Team 17 release some new bits and bobs on the upcoming DS incarnation of Worms!

Retaining the same award-winning gameplay, unique sense of humor and clever mix of action and strategy that has epitomized the brand for almost a decade, Worms is the ideal quality gaming experience while on the move and is perfectly placed to make its debut on the Nintendo DS.

The processing power of the DS means Worms: Open Warfare contains the best of aspects of all previous Worms games whilst at the same time offering the best Worms AI and most balanced weapons system to date.

Plus with the introduction of a whole raft of unique features and laugh-out-loud comedy, Worms engages the player with streamlined gameplay especially suited to the smaller screens and shorter play time of a handheld device.

Heralding a return to the classic 2D turn based gameplay, the easy to play yet hard to master gameplay makes Worms on the Nintendo DS a match made in heaven.

Features:

• A full overhaul of the balancing of weapons and AI engines
• Streamlined menu system and play modes, tailored especially to suit the needs of mobile gamers, plus the addition of mid-mission saves for the first time means that gamers on the move needn't lose the progress they've made in either single or multiplayer games.
• Multiplayer mode allowing up to four players using one unit (hot seat).
• Multiplayer mode via the wireless link technology allowing connection of 4 units.
• Worms features a huge collection of favourite Worms weapons.
• 5 all-new graphical themes, with randomly generated landscapes.

Team17 and THQ will bring Worms to the Nintendo DS in Europe on the 24th March 2006.
