And there is a few million DS out there so it shouldnt be hard to sell that many.

The impossible force of the DS hard at work

How imaginative! Another adventure of a green goblin trying to save a dimwitted princess who keeps flirting a big monster dinosaur.
Link, wake up! Zelda hasn't been abducted by the villain. She left you for someone with bigger muscles.

I live in japan!

Gaming really is for EVERYONE here.
Not because the japanese are so into games.
Only because nobody talks to eachother in public or shows any signs of individuality, so they escape into their cell phones and ds lite's which must all be silent in public places anyway.

So yes, most of the country has a DS, and yes, everything will go apecrazy over zelda because, yes. :amazing

My kid yesterday proclaimed he liked the DS more than the Switch because the controls work on the go. Then I asked if he would rather have Monster Hunter Stories 2 on Steam or Switch and he chose Steam. So proud!

Probably an emulated port or something as low effort

It would need to be completely redone if it is coming to the Switch. Those touch controls would make it impossible in docked mode.

phoenixwing1189d ago

Who says nintendo has to go to the trouble of making it playable docked. Could just tell everyone to play handheld. They're nintendo after all. I've seen ppl defend nintendo for less so don't say it couldn't happen lol

A port would be a lot better than using the awful stylus movement on DS, be cool if they did the same for spirit tracks.
