This story came and went in a puff of smoke on many sites -- maybe for clarification? -- but GoNintendo still has the information up, and since it is so very exciting, we felt we had to share. Move over, Sim City ... Populous is headed to the DS! For those not familiar with the title in one of its many previous incarnations, Populous places players in the role of a god with a single human follower, and from there, you're charged to build an entire civilization. But you're not alone -- and the DS version is set to capitalize on that aspect with a four-person multiplayer mode. Between the handheld's portability and touchscreen functionality, we're very much excited about this latest news!1UP still has the title listed, but their short preview seems to be down. Little information is available at this time, but we'll keep an ear to the ground for anything that develops.

Love love LOVE Populous. First experience was on the SNES, but also bought and enjoyed Populous on the PC and the Popul-esque Black & White by the same producer. If they develop it properly (ie, unlike Sim City DS) I'll be buying.

Neat! Populous is a fantastic game, and I've always thought it was a shame that it the sequels were never really up to snuff. There's been a handful of "God games" over the years, but the SNES version of Populous was the peak. I hope the DS version finally delivers.
