Ah, who would’ve thought that bringing the touch function to the handheld platform would’ve spawned new genres of gameplay as well as breathing new life into old classics?
Check out the SimCity DS screen on the right - everything is in Japanese, but according to Google’s translation, SimCity DS will be based on the PC version of SimCity 3000. It won’t be a standard port, but will come across as a complete remake from ground up in order to take advantage of certain features that are exclusive only to the DS.
There will be many references made to Japan in terms of the landscape and buildings, so all your Manga-heads will probably be drooling in anticipation by now.
Will the release of SimCity DS bring a totally new gameplay experience compared to Palm/PDA/PPC versions? Only time will tell, but the graphics look delicious :)
