DS Dragon's Lair makes a Daring choice

The laserdisc classic Dragon's Lair is back again, after appearances on basically every system ever built, either in its original form (PC, Sega CD, DVD, Blu-Ray, Game Boy Color) or in some kind of terrible adaptation (NES, SNES, PS2). This time, Digital Leisure is releasing it in more or less original form on the DS, with some ... interesting options.

Of particular interest is the ability to control the game via touch screen. We imagine this will involve tapping the appropriate side of the screen. There are also optional move indicators, voice control (?), rumble support, and multiple difficulty settings.

And then there's the big feature. You can choose to play the game on one screen, or stretched across both. This allows Dragon's Lair to benefit from the advanced view obstruction technology not available in the arcade version.

"...advanced view obstruction technology"

It'll revolutionize the industry, just like Moon Pies.

What a time to be alive.

That's pretty asinine.

I love Moon Pies, but I rarely see them anywhere, so I forget about them.

Now I have to go find one tomorrow. Thanks a whole, freakin' lot, Hirsbrunner.

Too bad they were beaten by (well sorta) the homebrew DSLair:

I say "sorta" because this version doesn't have all the extra features the commercial version will, and it was only the first four levels.
