I can't wait, I was hoping the new crystal chronicles would have full wifi but when I found out it did not I took it off my list of must haves. This looks like an apt replacement.

Ah the 80s. "Warrior is looking up Wizard's skirt" always got a laugh at my arcade. Thank god the 80s are over.

I got sick of this game way back in 1993. Why the hell is it still relevant? Oh wait it's not...that's why it's on the DS...

What's that silly green meter - is that the health bar? Oh numbers where did you go?

Also, improved AI? How does "Spawn here, run directly for closest player" need improvement?

Not enough info yet, this game really crys out for dual analog control, and from the screenshots, is this going to be a vertical scroller now? Also missing (and from the 3D sequels ad nauseum) are the fun, bright cartoony graphics. Looks a little to "God of War" for it to truly be the Gauntlet sequel I'm hoping for.

Sounds fun, but man, I wish Blizzard would port a version of Diablo II over to the DS! I'll definitely pick this up!

@ZinkO: The Game (the kind you just lost):
Don't forget the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games, or Izuna: Legend of the Unemployed Ninja and its sequel... And there may be even more rougelikes on the DS I can't think of at the moment.

My friend once came to the conclusion that the reason you're losing life when you stand still isn't hunger. You're aging.

@remarK: i was just about to mention that song. but yeah, gauntlet from the arcades in the 80's is a big reason for me being a gamer, so outside of that abomination seven sorrows, its a series i follow, and will check this out.

Oh sweetness, yes.

I wonder about this game's puzzle gameplay and RPG elements. Such potential!

I really hope it's as hard as Contra 4.

SAKY — Sun, 06 Apr 2008 09:29:34 MDT

Campers? Jeez I've called that all weekend long in COD4.

The original Gountlet games were a pain in the ass difficult. Fun in the beginning but hard after about 30 minds. The makeover looks nice. Still, I'd rather see my online multiplayer remakes on a non-Nintendo console as Smash Bros has left a sour taste in my mouth.

boopadoo — Sun, 06 Apr 2008 09:08:23 MDT

Is it just me, or do the characters look too big? Part of the fun of Gauntlet is the amount of baddies on-screen, and this looks like you'll get about 20 baddies max at a time.

...but the online mic stuff sounds fantastic. All DS games should support online and chat.

pylon_trooper — Sun, 06 Apr 2008 09:01:19 MDT

It's of the same ilk, but did anyone here have as much fun as I did with Get Medieval? I'd like that brought back in some form, if we're going down the Gauntlet road.

Give the DS Gauntlet and Get Medieval for PSP.

- Get Medieval...what Monolith did in their spare time on the road to becoming a FPS powerhouse.

Maybe I'll get this for me and my girlfriend ... Gauntlet was always fun. It'll be neat to see what they did in this update. Some of the other attempts to update it were, umm ... less than successful.

poke50uk — Sun, 06 Apr 2008 08:38:43 MDT

Gauntlet's always great, even single player is good for just level munching (similar people enjoy level crunching too :P ), don't normally like classic incarnations, but this one sounds excellent :D

Gauntlet was good for co-op as an arcade classic. But playing on the DS doesn't sound so fun, specially considering that there are other better co-op alternatives.
