Fans Unofficially Porting StarCraft to Nintendo DS

Jan. 8 5:58 PM by Alicia Ashby

Two French StarCraft fans (who are, wisely, staying mostly anonymous) have begun working on a Nintendo DS port of Blizzard's classic PC RTS title. They've gotten far enough in their work to have a rough but playable demo out, although you'll need something like an R4 SuperCard to play it.

This is, honestly, all we know about who's doing the port and why...

What do you get when you combine a big video game publisher not wanting to port over a game to other systems and a community containing homebrew developers? You get an unofficial port of that game.

Since no official plans were ever announced from Blizzard, two French homebrew developers have taken it upon themselves to create a port of the popular PC game, StarCraft, for the Nintendo DS, calling it StarLite. Because theyve only been working for three weeks, the game is a bit limiting right now and still needs a lot of work.

What's going to be really interesting is Blizzard's reaction to this.
