Doom RPG Might Come to DS

Doom RPG is a really entertaining cell phone game, for those of you who haven’t had an opportunity to play it. It was developed by Fountainhead, and is basically an old-school Doom game, but played as if it were a turn-based RPG. It actually makes the game quite accessible with any phone that’s able to run it. It’s a whole lot of fun.
Anna Kang, founder of Fountainhead, said in an interview with Gamasutra that Fountainhead has discussed bringing Doom RPG to the DS.
Do you think you guys will bring Doom RPG to the DS?
Well, we’ve been talking about that. We would like to bring it to the DS, but there’s a real significant change that we’d like to make, and the interesting thing is that the DS is a much younger audience gaming platform. And Doom being Doom, we’re not sure whether a mature rated game would do well on the DS. The numbers show a lot of adults own them, but I think the current thing keeping Doom on the DS from happening is the marketing, and whether mature games have been released on the DS, and have they been successful?
Hopefully Fountainhead will realize there is a market for mature titles on the DS (it’s not only kiddies playing the thing; just go walk around Japan for evidence) and ports the game, maybe with some extras? One can only hope.
do you want to port a cellphone game on the ds
weird, i mean the ds can do so much more then a cell (i don’t own a ds but everybody knows that) and with the dual screen you could make a great new doom game, and it still can be a turn based rpg, but not a straigt port from a older game with some few new things, better make a new game with the older system
That goes without saying, but what I want is the underlying Doom RPG game. I obviously would like to see new features taking advantage of the DS and not a straight port of the cell phone game.
i hate ds but love ps3 psp and ps2 so…if they make like a doom 4 they should make it for ps3 cus with the blueray it beats and is beter then xbox
What I don’t get is that The DoomGuy never ever speaks, only in the film. I don’t know why
Does anyone know why?
Doom RPG is an awesome game. I don’t see why not port it to the DS. I’ve logged 14 hours of playtime and won the game at least 3 times, and I *still* haven’t unlocked everything, or found every secret. I’d say that’s pretty good for a cell phone game. Also, on the DS, the second screen could take the generic role of displaying the map and going through menus.
ps. Anyone know how to replay the Entrance level? I want to go back and get 100% secrets…
They really should make a port of Doom RPG for the ds, they already did it for orcs and elves, and it was a great game. With increased frame rate and the 2nd screen, why not?
and while they’re at it, they should make a doom/doom2/final doom compilation for the ds w/ WiFi multiplayer, it would be the perfect portable fps in my opinion
I did like that game, but I never played this one before
doom is no a cellphone game it’s a computer game. I mean it was a computer game 13 years ago… and now it’s even on cellphones, I’ve finished both parts they’re great an I’ve played third part(also for computer). The third part came out in 2004
