Is That Gauntlet In Your Pocket, Or Are You Just Happy To See Me?
Okay, this could be a little bit awesome. Eidos has revealed that they are working on porting the coin-op arcade classic Gauntlet over to the Nintendo DS. You'll have to wait until later this year to team up with your pals to swipe down hordes of enemies, but it sounds like it might be well worth the wait.
"With Gauntlet we've revitalised all of the action and fun of the original 1980s arcade classic, whilst updating the visuals and gameplay for today's DS gamer," said Ray Livingston, Brand Manager at Eidos. "With four-player Wi-Fi cooperative mode, one of the most memorable multiplayer gaming experiences of all time is back with a bang."
Not only will you be able to play over the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, Gauntlet will offer Voiceover IP, so you can actually chat through the DS microphone. Whether that's in-game or just in lobbies is unclear in the press release, so we'll have to find out details later. But with 40 maps across three realms, co-op and competitive multiplayer with rankings, I'm a little excited about this one.

I have a question that isn't REALLY related to Gauntlet... (Just incase anyone is reading through here).
A game from around 1990, it played a HELLUVA lot like Gauntlet, only on an isometric plane. I remember a Sorceress as one of the playable classes, the first boss was a blue dragon....but not much else springs to mind. TRYING to remember the name of this game, have been for years. Any ideas?
As for Gauntlet bein' on the DS? Hellz yeah!
Ry-guy:
I don't know what game you're talking about, but there are plenty of old games in this site: http://www.abandonia.com/en/game/RPG
Perhaps you can find what you're looking for from there. ;D
Hey Ry-guy,
Maybe you're thinking of Dark Seal / Gate of Doom?
