Civilization DS Announcement Coming?

Civilization or Alpha Centuari may be announced for the Nintendo DS soon, according to the games designer Sid Meier.

Meier talks about the possibility of his famously fantastic turn-based strategy games going to the handheld in his Ask Sid feature. The occasional series lets fans submit questions to the designer.

Question: Do you have any plans to develop for the NintendoDS? Firaxis' strategy games are a natural match for the dual screen, touchscreen enabled handheld. Other strategy games such as Europe Universalis II, Age of Empires, and Command and Conquer have been announced. Civilization and/or Alpha Centuari would fit in nice.

Sid: It's certainly something we're exploring. Our goal is to make great games and deliver them to players on whatever platforms make sense for the game. I agree that the Nintendo DS would be a good match for some of our titles so stay tuned for more info. soon!
