Myst DS books passage to North America

By now there can't be many people who haven't seen, played, and probably uttered a polarized opinion or two on Myst, the classic adventure from Cyan Worlds. But for those who haven't, or for those who want to explore other worlds while on the go in this one, another chance is coming this March, as Empire Interactive announced today that it will be publishing Myst for the Nintendo DS in North America.

Nearly fifteen years after the game's debut, the DS version of Myst has been "enhanced and recreated" by Hoplite Research with an original soundtrack and re-mastered video, and includes the Rime Age, which was not included in the original release. Making use of the handheld's dual screens, the upper screen provides information and shows close-ups, while the lower touch screen is used to navigate and interact with the environment using the stylus. Players will also have access to "a new arsenal of mini-tools", including a magnifying glass, camera, notebook, and map.

Along with the earlier release of Myst for DS in Europe, the game has also recently been ported to Sony's PSP, helping to build on the legacy of the series that has already sold over 12 million games to date.
