Gaming Which games SHOULD be made on DS?

[bradigor]

I fully agree Super Smash Bros has to be done. It can at the very least use a tweaked Jump engine.

This is really easy:

1. Some sort of diablo clone. How amazing would it be to touch screen enemies with the map at the top screen? With WIFI multiplayer? Ok, i'm gonna change my pants now.

That's about all I need.

 

[Pigwooly]

Smash Bros.

Kid Icarus DS

The 3 original NES Ninja Gaiden games with updated 2d graphics. (or even better a new sidescrolling Ninja Gaiden)

An Alex Kidd game along the lines of Alex Kidd in Miracle World (all the other Alex Kidd games sucked.)

A sequel to Astro Boy: Omega Factor

Gunstar Heroes DS

Starcraft DS

Zelda Four Swords DS

Katamri Damacy

Crystalis DS

A new sidescrolling Contra game (Oh yeah it's coming out soon!)

A port of the ET game for Atari.

I do very much agree, but I'm stunned that we haven't seen any of these games yet. I guess dungeon explorer will be the first. That one is out soon, right?

 

[Nubia]

Counter-Strike Source !!!

 

[TaMs]

donkey kong country 4
diablo 3
maybe some new gex game.

Dungeon Explorer is a Feb 2008 release for Europe. That's a long time. I'm hoping that some homebrew developer realizes the ds potential for this type of genre and feels the need to start making one now. I'd be ecstatic for a 2d simplistic hack and slash game. The only things I really care about are:

Random Level Generation
Randomly generated swag and enemies
Skill trees or just even different paths you can develop as
Touch screen interface
Some Rogue-ish character with a ranged weapon

That's all I really want. Anything else would be icing.

Some ideas would be quests for townsfolk that offer rewards, Wifi cooperative play(but that might be difficult to make), some nice pixelated spell animation, and a choice of starting classes.

I can picture it now; pretty much controls like Phantom Hourglass with regard to movement and attacking. Hold L/R for your secondary attack like spells or throwing or something. Top screen is your map and vital statistics. Then all you really need is to push a direction or ABXY to bring up a touch based item menu that uses the diablo like grid system. Man, I gotta stop psyching myself up for nothing.

If I wasn't in Uni right now, I'd take the time to try and learn a gaming programing language. I'm pretty good at MATLAB algorithms and such but that won't give me a portable diablo. If any aspiring developers are reading this and are interested, I'll do as much as I can to help with anything but the programming.

On a completely different note, whats the best way to experience Civilization or a clone on the ds? Right now I'm using Civ for snes and Snemulds 0.6a and while it satisfies my urge, It just doesn't feel like a natural experience and seems real convoluted.

And on a TOTALLY different topic, for any of you that has play Dwarf Fortress for the pc, the next update should be released any day now. (Hasn't been updated since Jan). If you haven't heard of Dwarf Fortress, DON'T google it. Your life will be sucked away. It's not even a game man, it's an experience.

Chrono Trigger
Mother 3

A CT remake in 3D would be pure orgasm material, CT beats the crap out of any FF any day.

 

[Toufas]

most of the snes games

if they make an edit of chrono, they better include the original untouched....
same goes for metroid and ff and mario rpg

 

[Remy669]

-Chrono Trigger
-Super Mario RPG

Those 2 just have to be released on the DS. And then in the graphics of Final Fantasy 3 on the DS.

 

[HyoImowano]

Why does everyone want Ocarina on every system? That game has already gotten 4 releases, plus Master Quest, we really DON'T need another one. We also don't need another RPG.

I agree with everyone who has said either Street Fighter or Capcom vs. SNK, preferably the latter. Alpha 3 came out for GBA, we FINALLY have six buttons on a handheld, and where is Ryu? Off dilly dallying in some card battle crap :'(

 

[azn_225]

diablo (3)
and starcraft

 

[LSSR]

maybe command and conquor or sonic adventure 1

 

[thomaspajamas]

smash bros

and

mario paint

 

[Issac]

Kings quest 6....
and, hmm.. I had something in mind... what was it now...
oh yeh!
X-COM Ufo Defence!

 

[Urza]

Smash Bros will be terrible with a d-pad.

Common fucking sense.

 

[kedest]

Settlers of Catan with the expansion packs would be awesome. With Wifi of course.

 

[maurerdj]

1. Culdcept Saga
2. Culdcept Saga
3. Culdcept Saga
4. Did a I mention, I would love to see a port portable version of culdcept?

 

[Xuio]

- New Metroid 2d
- Final Fantasy 7
