Worms - First Facts

We already broke the news of Worms coming to the Nintendo DS (and Sony's PSP) last month, but now we've received the first facts on the two versions.

Spadge, one of Team17's moderators on the company's forums, confirmed the following facts:Both the PSP and DS editions will feature classic Worms gameplay - as vociferously requested by our fans. Both versions have been in development for some time, news on release dates will follow much later in the year.The PSP will utilise 3d background imagery and zooming, full width 16:9 proportions. It looks cute as sin Both platforms feature ad-hoc wireless play and of course, hot-seat play as well as single player games that suit the play patterns of the devices. I.e. short bursts.The DS will feature touch-screen use; planned to be finger rather than stylus control to make it better for hot-seat situations. The touch screen will be used for map scrolling, weapon controls and stats.The gamecode is all new for both editions and not a port of earlier 2d games.A 3d version of Worms is not currently planned for these devices, for both technical and play-factor reasons bearing in mind their screen resolution and suitability to the original 2d game mechanics.Further information will be released by the global publisher, THQ in future.

  "A 3d version of Worms is not currently planned for these devices", only 3D backgrounds. IGN already got some PSP screens though...
