Quake II Ported To Nintendo DS

11:00AM February 16, 2008 | Michael McWhertor

The original Quake running on a Nintendo DS? About as exciting as Daikatana, now that someone’s hacked together a working version of Quake II for the dual screened handheld. id Software’s classic first person shooter is now (nearly) a fully functional port, with working sound, graphics and on-screen keyboard support for console fun. No wi-fi support yet, but we expect it within the next 20 minutes or so.

The catch? It doesn’t fit on a stock DS memory footprint, requiring a slot-2 flash card with at least 16 MB of RAM. A list of support cards is available at the offical Q2DS site. The hobby project is free to download, but we haven’t tried it out yet, so homebrew enthusiast beware.
