Nintendo Gaming / Where are the adventure games?
« on: December 01, 2004, 11:01:34 PM »
Sam and Max, Loom, the Monkey Island series, the Indiana Jones games, Day of the Tentacle would all be BAD-ASS with a stylus, on the DS.
Lucasarts is clearly asleep at the wheel. Or else they're too busy pimping crappy Star Wars #3023 to recognise the potential here.
Seriously though, these games would own on DS. I was hoping the DS would spark an adventure revival, why aren't Revolution getting into it with Broken Sword, or whoever owns the Psygnosis properties with Discworld?
Use the top screen for the dialogue and the bottom screen with the stylus for control and the main action. The microphone and the stylus could be utilised for some stunning puzzles. When Tim Schaefer is done with Psychonauts, he should blow our minds with a point and clicker for the 21st century.
This NEEDS to happen. It's nice to see Nintendo taking the lead with Another, it's just a shame to see no-one following.
