The stupid thing is that a couple of years ago James Pond 2: Robocod was also rereleased for the GBA (with new, wholey unengaging levels). And the PSone. It seems the company who have the rights to it now are trying to make us Sick To Bloody Death of the game.

Well it's very common for companies to make money of their old games by remaking them for mobile platforms. Or even modern games dumbed down to old-game-quality, claiming them "as good as the original"

Indeed - the mobiel version of Cannon Fodder is an abomination.

There's Cannon Fodder for the mobile? Never found it, must not be available for my model. Like Civilization 3Squirminator2k wrote:Indeed - the mobiel version of Cannon Fodder is an abomination.
Most shocking is Midtown Madness 3 which seems to have been cut down to below-Micro-Machines-quality for mobiles. Call of Duty 2 is now a top-down shooter, though not half bad. And Splinter Cell / Prince of Persia are numbed-down platformers, which makes them oh-so-much-easier (although Splinter Cell's HUD is missing on my model, so I have to GUESS if I'm lit up or not - not very easy to tell on a mobile screen - my ammo, my health, etc.)
Most accurate conversion for mobiles I've played is Age of Empires 2. It's simply awesome. Same gameplay (though simplified), same graphics, same music... and unbelievably hard since you don't have the benefits of a mouse

Just look at it:
Now compare it to the original:
A perfect conversion, right?

Robocod
Sorry but Robocod is not a great game anyway, there are already so many great platform games on DS. Sonic Rush is superb, Castlevania, Princess Peach, the New Super Mario Bros. Overall, Superfrog is a far better game than Robocod and I think it may stand a chance on todays DS market. If they just tweak the graphics here and there, and leave the game play as it is (the gameplay itself will endure) then you will have a great platformer remade for todays handheld DS gamers.
