Dragon’s Lair DS coming for Nintendo’s portable with unique features and touch-screen support
The oft-ported Dragon’s Lair is now coming to the DS with the eloquently named Dragon’s Lair DS. However this version has some unique features that might make it worth more than a passing look. And maybe even a buy for those who never got to play Dragon’s Lair or one of it’s many versions.
In addition to featuring touch-screen support (which would be expected for a DS version) you can also play it in a “book-style” mode (like Brain Age or Hotel Dusk) where the picture extends over both screens, or you can play it in single-screen mode. It will also feature support for both the mic and the Rumble Pak accessory, which are always nice to have.
You can play it in either Home or Arcade modes, with arcade being the original version and Home having the additional scenes that were added to later versions. You can toggle how many lives you want to have (5, unlimited or sudden death single life mode) and there will be statistics that keep track of your score. You can also toggle visual clues on or off (these let you know if you’re making the right moves), and lastly, there will be a Watch Mode. In this you can choose to either watch all the scenes with or without deaths or you can choose to watch a specific scene itself.
No release date on the game yet but I’d expect it’ll be released soon, probably before Christmas. –pic via Kotaku
