After landing on the PS3, the Dragon’s Lair will now hit Nintendo’s handheld console. The adventure game is all set to hit the Nintendo DS. The game is about a courageous knight, who is on an expedition to save the fair princess from the clutches of an evil dragon.
Here are the features of the Nintendo DS version of Dragon’s Lair:
Dual Screen (book-style) full-screen action
Single Screen (top-down) full-screen action
D-Pad & Touch screen support (in both Dual Screen & Single Screen modes)
Voice Recognition
Rumble Pak Support
Arcade & Home modes: This feature allows you to switch between the Arcade and Home versions of the game (Arcade default). The differences between the two are that the latter includes the additional sequences that were not in the original Arcade game
Game Statistics: Displays your lives and overall score
Lives: Choose between unlimited, standard 5 lives or sudden death single life mode
Difficulty: Easy or Hard. The Hard option complicates things by adding additional moves in certain sequences and mixes up the scenes for less linear stage progression. Timing of moves is also affected – achieve higher scores
Visual Move Guide On/Off: Toggle this option on to bring up a visual clue that shows whether you entered the right move or not. A red circle means you entered the wrong move or your timing is off, a green one lets you know you did it right
Watch mode (learning mode – video mode): All game scenes without deaths – all game scenes with deaths scenes, in addition to an option where the player can choose to watch a specific scene
Dragon’s Lair for the Nintendo DS will be published by Digital Leisure. However there is no information about the release date. Though, it would have been great if they would bring the game to the Nintendo Wii and the Sony PSP.
