Mass Effect possibly coming to Nintendo DS

http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/bioware-considering-mass-effect-for-ds

"BioWare's Miles Holmes has said that the developer is looking at possibly bringing Mass Effect, Jade Empire and Dragon Age titles to the Nintendo DS, according to Eurogamer.de.

The lead designer of the upcoming DS RPG Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood described the title as an effort to get BioWare's handheld division off the ground. He explained that the developer would consider making more DS titles to support its console games, saying: "Basically anything that reinforces the franchises".

"We have a lot of big plans for Mass Effect. Having a DS version would be an awesome way to keep interest alive and keep it going in addition to the next one [Mass Effect 2]," said Holmes.

Holmes commented he would personally like to see a Mass Effect title on the DS: "I tell you which one I would want. I want the Mass Effect one".

The DS is now not only getting tons of great JRPGs, but now WRPGs as well. What a great system!

If the Wii was half what the DS is, the Wii would easily dethrone the PS2 as the greatest console ever.

that doesnt sound good at all...final_fortress

Especially if future Mass Effect games for 360 and PC get affected by this in a negative way :(

EA... I wonder if they are the ones responsible for this. Next month BioWare will probably annouce Mass Effect Beach Party for the Wii.

I dont like the idea but your sig made me lolscarymovie5

My sig? Yeah, I had a good laugh when I first saw it :P

Here it is, if you want to see it: http://au.gamespot.com/pages/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=26438494

I remember reading on the offical Mass Effect Board that he mis-spoke, and there is no plans on making Mass Effect on the DS.

EDIT: Here is what Chris Priestly said

"Sorry folks this was just a small misunderstanding. Miles did indeed express his interest in working on Mass Effect, but not that Mass Effect was being made for the DS.

It was more of a "I'd like to work on ME someday" the way I might say "I'd love to visit Kuala Lumpur someday". No biggie, just kind of misquoted."

It would be a curious thing to do.

Crytek: Crysis 2 will be a Wii exclusive.

Crysis PC fans: WHAT?!?

Crytek: Huh? Oh sorry, I mis-spoke. Please ignore what I just said.

Lol, just kidding :P

I'm entirely convinced Bioware enjoys messing with people. There's a pretty decent chance the purpose of Sonic Dark Brotherhood was to poke fun at SEGA.

I thought it was part shooter or something? Idk, I don't really follow WRPGS. I don't see how that would be any good on DS.

The DS is now not only getting tons of great JRPGs, but now WRPGs as well. What a great system!

It can't because PS2 = PS1 as well. PS1 = Greatest games ever.
