A Boy and His Blob, eh?

One of those old cult NES classics come back to life.

Darc RequiemMay 11, 2005

I wonder which Guilty Gear title is for DS. The DS actually has the advantage over the PSP IMO when it comes to 2D fighters. I love 2D fighters and can't stand load times. I hope Capcom realizes that the DS would be an excellent choice for a lot fo their old 2D fighters. SNK should move its GBA KoF titles to the DS as well as their other 2D series.

Darc, I'm sure it's Guilty Gear: Dust Strikers that's on the DS.

First we got Mr. Driller... then Puyo Pop...

now we're getting a Puzzle Bobble for the DS as well? Only 6 months since launch and already the DS is a puzzler's dream come true.

PortalOneTechMay 12, 2005

Boy and his Blob! I loved that game! I'm very curious about how the new one will turn out. Hopefully it'll be a little easier than the old one...I remember it being hard as hell, then again I was like 10 when it came out.
