News: Lara Raiding Nintendo Consoles!

In a suprising development, it appears Tomb Raider Legends is destined for GameCube, DS and GBA this summer!

The Official Nintendo Magazine has come across information in a financial report which reveals that the SCi and Crystal Dynamics are bringing Cube, DS and GBA versions of the upcoming Tomb Raider installment, Legends.

This comes as completely unexpected news, as although there have been a couple of spin-off adventures for the Game Boy, the franchise has never graced a Nintendo home console before. No platform-specific gameplay details are available at this time, though it can be expected to be a port of the PS2 title - expected to feature more action and a new control scheme from previous titles in the series.

More on this as it breaks!

Nintendo's not releasing it.

The DS game is just going to be a crappy port of the GBA game. Tehy always do that. I hate it.

Yeah, it will probably be just a crappy port of the GBA version, but nevertheless, we might be suprised...

When people make DS specific games they're usually great.
But if they silumtaneously make a GBA game, they port the GBA game.

I regret my PSP purchase, not my DS.

I think people like PSP better here. I dunno. They're about even everywhere. I personally think the PSP is garbage. Let's hope the Tomb Raider game will be a worthy title for DS.
