than anything resembling pinball, the game revolves around bopping the odd koopa or collecting coins. isometric viewpont doesn't really work either. kirby's pinball land and pokemon pinball worked because the fanciful videogamey elements didn't overwhelm the pinball. not so here.
