SAN FRANCISCO – OCTOBER 20, 2008 – Today Ubisoft announced that Tom Clancy’s EndWar™ will be released for the Nintendo DS™ system and the PSP® (PlayStation®Portable) system. Developed by Funatics Software and optimized for the handheld platforms, Tom Clancy’s EndWar is rated T for “teen” and will ship to retailers on November 4, 2008.

Tom Clancy’s EndWar for handhelds allows players to command an elite military force on the ground, in the air and on the seas during World War III. Take control of the elite U.S. Joint Strike Force, European Enforcers Corps or Russian Spetsnaz Guards Brigade and lead your faction to victory in three separate yet interwoven single-player campaigns. Each campaign includes over 30 battle scenarios taking place on real-world battlefields including Paris and London, and features increasingly challenging missions and objectives. Fight against a friend in tense two-player battles in any of the 100 ready-to-play scenarios or in your own custom-created missions.

Key Features:

* Turn-based strategy with a twist: Simultaneous move and attack phases make the experience as intense and authentic as real-time strategy.
* Three campaigns, one for each faction, with increasingly challenging battle scenarios and objectives.
* Over 20 units and vehicles per faction including ground, air and naval units. Units gain experience in combat, dramatically improving their combat performance.
* Two-player versus multiplayer mode, including additional missions specifically designed for multiplayer battles.
* Easy-to-pick-up mission editor: Create and share your custom battlefields and battle scenarios to play solo or against another player.
* Full stylus control on Nintendo DS.

According to G4, E3 will be returning to some of its old ways. The event will be returning to the Los Angeles convention center and will be held in June rather than July. E3 will run, in 2009, from June 2 to June 4. Best of all, as G4 also noted, E3 2009 will “technically be open to the public.” More news is expected to be released in the coming days.

“We are always looking into continuing the development of our popular franchises, so my advice would be to wait and see!” – Takahiro Harada/Nobuo Matsumiya

“‘Wario Land DS’ – oh I just want to develop it! Maybe, if many of your readers’ opinions are gathered and sent to us, it might be an idea that will be realised in the not too distant future. Everyone, do you want to play ‘Wario Land DS?'” – Takahiro Harada/Nobuo Matsumiya

Wario Land on the DS could work out pretty well if you ask me. If the game were to take some of the elements that made previous titles successful, there’s no doubt that a DS game would suit Wario perfectly.
