Rainbow Islands Revolution coming to the DS

Yep, that old Taito arcade classic Rainbow Islands (anyone remember the wonderful Amiga A500 version by Graftgold? Fantastic it was…) is coming to the DS courtesy of Rising Star Games.

Rainbow Islands is the latest instalment in the Revolution Series of updated Taito classics. For this update there have been a few changes to the “classic” gameplay of the original:

• Entire control method is touch screen based
• Bub or Bob now sit in an eternally floating bubble and moved around using the stylus
• Rainbows are now drawn directly onto the field of play! (Mmm, we shall have to see how this works out)

However, thankfully the look and feel of the original game seem to have be retained (take a look at the screenshots below) and the “Goal In!” level endings – a Tikipod favourite – are still there. Yay :-)

Rainbow Islands Revolution is planned for release in Feb 2006. Look out for it.
