Offering 12 brand-new missions with a choice of 10 combat planes, Ace Combat Advance showcases some of the best graphics available on Game Boy Advance and allows players to improve their skill levels from Novice to Ace Pilot. Casting players in the role of a new recruit of the United Air Defense out to destroy the Air Strike Force and bring General Resources Ltd. -- an evil worldwide economic superpower -- to its knees; Ace Combat Advance features a graphically-detailed overhead perspective. Players are set in the midst of intense high-action air combat and fly air-to-air and air-to-ground missions while advancing their skills and unlocking new planes and weapons as their reward.

Five new puzzle-packed worlds await fans of floppy-eared hero Klonoa in Klonoa 2 Dream Champ Tournament, another fast-paced, colorful side-scrolling adventure.

Combining platform, puzzle and adventure elements, Klonoa 2 Dream Champ Tournament offers fiendishly-designed puzzles which players must solve using boxes, bomb boxes, switches, goomies, springs and scales in their quest for glory.
