Settlers announced for DS

DS News | Tiny serfs to emigrate from PC to DS.
Ubisoft has announced that the classic medieval simulation The Settlers is going to be coming to the DS, according to jeux-france.com. The Settlers was a real time strategy title originally released for the Amiga and PC in 1993. The look of the new DS release is very similar to the game's 1997 sequel.

The original game had the player controlling a population of, you guessed it, settlers populating a new land. Similar to other games in its genre, players had to set their population to work, mining, farming, conquering new land and defending the population from enemies.

Ralph Wirsing, the director of Blue Byte Studios, the game’s developers, states that the game adapts marvelously well to the design features of the DS. By using both screens, players will apparently be able to easily manage their resources and observe what's occuring on the ground.

Reports state that the game will be released towards the end of 2006 in Asia and Europe.

I smiled when I read the headline for this article. Then I read the article and I smiled some more. Now as I post this, I'm smiling. Gee, I wonder why.

And Settlers 2 was probably the best in the series. Gee I'm feeling a tad jealous of you DS owners at the moment!

I'm a big fan of the early settlers games. Had good times on the first two, glad to see it coming to the DS! If they include multi-player and WiFi it could be solid.

My favourite thing was sending out dudes to survey for minerals. icon_smile.gif
