Boosty from Daily Joystick writes; "The Nintendo DS was one of the handhelds that I purchased on launch day and it's pretty much taken a back seat over the years due to my new found love with both the Xbox and Xbox 360. But, there's always a time where I need to travel for work or go on a holiday and I need some form of gaming to preoccupy my mind. That's when my DS gets its play time, and how fortunate I was this year to have the Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks on hand for my journey.
The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks follows the time line of the other Zelda titles and is set over 100 years after the events of the Phantom Hourglass. In terms of similarities, the little pirate from the first game is now of course a very old man who lives in town with Link just outside Hyrule castle. There is also Linebacks descendants who looks, well identical to his grand father and is now running an antique store as opposed to a pirate ship. The game also shares the cell shaded graphic design that was introduced with the Wind Waker and carried over to the Phantom Hourglass."
Zelda games are all incredible, but the series shines particularly bright on handhelds.
The future could be filled with revived Nintendo DS classics. Hopefully it happens!
My kid yesterday proclaimed he liked the DS more than the Switch because the controls work on the go. Then I asked if he would rather have Monster Hunter Stories 2 on Steam or Switch and he chose Steam. So proud!
The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass has been registered and trademarked in Australia. What does this mean for the franchise on its 35th anniversary? Will we be getting a remake of this DS classic?
It would need to be completely redone if it is coming to the Switch. Those touch controls would make it impossible in docked mode.
Who says nintendo has to go to the trouble of making it playable docked. Could just tell everyone to play handheld. They're nintendo after all. I've seen ppl defend nintendo for less so don't say it couldn't happen lol
A port would be a lot better than using the awful stylus movement on DS, be cool if they did the same for spirit tracks.
I will certainly pick this up, loved Phatom Hourglass, so this is a must buy.
