Dark Void hits dsi ware

[shito]

Capcom's Dark Void won't just be appearing on the 360, PC and PS3; no, it'll also be appearing on...the Nintendo DSi.

In a marketing move for the main title, Capcom will be releasing Dark Void: Zero, an 8-bit interpretation of the game similar to the recent Mega Man 9 "demake".

It'll hit the DSi Shop in January, and should cost 500 Points.

8-bit looking is awesome.

What was Dark Void?
Was it that game where you where placed in another dimension?
I wanted to get that game for the Xbox 360.
Hell, if somebody can hack DSi Ware and make it possible to install via internet download outside of the shop channel then hell, I'll get the 8-bit demake. I wonder if it will have 8-bit chiptunes and SFX used in the game as well?
Also, how is this game going to use the touch screen? Will it make it seem like one big screen out of the two? Is there going to be a map at the top of bottom of the screen? Status? Weapons? Etc!?
God help me if there are any gimmicks in this game. I hate gimmick controls, DIDDY KONG RACING DS! YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DID DKRDS!

Saw this a few days and its maybe one of those games that MAY make me want a DSi...eventually if there is no other way to play these titles.

I can see people moving the more so called "core" games to DSiWare rather then have the hassle of having to find publishers or worry about stores stocking the games.

Shantae: Risky's Revenge & Alien Havoc are others that I like the look of.

It would also be brilliant if Mega Man 9 and 10 would be released on the DSi. It will be interesting to see how they do this though as they do not have an 8-bit version of their game to base it off like Mega Man.

Or do I want rayman more?

i dont think a dsiware can MAKE u buy a game cuz u can get it otherwise... its strange though, most of these games are wiiware but good to see a change

Look at the top-left corner... "Ultra-resolution graphics"!

This looks really good...

Stupid question, but can DSIware titles be played on regular old DSs' as backups?

Nope not at all, which means no DSiWare for you.

Luckily this is coming to the PC so I can play it on that instead. Fuck you Nintendo for not making a way to let us who supported the DS from the start to play these.

Whats truly sad is that this spin-off will likely be better than its console counterpart. Which looks to be happening on two levels: A) this looks like an exceptional retro redux, and B) the actual Dark Void is all around mediocre.

It doesn't exist
