Looks interesting, one that could make good use of the DS.

I was saying to KillerGorilla that Moonstone would be neat, with the beat-'em-up at the top and the map at the bottom.

Looks interesting, but I don't know what to expect from EA. Although i'm not aware which games EA Japan have been responsible in the past. Regardless, it would be awesome to have Populous on the DS with 4 player multiplayer, WIFI is doubtful seeing as a lot of great games come to DS without WIFI support.

I just wish EA didn't have their hands on some of the best games, i'd like to see decent ports of syndicate/magic carpet.

Syndicate could be good on the DS, actually.

Cool, nice to see the classics getting a welcome airing again.

And nice for them to credit the Amiga version as well

Afair EA Japan did Sim City DS before, but supposedly got disbanded afterwards...
