Three awesome-looking Gameloft mobile titles that would be great for DSiWare
In its third quarter financial results released yesterday, mobile games company Gameloft mentioned an interest in releasing titles for the Nintendo DSi’s downloadable games shop, which I’m pretty pumped about!
For those of you unfamiliar with Gameloft, the studio develops and publishes a wide variety of mostly mobile games, from casual titles to releases based on popular video game and media licenses.
Though mobile games have a reputation of, well, sucking, Gameloft’s library has several titles that I’d love to see on DSiWare. Keep in mind that I haven’t actually played them, so I’m not sure if they’re any good, hence why I describe them as awesome looking.
1. The Oregon Trail
Don’t even front; this shit looks all the way live. I sent these screens to JC a while back, and he complained, “These graphics are wasted on mobile titles.”
2. Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six Vegas
I don’t think these screens really represent the bulk of this mobile title’s gameplay, but they remind me of my favorite tactical shooter, Kemco’s Rescue: The Embassy Mission for NES (here’s my experience with the game as a kid).
3. Brothers In Arms: Art of War
And this looks like a more detailed sequel to my favorite WWII game, Medal of Honor: Infiltrator for GBA. This is what all WWII games on the DS should look like!
Unfortunately, I doubt any of these will ever appear on DSiWare. Looking at what Gameloft has ported to the iPhone, N-Gage, and WiiWare, we’ll probably get titles like Block Breaker Deluxe, Midnight Pool, and Diamond Twister instead. At least I got to talk about Rescue: The Embassy Mission and MOH: Infiltrator.
