Platform theft

Some games just come out on the wrong platform. A classic example is Lemmings. When it was re-released a couple of years ago, it came out on the PSP. It worked well with a mouse, but with the dismal analogue 'nubbin' on the PSP? Nope. But imagine it on the DS, with the touch screen and stylus. It would be absolutely incredible.

And the same again has just happened. They've announced Rez HD on the Xbox 360. Rez was a vastly underappreciated game on the Dreamcast and PS2. I was one of the few who bought a copy, and I absolutely love it, though Will has had it for at least a year. But the platform it should be on is the Wii. Imagine using the Wiimote to move the cursor around the screen...

Damn it.
