What the christ is wrong with you kiddies? Battlefront III? Republic Commando II? KOTOR III? Rogue Squadron IV? What are you, twelve? To me, "old school" means TIE Fighter, Dark Forces, The Dig, Day of the Tentacle...
@fnool: A message board I check on had someone starting up a thread about "old school" systems like the original PlayStation. Sad, but I guess no different than how radio thinks "classic" rock refers to the 70's on up. :/
@Skyburnbright: This is needed badly. Given the complexity of modern gaming controllers, this could be easily replicated on 360/PS3. It could be the same exact 15-year-old game(s) and campaigns for all I care. Just modern up the graphics and put in an X-wing vs. TIE Fighter on-line battle mode.
@TearsandScreams: Hotel Dusk, Ace Attorney and Trace Memory set the bar pretty high. SCUMM-type "walk and examine" games would be well-suited for the platform, too... If that Edgeworth AA spinoff does well in the west, maybe LucasArts will take the hint and we'll be playing Beneath a Steel Sky DS in no time.

There just isn't much else in their pre-Chimps-With-Downs Syndrome-era catalog that's worth bringing back.
Personally I hope it's X-Wing, I've been wanting an excuse to get a new flightstick for years

If it's anything to do with Star Wars, then there's absolutely nothing new or exciting about the announcement. It's just same ol', ame ol'.

I think it will be an older series, maybe even another MONKEY ISLAND!!!!!!!!!!!

If you can't tell me right now,
DON'T FREAKING BRING IT UP UNTIL YOU CAN.
I hate PR bullshit.

Seriously though I do wonder when LucasArts will realize that the DS is a perfect platform to bring back their old school adventure games on.
Now that would be excellent news.

It was done by Virgin Interactive though, in which both them and LA had similar type games back in the day.
