DS and Cellphones are really similar, both use ARM CPU architecture and... well, Square Enix is porting a Cellphone game into the DS now and Id Software did the same with Orcs and Elves recently... Oh... and Contra 4 was ported/adapted from DS to Cellphones. I really think these games should go multiplatform to DS; why not start making them for both platforms from the ground? @ Spencer – I understand that, but I look at this and think “Hell, I’ll never be able to play this” not because I don’t want to… but because of the platform it’s on.

However, people always carry their phones with them, which makes it a pretty good market. Plus cell phone games don't cost as much to develop so you've got a good profit margin too. @Pedro Silva – In Japan it’s not uncommon to spend lots of time on the train and you don’t always have a handheld with you.
