1412 - Sabre Wulf (E)

[T-hug]

I'm surprised at the lack of comments on this one, it's a cool game.

Was Banjo & Kazooie by Rare..? Cuz that sucked.

Yeh it was made by Rare. I didn't think it was too bad, but I didn't have the desire to finish it.

I'm going to give this one a go, seems nice, I'll flash it to my new free X-Rom 512!

Yay man I've been waiting for this one for a long time! I remember the first screens for this before the GBA was even released...

Rare rock!

Oh and Banjo Kazooie did definately not suck...okay it wasn't as good as either N64 games but it was the first decent, original platformer I've played on the GBA for a very long time. Prehaps it was too short and the view wasn't great but it was obvious to see that many months (well actually years) of hard programming had been spent on the game and regardless or not if you enjoyed it Thug, it certainly was a quality game.

Still prehaps I enjoyed it more because I'm one of the 2 or 3 people in this forum who know actually knows anything about Rare and love their games, like geez...next thing you'll be saying is that you havn't played Donkey Kong Country or GoldenEye.

Anyway I should stop talking now and go and download...Sabre Wulf looks really cool...Rare sensibly stuck to the classic DKC style and there are some really cool features about the game...I don't think I'll judge them until I actually get my hands on it though. Hmm... BTW I wonder if Rare are still working on Diddy Kong Pilot...doubt it but well you never know.


Oh and about all the (E) releases it's just a coincidence...Pop Idol has been out for ages (at least 4-5 months), Sabre Wulf is made by Rare, whom are UK based, hence the leak (I bet the (U) will be a dupe), and the developers behind Tak and the Power of JuJu are also based in the UK...I'm pretty sure.

I can vaguely remember getting lost in the jungle and getting yellow fever in the orginal on the ZX Spectrum. I prefered Jetpac though, that would be a good remake!

If you mean the GBA Banjo then I'll agree with you, but if you mean the N64 ones I'll have to poke your eyes out with this stick

w000t? you dont know sabre wulf?!

i was looking forward to this for a looooong time
lets see how good it is

 

[Karnage]

Is it sabrewulf from killer instinct ?

 

[pikadude]

I've only just started, but from what I've played it's a very nice little game. A good release.

 

[Kevin Doan]

i dont know if any body remeber the game killer instinct ... SaberWulf is a charather that you can play ... like a lot of charather in the game are not original to the series... they are Cameos

Are we the only one that thought of Killer Instinct when I heard about this?

 

[Karnage]

No i did lol

 

[face_kicker]

Final-f'ing-ly!! I've thought this thing was supposed to be out last year? Anyway...I'm off to the download.

 

[Dais]

It's definitely not the worst platformer I've ever played on the GBA, but from what I heard in this thread, I was certainly expecting something.....better.

*goes back to Shining Soul 2 and EXE3*

 

[Bi0Hazrd]

I dont know if it will be good but I will try it. Rare is not the same as before.

 

[Electro]

Looks like a fun game, but I can't save on my F2A 256MB even after patching the rom! I get "Save Failed"

anyone knows a way around this..?

 

[Vizenzo]

Wow this game is good

 

[TheGreat2nd]

Wow...
The good games keep pouring in.
Keep em coming!

 

[gba2002]

YES YES and YES, finally its here, i will be playin this all night.

 

[Killermech]

I have finally played some and I liked it alot.. the jump around map part reminded me of mario luigi superstars

its a little like a combined puzzle (not much) with platforming of jumping around, and the part when u reach sabre wulf and u are suppose to run back to tent before he catches you is just lovely.
ps: the lab level music sounds like something taken from starwars

The original Sabre Wulf was developed by Rare under their original name 'Ultimate'. They had loads of classics for the Spectrum; Atic Atac, Sabre Wulf, Knight Lore, Jet Pac, Alien 8, Underworld, and others. The games are playable today on the GBA with emulation, and are worth a run through.
