July 22, 2002: Superman Gameboy Advance Details

Much has been said about the up-coming PS2 and xBox Superman games, but the up-coming Superman Gameboy Advance game seems to get little publicity.

Listed as "Coming Soon" on the Infogrames website, the game is titled "Superman: Countdown to Apokolips". Here's the information supplied by Infogrames...

So much villainy, so little time.

Lois Lane has been kidnapped, and only the Man of Steel can save her! Agents from the lava-scarred planet Apokolips have come to Metropolis to humiliate Superman before the entire world, right in his own hometown. Enlisting the aid of local mob kingpin Bruno Mannheim, leader of the notorious Intergang, wicked emissary Kanto supplies the gang with out-of-this-world weaponry possessing the power to bring down Superman. While Superman is busy bringing the thugs of Intergang to justice, the beastlike Kalibak seizes the opportunity to abduct Lois and spirit her away to a remote, clandestine location. In the meantime, bad bundle of energy Livewire has busted out of Strykers Island Prison, and she is out for vengeance against the man who put her there--Superman. There is no rest for the Last Son of Krypton as the Countdown to Apokolips begins!
