  Ooh, a whole sentence for a post, eh? Fancy! -- Obviously, Sim City is an easy choice for porting to the DS, with the obvious advantages that come along with the touchpad. Which version of Sim City will be ported is unknown at this time, but it'll most likely be either the original or Sim City 2000, since those are both version that could work easily on the system. Of course, we can't forget to mention the Nintendo 64DD, Japan-Only, release of Sim City, (http://nindb.classicgaming.gamespy.com/nus/dsc.shtml) which not only let you build your city, but also run around inside it in full 3D. Here's hoping we get something more like that, and maybe have lots of little missions to complete within your city. It'll at least make a change from the plain old style of Sim City. Still not sure how well Road drawing will be with the stylus, mind. I was always bad enough doing those a mouse, with odd kinks appearing at every few sections.

  Sim City 2000 for the GBA blew because it couldn't handle the graphics. Aka: no in game music, 10 FPS, and no fun. I have high hopes for this one. I can't wait :D
