Dragon's Lair DS Announcement
Popular franchise to arrive on Nintendo's handheld early next year.
September 7, 2007 - Conspiracy Entertainment Europe is pleased to announce that
they have secured the publishing rights to one of the world's best known gaming
franchises, Dragon's Lair. They will be releasing the original Dragon's Lair and
Dragon's Lair II: Warp Time for the Nintendo DS. In addition, they will also
publish the DS version of Space Ace. United Coders (formerly announced as
Wizardry Engineering) is developing all versions of these games.
Lead Programmer & Executive Producer, Hans Olsen of United Coders said:
"This is such an important gaming franchise as it falls you were when Elvis or
Diana died?' except with this game it's 'Do you remember in which chip shop or
arcade you first played this game?'. We talked long and hard with the original
creators of Dragon Lair - Don Bluth, Gary Goldman and Rick Dyer - they were so
impressed with our vision for these titles, that we now have these gaming gems
to bring to the market in a new format."
Dragon's Lair DS features two modes of play: 1983 Arcade mode and Director's
Cut. The 1983 version plays just like the original arcade version released in
1983. This mode satisfies the hardcore gamer who wishes to re-live the first
ever handheld version of Dragon's Lair and includes every scene (including death
scenes) and every quirk from the original release.
The Director's Cut is aimed mostly at players who have never experienced the
game before, offering full support for the stylus, rumble pak, and voice
recognition.
Dragon's Lair DS is due to ship in the 1st quarter of 2008 with the others to
follow at a later date.
