I haven't seen the game out yet, but I did glance at a review. It looks
similar to the Zelda type fantasy games out, but with better graphics. I
don't know too many details about it, but it looks good and got a good
review.

On a related note, though it's not too pertinent to this list, I have heard
a lot of talk about a Battletech game for the SNES using the new Super FX
16 bit RISC coprocessor (a technology that I have had an opportunity to
study this semester albeit in the 32 bit version). I have not seen anything
about it or read any reviews but it is probably coming out in the next few
months. It is similar to the "Mechwarrior" game currently out for the PC,
but I have heard rumors that it will incorporate 3055 and clan technology,
and may possibly allow some limited 'mech design also. These are just rumors,
I am not responsible for their validity.

I personally plan to pick up both. I recently purchased StarFox for the SNES
and it has proven that the super FX is great for simulation games.
