Star Wars Shadow Strike Confirmed for DS and PSP

[fitbabits]

Thanks to Eurogamer (http://www.eurogamer.net) for the head's-up (http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=63135).

Our old friend Internet Reports has been at it again, this time with rumours of a new Star Wars game for PSP and Nintendo DS.

The rumours emerged after online retailers began advertising it on their sites - and this time, it turns out, they were right on the money, and Ubisoft's quietly had it on its schedule for a little while. Called Star Wars Shadow Strike, it's currently in development for both handhelds, and is due to hit the shops in May.

That's all they're saying for the moment, though; as for what type of game it'll be, all we know is that it's described as an "action" game on Ubi's latest release schedule.

This is fantastic news ... I hope. Ubi dropped the Episode III port of the console game to the PSP last year. I hope this game is good and compelling.

Hm... Shadow Strike? Sounds Spec Op. Like, uh... Republic Commando. Maybe a handheld sequel/conversion.

I just want the dogfighting engine from the DS Revenge of the Sith online. Or even better, give me a port of TIE Fighter online.

I hope it's some kind of mini bounty hunter style game.

I hope it's some kind of mini bounty hunter style game.
Like Metroid Prime: Hunters (http://www.metroidhunters.com/launch/index.jsp)?

Wow another Star Wars game, stop the presses. Good lord am I sick of this license.

I am actually looking forward to the upcoming Star Trek starship simulator for the DS a lot. I played some Star Fleet Battles in my youth and would love a touch-screen version of that game. :D
