Title: Settlers DS
Post by: matt5cott on October 06, 2006, 09:11:57 AM
Well I might be the only one who simply cannot wait for this release, however from the screen shots, it would appear they are quite easily able to convert old school classic 2d games onto the DS.

Hell if they can do the settlers (if its as good as the screenies look) then theoretically they could do C&C games...

but which one is it..... ?

settlers 1 and 2 rocked, the rest were terrible :(

the re-released settlers 2 as "settlers 2 10th anaversory" or something like that... they made it 3D and its bloody terrible too :(

Yep tahts what I was just thinking... I keep putting off getting one becuase I know i wont really use it. I think the thing that is going to push me over the edge and make me get one is when then Wii is out and they show off the DS & Wii doing funky stuff together :)

Has anyone got Yoshi Island DS?  I loved it on the SNES.  Best platform game ever imo.  And I hate platform games.

Theme Hospital was great.

No, it was excruciating. No where near as good as Settlers II which took away days of my life per gaming session. :bowdown:
