Starcraft On The Nintendo DS

Written by Neil Galloway

Unbelievable!

This the game I would love to see come to the Nintendo DS. StarCraft is one of my favorite real time strategy (RTS) games of all time. There were rumours of it coming to the DS, but is has never been announced by Blizzard and I can't imagine them doing it now.

Anyhow, a group of guys did a "proof of concept" for the game. I downloaded it from the StarLite download page. Unfortunately, they have already been shut down by Blizzard I have heard, so this will be as far as it goes I suppose.

Watch the video, this is how the downloadable version plays exactly.

Hello, nice site. When you say you can't imagine Blizzard making Starcraft for the DS now, do you think the DS lifetime is nearing an end, or just can't see them making it with everything else going on?

I can't see them making it because the game has aged a bit and the market for the DS isn't exactly huge. There is a lot of piracy with the owners because it is so simple. Unless they came up with a dual slot solution to prevent piracy, I doubt a lot of people would actually buy it.
