Digital Leisure has unveiled a Nintendo DS version of classic arcade and Laserdisc adventure Dragon's Lair, playable either on one screen or holding the DS like a book.

It should be out around the end of the year, a spokesperson told Eurogamer.

It'll be versatile in control terms too, allowing for d-pad and face buttons or touch-screen input, and there's even talk (ha) of voice recognition and rumble support.

In addition to the traditional Arcade mode, there's a Home mode too with additional sequences.

Originally released in the early '80s, Dragon Lair saw Dirk the Daring attempting to rescue Princess Daphne from an evil dragon in a wizard's castle. It had quite fancy animation for the time, largely thanks to the involvement of former Disney man Don Bluth.

It would be nice for a quick blast...
But I hope they fix the dodgy controls the original had...
(they were a bit too specific...)

You mean the controls for the original arcade game itself?

I thought Dragon's Lair, and other Laser Disc games, were awesome. The controls were perfect imo. I can't imagine that feel ever being recreated on another platform. Though I have contemplated buying an XArcade setup or the like to help get close. ;)
