Too bad I don't have a Nintendo DS.

Do you plan to do a Wii version now? (Joke)

Absolutely.

Buy me a Wii, and I'll get right on it.

Seriously? That would be nice!

I thought about an idea of a Lemmings game on the Wii. Just imagine yourself being a Lemming and make the same skill movements as a real Lemming would do to choose the skills. Example: For a blocker, extend your arms so that the Wiimote is in your right hand and the nunchuk is in your left hand. For the builder, put the Wiimote and the nunchuk in front of you and bring them to your back above your head (to take a brick in your "backpack") and bring them back in front (to deposit the brick). For the basher, just "swim" in the air in front of you by using the Wiimote and the nunchuk.

Well... okay, it would be easier to select the skill on the screen using the Wiimote, but still there, what do you think of that?

Well, I'm getting a DS and a flash cart this week so I'll be able to tell you what I think of this really soon! ^^

Edit: @DL, yeah, that idea sounds pretty good. Pulling it off well would be another story, but the idea itself is great.

My M3 Simply arrived in the post today, and this was the first thing I tried.

I applaud you sir. You have done what Nintendo and SCEE could not, even with twenty years of negotiations, four tons of cheap promotional materials and several million pounds of drinks money. And even then they probably would've ballsed it up.

This is probably the most polished Lemmings clone ever. The only irritating bit was the normal framerate was a bit slow, however that's easily fixable by a little bit of hacking. Aside from that and the lack of a visible cursor (however there are several cursor modes to accomodate your favourite DS tapping style) it's brilliant.

Everyone else, do the following:

• If you don't have a NDS Lite, buy one. (if you live outside the United States of Americaland, take advantage of their sinking economy and import one on the cheap from Hidden Pirate Island. while you're at it, grab New Super Mario and a 2gb microSD card)
• Buy an M3 Simply. Unfortunately Hidden Pirate Island doesn't stock these, so you'll have to look around your corner of the swamp for a local vendor. (mine was http://bamboogaming.com ) Don't pay more than $50 AUD for one.
• Download the latest M3 Simply loader, extract it to the root directory of your microSD card.
• Copy the lemmingsds.nds and lemmingsds_config.txt files to the root directory of your microSD card. Keep the rest of the directories in a folder called LemmingsDS.
• Shove your 2gb microSD (gently!) into the M3 Simply.
• Shove the M3 simply into your Nintendo DS (making sure to remove any inserted game cartridge first).
• Play LemmingsDS.

Again, well done Matt. This is fantastic.
