XSEED's New Nintendo Games @ E3 2008: Populous DS
Jul. 24The Lowdown: A version of the original "god sim" game reimagined for the DS with new touchscreen controls and additional features. Play as one of five elemental gods with their own miracles to bestow on worshipers and a unique demonic counterpart. Actions you take on the simple wire-frame bottom screen play out in beautiful 2D animations on the upper screen. Populous DS supports multiplayer for up to four players and features both popular classic Populous maps and all-new maps.The single-player campaign offers 50 missions and a Free Play mode.
The Hype: Populous is one of those classic games that seems like a really good fit for the DS, and the odd Japanese sensibilities of the remake's graphics give the game some much-needed visual flair.
The Snark: I'm really wondering why XSEED is publishing this and not Electronic Arts...
Anyway, some great screens and art after the cut.

I see it has Nintendo World, but is Cake World in?
