Almost two months since its game was announced, Electronic Arts has finally published tangible details and the first screenshots for Populous DS in this week's issue of Famitsu.Due next February 21st, this remake of the god game will feature both touchscreen and classic controls, though these isometric sims seem to lend themselves to the former. In addition to four different modes -- Challenge, Free Play, VS (up to four players, and Gallery -- Populous DS will come packed with popular maps from its many, many previous editions on PCs and consoles. Peek past the post break for a camera-phone shot of the Famitsu page.

I remember how much time Populous for SNES sucked out of my life. This could be bad for my productivity.

Sooo looking forward to this. If it's a functional and faithful port (and I like the graphical upgrade, very nice) I will throw down a premium for the jolt of nostalgia alone.

I agree, I've tried playing this game via an SNES emu but it is just not the same. I am dying to try this out and if it is even on par with the original that is fine with me!

It would be so awesome if they support vibration cartridge.

Hmm, I wonder if they're willing to port Populous 3.. that game still has my soul on ransom.

Oh man, while we're pulling out old Bullfrog properties, maybe we can do Magic Carpet? That game totally kicked ass.

I want JA on my DS as long as they keep the voices. :)
