Today, we had a conversation with 3 former Westwood employees. They work for EA now. So, lets start from the beginning. We wanted to know if there was any Command & Conquer game in development for the Nintendo DS. So we contacted EA etc., and finally we came in contact with these 3 employees. You know how it goes
So, we first asked them if they know anything about a Command & Conquer game for the Nintendo DS. They told us they know its in development. After that, we asked them how they know this. We were told that they were also busy developing this game, with a large team. The team only has former Westwood developers in it, so the game will very much be like the old C&Cs how we know them from history. They think the game will be ready in 2006. Its not announced yet, because Nintendo wants it to be a surprise. They think the game will be announced by the end of this year. As soon as the Nintendo DS was announced by Nintendo, the former Westwood employees had plans to develop a C&C game on the system. They think the system is perfectly suited for such type of games. The game will take advantage of the touch screen and the built in microphone of the DS. Also it will use the Nintendo WiFi Connection, so that means the game will be online! Thats really great news. Command & Conquer: DS, its development name, will have many great features: We tried to grab all the best parts of every C&C game together and put it in this game. Youll also have a improved map-editor and many more, which is still a little surprise, he said. The last thing we can say is that we are really looking forward to this, we hope so, fantastic game, and that it will write history in the time-line of C&C games. We also think its really great to hear that is will be a classic C&C game again. That can only be good news! And also the best news is that it will go online so you can play all over the world against anybody in the world!
