Nintendo DS Media | Various LGC Videos: Heroes of Mana, Simpsons, EA Playground [news]

I don't know if it's just me but the cel-shading quality of the Simpsons game looks absolutely fantastic for the DS. Maybe it's just the video quality, eh.

Actually thought the same thing when I watched it. I want to see more!

The Simpsons game looks pretty darn awesome, I agree! Lurvey shading!

Orcs and Elves looks hilarious!

Heroes of Mana doesn't look too bad either, from what we can see..

Hehe, you're right, Orcs and Elves really does look hilariously bad.

Can't see the graphics very well (and there wasn't any sound for any of the videos I watched), but game play appears to be a turn based dungeon crawler RPG.

It reminds me a great deal of old Wizardry/Bard's Tale/Might and Magic games.

As someone that spent a lot of time playing (and finishing ) many of those games in my youth, I might actually enjoy this game if it's done well (i.e., decent graphics, decent sound, good puzzles, good balance).

I hope there is some kind of auto-mapping system though.

In my youth I had time to actually draw maps (my friends and I usually played these games together, taking turns "driving" and "mapping"), but there's no way I'd be willing to keep some kind of paper map for a game on the DS...if I can't just jump in and play for 30 minutes at a time where-ever I happen to be, it's a non-starter.

That Simpsons game does indeed look very sweet, I hope it's a good game. I like the look of FIFA also, looks better than the Pro Evo on DS currently, certainly more detailed and smoother. Orc's and Elves is crap, this is a conversion of the mobile game, when they showed the game people laughed it was so bad.{LS]
