Lara gets date with Nintendo

More then a port you say?? hmm :)

I'm surprised Tomb Raider is still going. I personally like TR, but mainly only because my memories of the first and second were so good. I can't seem to pick up any recent ones lately... I haven't even been able to pick up TR Legend (Xbox) from the Video store.

to the people who say: - i don't think it will sell well, Lego star wars came to the cube after almost a year behind the xbox and the ps2 versions, it sold more. the gamecube ROCKS.

Boblighte, I bet 5 cents...

Nice. This game is looking very impressive, and I have more platforms to choose from.

DS? LOL...i will laugh... i love DS.... but this is gonna come out so crappy sigh...that's probably true.

this would be good news if tomb raider was a good game.

Why are games released later on Gamecube than other platforms ? People want games for it, so why wait..

i hate tomb raider games..

the GBA is getting it too?

About time Nintendo get some love from Lara Croft

hell yeah im going to have to get it on xbox 360 and gamecube I love this game cant wait to no whut the special features are

Fantastic. At last Nintendo fans can enjoy Tomb Raider. :)

If they canned the GBA version, it wouldn't mean the DS version would benefit one iota. Handheld versions of these big console releases, more times than not, end up sucking.

Getting the XBox version this week... I hope it's as good as they say.

Namco is still in business. Ms Pac-man had the same graphics as Pacman. Bother to make frigging sense.

People edios is rumored to be remaking the first Tomb Raider for the DS with improved graphics and additional features. Same with Soul Blade.

I think that rocks because I own a DS and will buy it. But then again graphics are everything... I mean just look how awful Ms. Pac-man was, no one played it and Namco went out of business. Too bad Pac-man couldn't have had better graphics...

Hmm... improvments for Gamecube version, well this is a reversal. I might buy it if it's worth my time and money.

i'm a-waitin for a GameCube version too. knew it was coming, obviously. still w00t !! -- extra content alone deserves double w00T !!

shinkuu hadouken :)

I wonder what they'll do with the GC version

no one is gonna buy the GC version......it's dead people

Won't be so great on ds, i think, and too late in gcs life to do well

There are so many more GBA's in the hands of consumers than DS's, that they will continue on with both. Just look at the 360. The majority of it's games come out on regular Xbox too (for now).

lol, if they do add Wii-like features to the game, I wonder just what exactly Lara will do with that remote... ;-)

This will be the first Tomb Raider I will be getting. I've read some reviews and the game seems very good. Let's see what Eidos will change for the GCN and the DS version of the game. It's always good to read that developers are supporting a Nintendo console. Although I really wonder why they have decided to support the GCN so late in it's lifecycle... Maybe all the gamers that will be buying The Legend of Zelda: TP will have one more excuse to get new software.

Nice! The GBA version of Tomb Raider was the best one after Tomb Raider 1 and 2.

sounds ok

Don't put it on Gamecube, make it for the Revolution. Aka the Wii...such a sissy name. I don't see why they won't make it for the Rev after making a PC, Xbox and 360 ver. All 3 of those system are considered powerful even until this day, and the Rev is inbetween the power of Xbox and a 360, so yeah.

They should can the GBA version in order to do the best they can for the DS version of Tomb Raider.

i'll probably wait til it goes down to $20....i've always wanted to try tomb raider...

I finally get to play a Tomb Raider game for the first time in my life! _____________________________________________________________ You should probably wait for the GC one, but then again, by that time the PS2 version will probably be a GH for $20, or $15 if you prefer used. Anyways, chances are the GC version will be better. If anything, then for the clearer visuals, but also they may add a few things here and there. Devs usually do that when a game is re-released to another system some months later. I think I will wait for the GC versions review, and if there isn't enough extras added in, then I will just pick up the PS2 version. Slightly clearer visuals won't be enough to make me pay $30 more.

The article sounds like it will be the same version, and ports to handhelds usually don't end up very good. Also, I remember playing the first Tomb Raider on the original Playstation with the original controller, the one without analog sticks, and then playing it with analog. After using analog control for a game like that, I don't think I could ever go back to using the d-pad. Not to mention I've already had a bad experience with a certain game ported to the DS having horrible controls already. That very reason completely ruined my Mario 64 DS experience. To the second part, I kind of hope they don't try adding a bunch of touch screen support to it anyways, other that the poor touch screen analog simulation, or for shooting. It annoys me when these games use these features just because they are there. They should put the touch screen features to use where they fit, and where they are fun. Thinking of Tomb Raider, I can't think of any other good ways to use the touch screen that would add to the experience.

grafix will be ugly on DS

Who cares? How about some better games?

oh wow, games are still coming out for GC? Good for it.

All that extra time for a port is so that they can put Mario in as a secret playable character.

2 bucks says the DS version will suck.

Atleast the Gamecube gettin some lovin, besides Zelda, this holiday season

I guess it's nice that Lara is getting around, so long as it doesn't do so at the expense of content. Legend isn't terribly long, but since these ports are coming after the other releases, I'll assume no correlation there. Still, it'd be nice to see the developers use the same engine to produce another game with more content.

That's weird it's out just in time for the Nintendo Wii's launch. I think EIDOS are trying to pull a Twilight Princess if you know what I mean.

I BET YOU! boblighte, it's true, it will be like chaos theory on the ds (EWWWWWW!) port of an Ngage game (MORE EWWWW!) but the gamecube one, will be good : D

cool! I will w8 for the GC one because I have a PS2 and GC and I need to see the reviews and check if one is better than the other. I finally get to play a Tomb Raider game for the first time in my life!

Man, just come out a tomb raider for the REV, not using the other name!

cool now kids can play with lara croft

This fall? o_0 , thats a long time for a simple port of a game, even with a few extras. Why do I get the feeling the Gamecube version will have Wii features ala Twilight Princess?

ill buy it if its good

Who wants to bet the DS version is gonna be a crappy port that doesn't take advantage of any of the system's unique features?
