The DS version ofLEGO Harry Potterwon’t be like the Wii version. In fact, it’ll be something akin toZeldaaccording to lead designer Arthur Parsons.
“This time the DS version is a completely different game,” Parsons told Official Nintendo Magazine in a recent interview. “LEGO Batmanwas a very similar game, whereasLEGO Harry Potteris completely different.”
But what is? “It’s an isometric adventure style game,” he said. “You can use the stylus to guide your characters around. It’s a bitZelda-y. You can use a gesturing system to cast spells by drawing shapes on the touch screen.”
I’m not a big fan of wizards. Mom says the devil is in their hands and hearts. But I must admit there’s something aboutZeldadesign — borrowed or not — that I find endlessly interesting. I’ll have to check this one out when mother is not looking (or reading my mind).
