It's worth noting that this is not just another nostalgia-bait fake retro game (like most new releases on old consoles are these days), but rather a legitimate resumption of development on an actual GBA game that was started and then cancelled 20 years ago.

GBA game ... 20 years ago

Yep. Not only that, but apparently they've left the spot for the story in the canon the whole time so they don't have to retcon anything or make it fit in a new spot in the story.
