GameStop predicts EndWar, Broken Sword
According to the online store of games retail monolith GameStop, the DS is going to be home to two new Ubisoft-published series entries next year. EndWar (or, as it appears in GameStop's database, End war) is one of those Tom Clancy things, a near-futuristic real-time strategy game about missile defense.
Broken Sword is a well-known adventure game series, and one that has seen entries on Nintendo handhelds before. Developer Revolution Software has expressed interest in creating a 2D Broken Sword game on the DS in the past.
Just the simple fact that these are Ubisoft-published series makes DS versions eminently likely-- especially the Tom Clancy's game, part of a brand that is eagerly ported to every available console (yes, including the N-Gage). But retailer listings are still a little too tenuous to call the existence of these games anything but rumor.

Broken Sword for the DS, as in designed with it in mind, as in the best idea I've heard all month? Holy crap.

I was thinking about Broken Sword GBA (Shadow of the Templars) the other day. I was reminiscing about how sad it was that an otherwise quality game could be so marred by game-ending bugs (among other things, don't go to Spain before Syria or you're screwed).
Though I'm jazzed to hear that they're thinking of putting out a DS version, I hope they put it through a vigorous bug testing/fixing process - something its predecessor lacked big time.
