Score another for the DS! Now Firaxis!! Woo!

[warning]

Firafix Games, a development studio most famously known for the PC series, Civilization, and more recently Sid Meier's Pirates, have announced that they are going to start developing for the Nintendo DS.

Could this mean a master-strategy game like Civilization makes its way onto two screens?

And they misspelled Firaxis not me.  Oh well...

Hooray!

But wait a sec.... I thought everyone said the DS was a throwaway gimmick system?

Mmmm, cognitive dissonance

I keed, I keed!

I could see RTS games working really well on DS, since you could use the stylus to select units and designate destinations. The thing that would seemingly make it tricky would be screen size.
