DS game wish list

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.video.nintendo,uk.games.video.handheld (More info?)

With rumours of Age of Empires and Europa Universalis 2 in the pipeline,
what PC games(if any) would you like to see ported over to the DS?
For me it would have to be Settlers 2(oh yeah!), but it ain't gonna happen!
Transport Tycoon Deluxe(same comment!).
Civ 2(or 3 if it could handle it)
A proper Sims game.
A Dungeon Keeper/Stronghold/Total War type of game(a medievil/fantasy
city/nation-builder).
Diablo/Neverwinter Nights type of RPG.
A very decent point+click adventure game(Broken Sword/Gabriel Knight/Monkey
Island/Grim Fandango etc etc).
A flight sim along the lines of Crimson Skies or Ace Combat.
Theme Park/RCT(Zoo Tycoon is in the pipeline).
Medal of Honour(the original PS1 game).
Some decent WW2 games(Silent Storm, Sudden Strike etc).

There's a danger that there wouldn't be enough depth because of the memory
limitations of the DS Cart, but I've read talk of them being able to cram
more memory into them.

What is the maximum capacity of a DS card?

Anyway:

Lemmings (Amiga version with the proper music, not the dreadful PC version)
Lemmings (Amiga version with the proper music, not the dreadful PC version)
Lemmings (Amiga version with the proper music, not the dreadful PC version)
Lemmings (Amiga version with the proper music, not the dreadful PC version)
Lemmings (Amiga version with the proper music, not the dreadful PC version)
Lemmings (Amiga version with the proper music, not the dreadful PC version)
Lemmings (Amiga version with the proper music, not the dreadful PC version)
Lemmings (Amiga version with the proper music, not the dreadful PC version)
Lemmings (Amiga version with the proper music, not the dreadful PC version)
Lemmings (Amiga version with the proper music, not the dreadful PC version)

Erm, I think I want Lemmings...

Ok, being silly there - besides Lemmings:

Monkey Island 1&2
Day of the Tentacle
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
Settlers 2
Frontier: Elite II
Cannon Fodder (complete with "War" music)

Paul.

Owned by Sony, though, isn't it? So unlikely to get a DS release.

This made me think of something else; I think Silent Scope, in the hands
of an imaginative developer, could work rather well on the DS; the touch
screen could be the overall view, with the top screen being the view
through the scope.

Sony bought Psygnosis around the time of the PlayStation launch, but I
think they sold them again a couple of years later. *shrugs*

I thought they just stopped using the name? Not totally sure, though.
They still seem to own Wipeout and Destruction Derby, which were Psygnosis
games originally, I think? And psygnosis.com points to a Sony site, too.

Good choice. I would also say Lemmings:the Tribes.
At the moment the capacity of a DS card is a gigabit(128MB).
But you can get mem cards of that size with a 'proper' Gig in them(but
they're very expensive).

But wasn't Lemmings a DMA Design (aka Rockstar North) game?

yup, it was indeed, was only published by psygnosis, who were bought
by sony, but then disbanded, but then kinda reborn as studio
Liverpool, with a lot of the ex-psygnosis staff.

I thought Psygnosis owned Lemmings though? They did Lemmings 3D and
Lemmings Paintball, for example, which didn't have anything to do with DMA
as far as I know, and there was that PS1 port of Lemmings from Sony Europe
which was long after DMA and Psygnosis had parted company. Sony were also
doing that Lemmings Revolution game a few years ago, too.

What about some sort of Pictionary-type game? I'm not sure how well it would
work for a single-player option, but multiplayer would be pretty cool.
Drawing using the stylus is pretty obvious, but you could choose to have an
onscreen keyboard for typing in answers, or you could allow players to shout
out answers if the software allowed for a judge to decide when someone got
it right.

Lemmings: The Tribes was very good too. 128MB would certainly be enough for all
those games listed above, even with 256-colour graphics although I would imagine
that the speech would have to be dropped from DOTT.

Am I right in assuming the DS can take regular SD cards, or is that something
I've got confused with that movie player add-on in Japan?

Paul.

It would be a shame if Sony do own the rights to Lemmings because no version of
it would ever make it onto the DS (Then again, it's probably unlikely a version
would be ported anyway - it isn't a Nintendo cash cow). The only other
possibility of getting 'authentic' Lemmings on there would be for a homebrew
Amiga emulator to be written for the DS which could then run the disk images.
From what I've seen of the DS, there is a lot of potential there for homebrew
projects.

WIth the wireless capabilities of the DS, that would be a pretty good idea. It
would certainly go a lot further than noughts and crosses in Pictochat! ;-)

It could be that the most simplest of games will end up utilising the DS's
capabilities the most.

Yeah, it is. And technically it's not a "DS" movie player add on thing,
because it works on the GBA as well, but obviously that means the DS too.
So it is. And isn't. You get me.

1. I'd like to see Red Alert2, AOE2, Starcraft, Warcratf 2 or 3
2. Bomberman- I'd like to see the 3 n64 bomberman games again but this
time with better multiplayer and in the case of the other 2 actual
multiplayer would be a good start.
3. Castlevania the new one looks sweeet I love how they implemented the
stylus.
4. Gaunlet Legends would be good too its a nice simple multiplayer game.
5. Mr Driller- I really dig it.
6. Blast Corps- The 1st and one of the best N64 games I hope they port it
across to DS.
7. The last two are must haves for any owner of a DS "Mario Kart" and
whos collection would be complete with out the new version of of "Super
Mario Brothers"

Civ 2 on the DS would be absolutely brilliant. An X-COM game would be good
too, but Infogrames seem to have dropped the franchise these days.

That hasn't stopped Microsoft-owned Rare developing GBA games.

Difference is though, MS aren't competing with Nintendo with a handheld, so
GBA games don't really have any bearing on Xbox sales, unlike Gamecube or
PS2 games.

DS games on the other hand will have some bearing on PSP sales. How much,
no-one knows.

Besides, Rare can develop GBA games simply because that was probably "part
of the deal" when they were bought. I wonder if there are other MS owned
companies which would get told off if they even tried developing GBA games.

There's a superb touch-screen unofficial port of Lemmings available for
Symbian UIQ (Sony Ericsson P800/P900/P910, Motorolla A1000 etc). It
looks and plays just like the Amiga version.

On a wireless link up with others, would just be the best. None of the

The "don't cross post between alt.* and uk.games.video* game".

I don't really want ports. I'm most looking forward to BBCT DS, which I've
just heard has had its full name announced as Bungo Bungo Cat Throw: Double
Scratch!! (yes, with two exclamation marks, and everything). I think this
could be an excellent use of the touch screen.
