Starcraft to come to DS?
July 20th 2006 11:13
Of course, the article's entitled "Diablo on your handheld", but that's not nearly as enticing.
Blizzard recently sent out a newsletter to its loyal devotees, asking their opinions on a port of Diablo II to the DS and PSP, and the possibility of Starcraft on DS as well. Both D2 and Starcraft are still hugely popular (check out the stats on battle.net!) 5 years on, so you can imagine there'd be quite some interest in a new port of these games.
"Blizzard ask readers if they would buy a PSP or DS version of Diablo II if a wireless enabled multiplayer mode was included.
Rumours that a handheld port of Blizzard's Diablo II is in the works have emerged after Blizzard sent out a newsletter asking readers if they would consider buying a Sony PSP or Nintendo DS version of if Diablo II featuring wireless multiplayer. In the same news letter Blizzard asked readers if they would buy a DS version of the classic RTS game Starcraft.
Blizzard has not confirmed anything as yet, but are definitely testing the waters for possible releases on the console formats. We will bring you more on this when we get it."
I personally think Starcraft would better suit the touchscreen capabilities of the DS, where Diablo could be controlled majorly with buttons. Still, it's not as if I'm complaining. I'd love any new Blizzard game that came out
Read the snippet and the accompanying comments here.
Actually, upon reading the comments, maybe it isn't worth going there.
"I think that d2 will be beter on the psp because it has beter controlls than the ds and the psp and thay can make a biger map an I think more people will buy it."
Eep.
