Best of E3 06: Nintendo DS

Best rebirth of a doomed franchise: Lunar Knights

Publisher: Konami
Developer: Kojima Productions
Release Date: Fall 2006

What do you do when nobody's buying your brilliant, sun-sensitive action RPG series? Chuck the tech, add a character and move the whole shebang to the DS under a brand new title. Lunar Knights is basically a new entry in the Boktai series, but the pain of waiting for a sunny day to play the game is completely removed. Instead, artifical weather - which adds a heck of a lot more gameplay depth than a real sun sensor ever did - will shine or gloom from the DS' top screen.
