Broken Sword Repaired For DS And Wii?
So apparently there's some indication that Ubisoft is going to release the classic adventure game Broken Sword for the Nintendo DS and the Wii. Now, I played this game when they ported the PC original onto the GBA of all places (hey, I was as surprised it worked as anybody), so I'm sure the DS will be no trouble at all. In fact, the touch screen controls will be much more adaptable for an adventure game. Same with the point-and-click controls of the Wii.
My confusion is that this would seem to be yet another port. Something the DS doesn't really need, and the Wii certainly does not need. I'm a huge adventure game fan, and I would love to play an adventure that's of the quality of the original Broken Sword... without actually playing Broken Sword again. If it absolutely has to be a port, I'd rather see them develop one of the sequels, preferably the fourth one, which only came out on PC (which I don't have). But as I really enjoyed the original Broken Sword, I'd love it if the same development team could focus their talents on bringing us an all-new adventure of that level of quality, not another "Director's Cut."
