New Zealand Story for the DS!
 

Looks as though New Zealand Story is gonna make an appearance on the Ninty DS!

From the look of the screenshots the bottom screen is gonna be used for a map, and it looks like they've changed the belly of the whale boss to take advantage of the dual screens.

I'd like to playtest this once it comes out (if it finally makes it)

Another day, another remake

The graphics look good and it has been given an overhaul. If only I have, and are able to use, an DS.

You could actually see Tiki enter the whale's stomach when he gets eaten.

Yeah I know you could see inside the whale on the Amiga version but that was only when you were eaten, if you look on the DS screenshot the inside of the whale is visible from the start.

Also, there appear to be crates/boxes in the air, possibly to protect tiki?

Looks cool, wish I had a DS ;)

Have a DS with Supercard. But there is not a lot of cool games till now.90% japaneese crap, and just the rest for european and US releases.:bash
The best game so far is NANOSTRAY by ex ABYSS dudes.
But sadly this is the only shoot em up for the DS.:confused :crying

Hope to see looooots more euro releases soon.

Looks nice. My reasons to get a DS are growing by the day.

Yeah I keep thinking about getting one, I do like a bit of gaming! Oohh! :agree

There is also:

... Rainbow Islands Revolutions

... Bubble Bobble Evolutions (see image)
... Dig Dug Digging Strike

;)

I've played Bubble Bobble Revolution. It has two modes, one an exact arcade port (emulation?) that only uses the bottom screen, and the updated version shown in DamienD's screenshot. The updated version plays like a PD game written in AMOS.

Exactly my thoughts. The remake is poor.

DS version of Settlers has been announced few weeks ago.

A new TURRICAN for the DS. Or a new Rick Dangerous. Man that would be awesome.:spin :spin :spin

or how about Turrican on the PSP?

Nintendo is going to battle superior hardware with more 'fun to play' games, they say (regarding Revolution). I think that's a good move. I've also heard from people at games studios that they will have freer licensing so that essentially anyone that buys the development kit are allowed to publish games (for the Revolution). They won't interfere with that at all, it's up to the developer to get a publisher and market the game. Let's hope this will be true for DS also.

Jocks and wannabe soldiers can have their PS3 and be bored witless by sports sims and wargames, and leave the really fun stuff for us. ;)

IMO those graphics are completely crap: how the hell could they make that cute little kiwi look so fat and sad?! :nuts
Best way to play TNZS these days is on a PSP, where the original arcade is packed into the Taito Memories Pocket umd -> http://www.the-magicbox.com/0512/game051214c.shtml :great

Wow. Among the classics it has Elevator Action, Rastan and Rainbow Island ;)

Pity I don't have a PSP :crying

Oh well, I can play them through MAME32 of course ;)

its a shame the arcade version of NZS is so different to the amiga one (which imho is the superior version).... but that compilation sounds interesting, so i think i might look into it!

hmm What arcade version are you playing?

Apparently Amiga version is based on the Japanese Arcade version.

ps: I live in New Zealand, TNZS has many flaws.

lol
