Crawfish Game Boy Advance FPS gets a movie tie-in – New blistering screens!

The first time we all got excited about the Game Boy Advance was when the nice blokes at Crawfish showed us what they were up to with their development kit.

The team of master handheld developers were showing off a working demo of a first person shooter based around the maps from the original Doom game. We were most impressed with the strafing the team had programmed, which was operated using the shoulder buttons of Nintendo’s new pocket rocket.

Since then Crawfish has been hard at work looking for a theme for it’s technology and today the company announced that it had found one.

The bizarrely named Ecks vs. Sever is an espionage-themed movie starring Antonio Banderas and Chow Yun-Fat, centering around two opposing spies who turn out to be working for the same side.

Crawfish also announced a publishing deal with Bam! Entertainment that will see the game released sometime this summer.

As far as we are aware, Crawfish is the only company to dedicate any time to the FPS genre on GBA. id software stated that it had not taken receipt of any console development kit since the Dreamcast but stated that it would consider licensing out its property to the right people.

This title from Crawfish is surely the hottest title on the Advance to date.
