Ubisoft unveils Prince of Persia: The Fallen King for DS

They're only doing it to make money. They're not doing it to please you.

This game was not designed for 'next-gen' consoles. It was designed for the DS.

I think Zelda was a pretty good transfer to the DS.

Zelda's not next gen.

You're not next-gen

snap

I never asked them to please me - hell, I'll get plenty of pleasure from the 360 POP.

I just think that it's in bad taste to milk a decent franchise so voraciously.

Sorry Timmy but your prince of persia got Aids and sadly it must die.

Here end his sad life with this shotgun.

Be a man Jimmy and kill chibi prince or what we used to call the prince of persia.

@ Mr.ESC

Too much Wonder Showzen for you! :P (I LOVE that show) ;__;

Mega Man: Powered Up is easily my favorite PSP game, so gritty and in-your-face.

I'm a PSP owner and I disagree.

Ds games are great but as a POP fan this is an insult. I hate what Ubisoft is doing; they are killing the original POP (Not the franchise) in order to bring a more wapanese Prince of Persia. Hell the Emo POP was weird but we learn to accept but this chibi POP is just plain bad.

I remember the first POP games: Plain hard with explicit deaths (F*ck even for a 2D game the deaths in POP were traumatic), all about skill and memorization (Unless you cheated).

F*ck ubisoft,f*ck them.Seriously why the couldn’t use AC engine for the new POP? why he had to be wapanese? In a second thought why he had to be Emo in POP:R?.

Tell me about it. I love the *idea* of the DS. I think it's a much more interesting platform than the PSP. But don't even try to defend Nintendo's platforms as "not kiddy" as long as this shit is still going on. This is practically a parody -- right up there with http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2007/11/5/the-littlest-hashshashin/

Exactly the same thing happens on the Wii: we get the dumbed-down, cutesy-filtered versions of what's released on the real consoles. I want to love Nintendo's platforms. They just make it very hard.

"Dick Sizzle"

Mature rated games for mature gamers such as yourself!

btw...theres only 4. Dementium is the only one that looks remotely good.

Only 4 in English.

Prince of Persia 3D

I loved every POP game even emo prince issues didn’t stop me but these graphics don’t’ go with Prince of Persia at all. It feels like Ubisoft is copying some Japanese game or something killing Prince of Persia style. Sure changing the style every now and then is cool but when they copy other game style (*cough Legend of Zelda *cough) it loses part of itself.

You know isn't the graphics but the fact that knowing most Ubisoft DS games is either going to suck or be incredibly easy.

I mean “Megaman Powered!” up compensated the sugar overdose with a can of whoop ass and cheap deaths.

I just popped in to say.. Freakazoid!

He turns into a Freakazoid, is strong and super quick
He drives the villains crazy, 'cos he's a lunatic!

I have to agree with Sheppy here -- I think this game looks like it could be pretty fun. And I *like* the cute art style. I'll have the console version to fall back on if I want something tougher.

(At least it's not developed by Gameloft.)

Who the hell thinks you're a Nintendo hater?

Again:

Ubisoft fault, your hate most be directed to ubisoft. Nintendo didn't make those games they just licensed them.

Is not Nintendo's fault they license those games, I mean they got a truck of money and they aren't made of stone.

For the last time it is their fault because everything runs through them and they don't care enough to say "Uhhh..no". They WANT this shitty family friendly image and that's why 99% of wii/ds games are kiddy looking.

But that's one of these vicious circles and that makes me angry. When a game gets into making and they want to license to Nintendo someone at Big-N looks at that stuff. They should know that shedding their baby-gamer image is key to succeed in future generations. Right now the Wii has an advantage because the control scheme is really new. Everything else about the console (hardware) is worn out and half-assed. Then the Big-N product management guy goes "Hey look a new chibi style game based on something that could REALLY be successful, let's shell that out to kids that wanna feel good playing the little brother of what real consoles get to play". And then Ubisoft goes "hey, they want it. Let's make that game and then keep pushing into this direction since it seems to work.". Then some people actually buy this because they are bored out of their minds or have to ride trains for hours at hand. They figures look like people respond well, Nintendo gains profit, Ubisoft satisfies shareholders and we're stuck with shitty candy games that everybody seems to think are a brilliant idea. Except for the people that would "like to" buy some challenging titles for their mobile system but can't because there is only that hideous Pokémon crap around.

That pisses me off ... and I don't even own a DS.

Its been almost two years. Using the "The wii is only doing well because its control scheme is new" shtick doesn't work. The general public really does eat this watered down chibi art stle shit up, and they probably always will. Theres just no other excuse for Date Movie, Epic Movie, AND Meet The Spartans to all be the #1 movie in America at some point other than the masses being huge idiots.

Trust me, parents will look at this and buy it for their tykes in droves. "This looks just like that show little Timmy watches! He'll probably like it!"

Earth to gamers:

No company will ever refuse money.

sup I just took a look at all of the comments but this what I think Zelda a grate game every one loved it Zelda wind waker ed peopleoff but they still loved it and now the cartoon Link is making tonsand people want more. Prince of persia grate game every one loved itPrince of persia the fallen king art sucks but the game is still goingto be fun and make tons and every one is going to want more. connectthe dots 85% of you with a DS are going to get the game regardless of the art work

But omg it's anime cutesy it can't be a hardcore game! Just because it's probably the toughest RPG game I've ever played doesn't mean it's hardcore! It's not bloody enough! Bitch bitch bitch bitch etc.
