Broken Sword dev continues to mercilessly tease us

Evidence of a Broken Sword game for the DS is mounting. First, there was a petition posted by Revolution Software designer Tony Warriner to register player interest (which, predictably enough, was sky high). Then, a Broken Sword game cropped up in the database of the rarely wrong GameStop. And now, Revolution Managing Director Charles Cecil has dropped some heavy-handed hints about such a title.
Speaking to Videogamer.com, Cecil admitted that the petition was "really inspirational," and that the DS was "an ideal platform" for the point and click genre. His final comment on the matter was far more suggestive, however: "I just wish that we were having this interview in about a month's time," he told VideoGamer.com's Wesley Yin-Poole. "Then you'd be asking me much more direct questions!" Hmm.
Even though Broken Sword for the DS remains a rumor, we're struggling to think of other ways in which Revolution can hint at the game without, you know, announcing it. Petition posted by developer? Check. Appearance of Broken Sword in GameStop records? Check. And now Cecil's comments? Frankly, you don't have to be a heavily pixellated, world-saving law graduate called George to figure out where this might be going.

The whole reason I picked up a R4 was ScummvmDS, because I love me some old-school pointing and clicking. More pointy-clicky goodness would be very welcome indeed.
The only Broken Sword game I played was Sleeping Dragon, which was something of a let down, but I hear the first two were stellar.

I have this for the GBA. It was OK, of course, somehow I managed to give away a vital item and used both of my saves after doing so. As I was numerous hours in I gave up. IF they added new content I might be interested.

I liked the GBA version, although it had some major sequence glitches; hopefully they fix those...

Also had the GBA version, and got stuck. The church dude won't stop shining the cup. Until that occured, I liked the game very much.

Hey, that sounds like where mine went awry as well. I guess you should never shine your cup in church.
