TrackMania set for DS
Handheld version official
Cult racer TrackMania will be released on the DS handheld at the end of 2008, according to word from publisher Focus Home Interactive.
The studio behind the handheld version of Race Driver, Firebrand, will be developing the new outing for Nintendo's portable, and the game will include the all-important track editor allowing you to create wacky tracks to your hearts content.
Wi-Fi racing and track sharing is hoped for, and there will be challenges on offer as well as a full campaign mode.
"The fact that some members of the Firebrand team are true TrackMania fans definitely convinced us to trust them, and the first results are spectacular," beamed Focus Home Interactive boss Cedric Lagarrigue.
"We believe that the Nintendo DS console is well-suited for more casual games than to realistic simulations, and TrackMania DS, with the fun it brings in solo as well as in multiplayer mode, along with its well-known track editor, should find itself quite a nice place on Nintendo's handheld."
