This news is simply awesome. A Brothers in Arms game for the DS could be a marvelous addition to my DS Library if Ubisoft can get their collective act together. All of Ubisoft's recent games for Nintendo systems have been hitting the skids in the way of reviews. Red Steel, Prince of Persia, and Splinter Cell all, apparently, sucked on the Wii, but I'm sure they can pull out of that nose dive, and make an awesome DS game. After hearing Andrew tell tales of the Xbox counterpart I'm got nothing but high hopes and excitement for this game.
WiFi or multiplayer would make it even tastier. But I can only hope.
There are a lot of DS games coming over the horizon. I hope some of them are really good, rather than just having a billion mediocre games come out at once.

I think a FPS could handle being on the DS really well. Metroid Prime Hunters was a bit off for me, because the appeal of those games is the exploring, NOT the gunplay.
But oh well. Someone made a version of Duke Nukem 3D that ran on the DS, and it looked amazing. Granted, you have to void your warranty and risk damaging the system to play it...but still...it just shows that FPS CAN work on the Nintendo DS, and people need to make more.
Metroid on the DS really hurt my hands after playing it for more than 30 minutes. Maybe I hold it wrong but the "innovative controls" are enough to steer me away from playing it when I'm looking for something to do.
Now Red Steel... Yes I've read countless reviews on the game and they all seem to put it down. I can tell you one thing, the controls save it from being "just another FPS" I love the precision of being able to snipe someone in the temple, or holding my Uzi gangsta style. Sure there are a few issues with the game that could have been fixed with time (some frame rate issues, music wasn't all that great and the swordplay could have used tweaking) but the core game was excellent. Play it, all of you!
Oh and Stu, glad to see you could make it to the blog world. Always nice to have an addition since there seems to be a drought in the posting lately.
I love how I take all of this time to post comments but I don't post on my own blog.... Well I could make up an excuse and say that I'm preparing my RCG space, which is true, so there!!!
WELCOME STU!!!!!!!
