Nintendo 3DS Gets Covered in Myst

Following the release of Myst DS back in 2007, Hoplite Research had hoped to bring more of the Myst world to the portable scene. However, considering publisher Midway took a turn for the worse, plans did not pan out quite as smoothly as imagined.

Now, though, the team is back with Maximum Family Games in tow for what will hopefully be a more faithful port of the classic abstract puzzle adventure (the DS game had issues due to cartridge size restrictions). The 3DS version contains all the same content from the 1993 original, however it now includes 3D support. Development is being handled by Hoplite Research, LLC.

Myst is expected to be a big hit with Nintendo 3DS players. It takes everything we all know and love about the Myst series and gives it a 3D facelift. The original Myst for PC systems was a groundbreaking game that brought the fantasy-adventure genre to mainstream casual gaming. The new Myst honours that history by reintroducing this well-known franchise to younger generations.

Myst for 3DS is due out on 27th March, 2012 in the US, whilst pqube is handling the European edition at a so far unspecified date.
