Producer spills his guts on Dynasty Warriors DS

Yoshihiro Kishimoto, producer of Dynasty Warriors DS: Fighters Battle, conducted an interview recently with Pocket Gamer. He describes the challenges in fitting the game onto the DS, and talks about the decision to go with buttons rather than make use of the stylus. We think carving through hordes of enemies at a time with the stylus would have been pretty entertaining, but maybe that's just us.

The screens and video that we've seen so far of Fighter's Battle haven't exactly inspired us to go on a crazed rampage of sword wielding destruction, but we remain ever hopeful that this will change once we get the US version into our blood-soaked hands.

A long look at Dynasty Warriors DS

Well, this video is better than the screenshots, at least, but are we alone in seeing that seizure-inducing ripple effect? At least it mostly fades once you get off the wooden flooring and out onto the grass and dirt. But maybe Dynasty Warriors DS is right up your alley. Watch the video, judge for yourself, and let us know.

Romance of the Three Accessories

Happy News about Games Related to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms Day! So far, it's been a solemn event that we've observed respectfully, thinking about how ugly DS games affect us all. But we've got marginally better news for you, so don't take down your traditional NGRRTK Day decorations. Hori have released some relatively nice DS accessories in a black-and-gold color scheme to tie into the release of Sega's new card-based arcade adaptation Sangokushi Taisen DS, including a stand, a DS card case, and a stylus. Sure, they're not totally new items-- the stand looks to be the same design as the one reviewed by CheapyD, but they're black, with goooooolden eeeeemblems on them.

We like the blackness of this set, but we aren't sure about advertising any affiliation with Sangokushi Taisen DS or any other arcade-fad card games. Also, we like to keep our DS systems in our gentle, loving hands while we play, not relegated to a cold, unfeeling stand. It's a DS-fan thing; we have a very positive opinion on the concept of touching.

[Update 1: fairly major; this set is NOT a tie-in to Shin Sangoku Musou DS, but to a VERY SIMILAR-LOOKING Sega card-battling game Sangokushi Taisen DS that also uses the classic Three Kingdoms story as its setting.]

Dynasty Warriors DS Screens (horrifying 3D ahead)

Koei, ever the masters of careful, deliberate game design, have been judicious with their Shin Sangoku Musou (Dynasty Warriors) series, taking care not to saturate the market with incrementally-upgraded sequels and spinoffs, and sequels of spinoffs, that serve only to extract as much cash as possible from fans.

Oh, wait, we were thinking of someone else. That is exactly what Koei does. Their most egregious cash-in: this new Dynasty Warriors DS. Dynasty Warriors games aren't exactly renowned for their graphics, but this... is an insult to fans of the series. If we are being a little harsh on Koei, it's because every game they release that is not a Gitaroo-Man sequel (on the DS this time, please!) is like a jaggy little polearm poking us ceaselessly.

Note to developers: when you're thinking of making a DS game (and we've all been there, right?) please ask yourself if it really needs to be in 3D. If the answer is "yes," then ask yourself if it really needs to be on the DS. We love our little system (hence the title, focus and content of this site) but 3D can be a hit and miss affair.

"Enjoy" some screens after the post break! Oh, did we mention that there's some kind of inscrutable card system tacked on for some reason?
