Games you want to see on a handheld

[Jeff The Ninja]

For me, it would be Duke Nukem 3D. It would be the perfect FPS for a handheld. Its fast, fun and the levels are short enough.

[Esuohlim]

Earthbound

[Mockery]

The Secret of Monkey Island on the Nintendo DS. The split screen would be perfect for inventory and the pen would work great for getting around in the game.

Super Smash Bros. is the only one I can think of that HASN'T been done. And isn't that on the way?

Final Fantasy Tactics? PSP re-make will rule, the GBA is weak. People only gave it high ratings because it was tactics on the handheld.

StarFox? Done. Thankfully better than all the other StarFox games now.

Mario Kart? Done right.

Castlevania? Done.

Resident Evil? Done (Though not in a good way.)

DooM? Done.

Twisted Metal? Done.

Shitty Godzilla fighter made by Atari? Done.

Earthbound? Done twice...in Japan.

When you really think about it...every series has some handheld companion.

Well that's all well and good for Japan but here in God's country I want to be able to fight Master Barf in the checkout line of my grocery store

[the_dudefather]

theme hospital, which I prefer to theme park
dungeon keeper

[Fathom Zero]

Oblivion... oh wait. :rollseyes

But a good Goldeneye game, a port of it, a spiritual sequal even, would be awesome so long as it's in the same vein as the original. Do-able by today's hardware.

Any PC first person shooter can work on the DS. The Stylus is a good replacement for the mouse (besides my hand cramping up while playing Metroid Prime Hunters). But with the DS becomming the newest system on which all the old school sequels and remakes are coming out for, i am hoping for a New Double Dragon game. Its the perfect time for it. They could put in more moves, more weapons, and more violence against hookers weilding whips.

[Esuohlim]

The thing I don't like about the DS is that, because of the stylus, you can never just lay down somewhere and play. I always have to set it on a table and sit in front of it if I'm playing for more than 10 minutes

Earthbound should have gone to the GBA anyway

[ArrowX]

Joe and Mac

and X-Com game on the DS

[Guitar Woman]

The Longest Journey, although I know that will never ever happen ever

[Perndog]

Gyromite.

[ArrowX]

General Chaos

and I'm surprised nobody said EVO: Search for Eden

My wrist cramps up every time

[zeldasbiggestfan]

Prehistoric Man. Goddamnit that would rule if it was one the GBA and if they didn't mess with ANYTHING.

Its not that bad man. Just play through it. I spent a couple of hours playng Metroid Prime on the DS using the stylus and now its the only way i can play the game. Its like analog sticks when FPS games started to use them. It feels weird now and your hand cramps up, but after a while you feel comfortable with it.


I would love to see Crusader No Mercy and Crusader No Remorse come to the DS. Imagine the Possibilities.

[Esuohlim]

I just bought Puzzle Quest about a week ago and it's the only game I have that uses the stylus exclusively. And it's pretty addictive so I'm playing for hours at a time, but yeah you're sort of right. I starting to not really notice anymore.

Puzzle Quest is an awesome game by the way, everyone should get it

[Perndog]

You probably don't notice anymore because your nerves have been completely worn out and gone numb, and carpal tunnel syndrome is right around the corner.

[timrpgland]

For me, it would be Duke Nukem 3D. It would be the perfect FPS for a handheld. Its fast, fun and the levels are short enough.

Duke Nukem Advance is awesome at least...

[Dr. V]

I'd like to see a port of a 'Craft game on DS. Like maybe WC 1 and 2 with expansions. Or even Diablo.

Funny you bring that up Choj... I have the R4DS unit arriving in the mail tomorrow. I ordered it last week specifically so I can put ScummVM on my DS to play Monkey Island and other classic LucasArts adventure games.

[Fathom Zero]

Wierd. I was really planning on getting one, but I forgot about it.
