Latest Nintendo Power confirms Brothers in Arms coming to DS

Jeux-France got ahold of the latest issue of Nintendo Power, which confirms that Brothers in Arms is headed to the DS. We couldn't be happier, as the Brothers in Arms franchise is one of the very few WWII-based series of games left that are worth playing. The images of the game (which have been embedded past the post break) are of very low quality, so we cannot discern whether the graphics are something to be excited about or not.

We can confirm, however, that the game is to feature 3 different campaigns, spanning 16 missions and several of the countries involved in the war. The touch-screen will be used for switching weapons, tossing grenades (player must draw a line for trajectory) and aiming at enemies. The top screen is obviously going to be used to present the action.

No word on whether this title is to be Wi-Fi Connect compatible or not.

Remind me again who develops the BiA series? FPS are quite possible on the DS, as MP:H, MP:H:First Hunt, and Bionicles Heroes proved, but are also capable of being crap (Goldeneye DS is a great example...).

Didn't someone confirm a Brothers in Arms on the DS a while back, though?

In any event, if this is done well, maybe more developers will take the time to learn the system and make games that appeal to gamers. And maybe I'll win the lotto tomorrow. ^_^;

i would love to have a good WWII fps on the DS, assuming the game takes full advantage of graphics capabilities, and allows you to see more than 5ft in front of you(king kong anyone?) this reminds me that i need to find the xbox version of the game.

Oh, forgot about King Kong DS... Add that to the bad FPS DS game list...
