Majesco releases early version of Eco-Creatures as DS download

[wraggster]

With a healthy collection of casual DS favorites to its credit, the once financially gridlocked publisher Majesco has much thanks to lay at the feet of Nintendo's touchable portable. Now the company has announced that it plans to give players an early taste of its latest project, a tree-hugging RTS for the DS, by releasing a demo for Eco-Creatures: Save the Forest over nearly 10,000 Nintendo DS Download Stations across the U.S.

It's unclear how much of the game will be included in the demo, or if in fact this move will save any trees at all. What we do know, however, is that the download will be available from now until sometime in May – well beyond the game's expected March 4 release -- giving those of you with access to a station plenty of time to warm up to Majesco's green-minded ways.

Didn't Majesco stop making games after Psychonauts?

After reading that piece of news... I kinda wish they did.

An RTS is an RTS, man. Don't bash it 'til you've played it.

I was under the impression that Majesco was simply a publisher/distributer. This does look interesting though. I wonder if any download stations are near me...
