Engine Features
3D Features Overhead, side on, first & third person 3D views 2D / 3D
Math API 2D software and hardware rendered sprites Full screen coverage texture mapped primitives running at 30fps+
Flat shaded and texture mapped polygonal and surface rendering engines
Smooth lit shaded texture mapped bitmap and polygon primitives
Real-time 8-bpp and 15-bpp rendering engines Non real-time 15-bpp true colour RGB smooth lit engines
Fast Spherical and cylindrical single primitive rendering
Transparent textures
Tiled textures
Reflective looking surfaces
Affine & perspective correct rendering available
Dynamic level of detail system
Mipmapping
Automated texture animation system Support for 3D Studio max exported data
Bone key frame character animation support
Proprietary super fast character rendering system
Proprietary OHE engine format for the display of optimised overhead 3D worlds
Proprietary WFR engine format for the display of optimised first and 3rd person 3D worlds
Proprietary MDX engine format for the display of generic 3D polygon worlds
General Features
OOP design
GBA hardware encapsulation
Runs on PC, GBA and Windows CE based PDA. The exact same code and graphics are used across all platforms Windows based GUI editors for creation of 3D gaming worlds, the objects that occupy them and all other associated data. Imports modeling and animation data directly from 3D Studio MAX.

I doubt it will be anything to blow me away... the GBA is very limited in what it can do... they should save something like this for the Sony PSP or Nintendo DS
