Point Blank DS

This one completely slipped under my radar. Apparently Namco has ported the Point Blank series to the Nintendo DS, using the stylus as your light gun. Point Blank is one of my favorite arcade games out there, and I'm pissed my PSX copies of Point Blank, Point Blank 2, and Point Blank 3 don't work with the Guncon 2 controllers

Right now it sells for $29.99, might hit the bargin bin soon due to nobody knowing about it's release.

What the hell, it's out now? I thought it would be another few months. Hope it hits the bargain bin pretty soon, because I don't have $30 to spend on a DS game right now.

I played PB for the DS. I must say I was kinda impressed how you shoot people with just the stylist. INSANE is where your sharp-shooting skills will be tested to the max.

Yeah, some dude came into Gamestop asking for it and the SKU is in our system but we never got any in a shipment. Apparently Gamestop decided it wouldn't sell enough so they only shipped it to the bigger stores.

Crap, totally forgot about this one. Now I can finally get good at the "one-shot only" levels. Those used to toally wreck me on the PS. Shooting the target on Dr. Dan/Don when they went wheeling by in a circus wheel (PB3, I think) was horribly difficult for me. Also, it's not a "one-shot only" but that level in the first one where you had to shoot the fly. Dear Lord that was cruel.

I never saw this coming. So is this a port of all three games?

Now I think I might invest in a DS.

Freaking awesome. Too bad I cannot find any of the old PB games these days.
