DEFCON still headed to DS (if someone publishes it)
Remember Introversion's plans to port DEFCON to handhelds? Yeah, we didn't either, because that was like two years ago. It turns out that that a DS version of the stylised strategy game was actually completed in conjunction with Pinnacle Software, who ran into some ... trouble, of the all-too-familiar financial variety.
Introversion has reacquired the rights to the DS game and now hopes to find a publishing partner, in order to get it out worldwide in the third quarter of this year. "With the DSi flying off the shelves recently," Introversion's Mark Morris said, "we believe that there will be particular interest in a finished DS product with such a great track record, especially as the RTS/Strategy sector is so poorly served on the platform."

Well, I didn't hear about it. Sounds sweet though. I have been tempted to pick up Defcon for the PC as it is cheap. Anyone play the PC game? Anyone thinks this sounds good and hopes a publisher picks it up?
