Potentially incorrect online retailer listing news now, as GameStop has put up a page for a MechAssault game on the DS. Apparently, MechAssault: Shadow War will be released by Majesco this coming May. Now, there's at least a vaguely believable element here, as Majesco is also publishing a portable version one of Microsoft's other big franchises, Age of Empires, on the DS.Naturally, we're drawn to any game that features gigantic robots wreaking havoc, so we'd be quite pleased to see this one adapted to a stylus driven blast-a-thon in the vein of Metroid Prime: Hunters. But then again, Majesco may just decide to go with recent silly trends and make it a tactical card battle game instead.

1. Using the stylus to lay a wave of machine gun spray or tapping your mech's feet to make it blast into the air with it's foot-mounted jets, or, better yet, circling an enemy for a missile lock? Sign me up, the touch screen could be utilized in interesting ways.
