We didn't actually get to play Eidos' Pony Friends for the Nintendo DS on the Games Convention show floor today, but we did find time to walk past the booth in a hurry to get somewhere else. Most surprising thing about the title we learned today is that it, apparently, has a strong military aspect to it. You can use grenades to take out swarms of enemies? Awesome.
Pony Friends—leave no man (or pony) behind.
The Atari 2600 was some console! Wouldn't it be great to, you know, be able to make your own labels. It is! What was the fake game we posted?

WTF?! lol
That is the funniest thing I've seen all week... Rotflmao
Best picture of the show.
what!?
GOTY material right there.
i lol'd
good lord
This just became a guaranteed Halokiller.
Simply awesome.
I guess they won't be able to get that E rating from the ESRB after all.
GotY
Hilarious.
Ok how could a pony throw a grenade? I cant see anyone at the convention wanting to play Pony friends so maybe they switched it to a war game to fool you into thinking it was violent and less cuddly.
I'm skeptical. Using grenades to take out swarms of enemies sounds like pretty shoddy AI to me. Those ponies should know well enough to get the hell out of the way of an incoming grenade.
♪You've got a friend in me...♪
I want a Pony Friends Xbox Theme. Even if it is comin out on Nintendo Systems :*( They're just so darn cute. I just wanna feed 'em apples.
Anyone else picturing swarms of zombie ponies?
Awesome. That may very well be the first time I've ever audibly laughed in front of my computer, so I'm gonna do it.
LOL.
Oh, god, that hurt... I'm gonna go curl up with an MLA handbook for a while.
Thats a trailer for Operation: Vietnam on the DS.
@GexX2: No one cares. The happy accident was too fuckin' awesome.
Go! Seabiscuit! Go!
Those ponies are claiming the Eastside Stables Gang. They stole an apple from our little sister. Lets go show those MotherHorseFuckers what our hooves claim!
Sure its funny, but I was just clarifying for the frightened "Soccer Moms" calling JT on speed-dial.
@GexX2: I believe you have your gaming-relevant maternal subgroups confused. Soccer Moms own Wiis, it's housewives that have Jack on speed-dial.
That's a pony game I would get! I wonder what the enemies are.
I would play a My little pony animal crossing. Those things are toxicly cute.
Im still laughing whilst writing this...
Seriously this game would be awesome if it has grenades... and rocket launchers
@Gary71313: Oh my god lol.
First thing to make me laugh out loud today. I would buy this game. Twice.
@Belias: Seriously this game would be awesome if it has grenades... and rocket launchers
And gibs FTW!
Game of the Year and Photo of the year too! This should go down in history as one of the most original photos (and game concepts) ever! Someone artistic should put together a flash version of this concept and get it out there while the joke is still funny ^_^.
Ponies and grenades. Can I just say...
OMG!!!PONIES!!!
Getting fragged by a pony and then the humilation of getting an equestiran teabag is too much for my tiny little brain to imagine.
@Manimalius: Equestrian teabags crush skulls...
somebody mixed up an a/v cable...
It unicorn swarms, not the ponies you need to be worried about.
Pony Friends 40k. In the future of pony friendship - there is only war.
A pony, a pony, my kingdom for a pony!
@seraphiusNoctisbane: Great Comment. Would read again A+++
Pony Grenadiers need to be included in every FPS developed from now until the end of time.
Nothing says violence than a bunch of Ponies. This should win best DS Game!
lol this is the best game ever!!! I always knew pony's were evil and it's all a conspiracy you see. Hitler was actually a pony! and WWII we wernt actually fighting germans but ponies!
Grenade throwing pony riding action! Coming to a Gamestop near you!
Oh my god that is so awesome. XD
Simpson and his donkey would be turning in their graves right now. Or it could just be a monumental pony-up.
Photo of the show, no doubt in my mind. Thank you for the morning belly laugh.
Can't wait to show this to my nieces. They are woefully uninterested in shooters.
@Moonshadow101: Actually, most housewives I know have no idea about games or Jack Thompson. Thank you, Lord!
That was definitely lulzworthy.
It would be fantastic if they delivered a perfect generic pet sim target marketed to young girls, but also decided to throw in a war minigame just for the hell of it.
Pony Friends : Allied Assault
Seriously, they might have stumbled onto something. I forwarded this to my wife, who responded:
that's pretty hilarious and would, actually, make a fantastic game for me! Riding and dressing ponies AND killing the shit out of something? Sign me up. If only.
Not that different in appeal from, say, Final Fantasy X-2 (which she, a "non-gamer," played all the way through)...
OMG Ponies!
I want them to make that a real game now too.
I can't even remember the last time I laughed so hard. My chest hurts now.
best.picture.ever.
oh, well if that is the case, i'm going to get this game for sure. photo of the show for sure.
they need to make a barbie war shooter. [: driving around in the convertible or the van, heading towards the enemies fold-out mansion or beauty salon. actually a GTA variation of it might work as well. [:
Ahahahahah! That is some funny stuff
