Any plans for a DS port?

I've been excited for Prinny ever since it was announced, but I am missing one important thing: a PSP!

Does anyone know if there are any plans to bring Prinny over to the DS? I'd pick it up on day one if it ever happened! Prinny is one of my most-wanted games; I even bought that holiday bundle that had the Prinny soundtrack and a Laharl prinny plush. Now all that I need is the game!

Nope never. That would ******* ruin this game completely. And besides:

That is true. The DS is pretty weak and besides, an immediate port would be very bad for the PSP sales. Perhaps we could get a port in a few years after the sales slow down. If not a DS port, then maybe a Wii port.

Really I'm telling you, it ain't gonna happen. And for WII, you gotta be joking...

Not that I think it will get ported, but Cross Edge also has a "Only on Playstation" tag, and guess what got re-released on XBOX.

Im doubting, but the graphics don't seem all that hard to port it to the DS. Besides, if they use a 4 GB cart, they can fit MOSTLY everything. The music would stay the same, voices would stay, etc.

Better idea, 3DS port. I'd buy it in a heartbeat to be honest.

On the otherhand, I really have no desire to buy a PSP. It's just not as great of a handheld as the DS IMO.

I think they could fit everything in 4GB, mainly as I've been told that the UMD maxes out under 2GB!

Except the biggest DS game I've seen is 0.55 GB. The Biggest Pokémon games are 0.25GB/256MB, and that is for Black/White. Band Hero DS and Lego Rock Band are both 256MB. HGSS and Platinum are 128MB. Diamond and Pearl are 64MB. Disgaea 1 is squeezed in to 64 Megabyte cartage! New Mario Bros is even smaller at 32 MB!

The DS hardware is actually Less powerful than the PSP, it's just that most companies have done stuff that reflect the hardware limits.

NIS knows the Sony hardware, and I don't think they've got the means or the ability to do DS port of an action game.

NIS is a company who having trouble with the Banks, and is doing two new games this year. Trying Port a recent game at this time seems a bit silly.
