Dragon's Lair coming to DS

by John Bardinelli { Jun 28th 2007 at 10:30AM }

Released on Blu-ray just a few weeks ago, a DS incarnation of the classic arcade/Laserdisc adventure Dragon's Lair has been announced by Digital Leisure. At first we thought the two would go together as well as peanuts and bubblegum, but after reading what developer Wizardry Engineering is doing to make the game fit the system, we might have to reconsider.

Dragon's Lair DS will be playable on one screen or split across two, holding the DS like a book. Touch screen control will be implemented, and there's even talk of voice recognition (blue ... BLUE!!!) and rumble pak support. Hey, if it worked on Game Boy Color, it should go over fine on the DS.

Splitting accross two screens with about 1" of plastic in the middle doesn't really work. That's like taking a 27" TV and putting one of those big cardboard tubes that wrapping paper comes on down the center of it.

Annoying.

I'm glad they gave the option.

Man that looks pretty bad with that bar in the middle. It seems like it would make it hard to time that level with the rolling balls!

Why hasn't Digital Lesiure bought the rights to pretty much every laser disc game, ever made, and release a compolation on the regular consoles?

I'd buy that in a heartbeat! I'd kill to play some Cliff Hanger!!

$35 for a mildly-interactive Don Bluth cartoon?

I'll pass, thank you.

$14.99 and you've got a deal.

Even if they ruin it with all these special features, at least they're all optional.

I do agree that it should be less than $25. $19.99 wouldn't be bad.

The GBC version of the game was... well, it was bad, but it was pretty impressive for a GBC game. Yes, I bought it. Foolishly.

This looks to be better, due to the fact that the DS can actually play videos. That helps.
