Remember the days of the Genesis, Nintendo and Super NES Tiny Toon's Videogames? Well two new entries into the series are getting ready to see the light of day on the Game Boy Advance - Tiny Toon Adventures: Buster's Bad Dream and Tiny Toon Adventures: Wacky Stackers produced respectively by Treasure and Warthog.


Buster's Bad Dream will be developed by Treasure - an offshoot of Konami who developed the classic Contra and Castlevania NES series - they are also the very same people who developed TTA 1 and 2, Buster Busts Loose, and Buster's Hidden Treasure, which have been remembered by many as the the best of the liscense.


http://pocketmedia.ign.com/media/news/image/otherstuff/swings/buster10.jpgThis title has some real potential for success thanks to its original blend of platform elements, fighter-like combos, and a new 'Partner System' that allows players to team up with other characters. Features include four worlds including Acme Forest, Haunted Mansion, Space Station, and a surprise final world. Partner up with Babs Bunny, Dizzy Devil, and other Tiny Toons and battle against Elmyra, Montana Max, and more.

The second game, courtesy of Conspiracy Entertainment is bringing its own unique spin on the Tetris genre in Tiny Toon Adv.: Wacky Stackers. Developed by Warthog (responsible for the current output of TTA games: Buster Saves the Day and the Playstation versions, Tiny Toons Wacky Stackers features the Buster Bunny, Plucky Duck, and fellow Toons as players flip and stack eggs in multiplayer mayhem.

Combos are formed by grouping eggs of the same color together, creating giant-sized eggs for extra points. It's friendly game of color-matching the red, green, blue, yellow, and pink eggs in a race against time and the ever-growing pile of pieces. In an original twist, gameplay is turned upside-down when special events happen, like a Martian UFO that appears onscreen to abduct eggs from the stacks below, egg-destroying Tazmanian Devils, and a firehose-wielding Plucky Duck.

No release date has been given as of yet for Wacky Stackers, but they are said to be a Fall 2001 release, Winter at the latest. For more info on the games check the source links below!
