if snatcher was ported over what system would you want it ported on? ps3,xbox360, wii, psp or ds and why?
i think snatcher would best be suited on a portable or the virtual console on wii, but i think the ds would be the best choice, reason being is the the shooting part, you would use the touch pad and for the most part gameplay wise it is like pheonix wright, but if they made it a portable it would be bad for me because i would never put it down.
so what do you guys think?

screw ports. I may get a cd this week (doing some trading and depending on cash value versus trade I may get a cd via trade instead of cash) in which case a copy of snatcher is a must

DS, please. You could manipulate the menus with the touch screen. In fact, the shooting sequences would be perfect too.
Man...Snatcher on the DS....that would fucking rock.

Snatcher on the DS would be my second favorite game next to Hotel Dusk Room 215. I second the DS as the place for Snatcher.
Sadly, I still need a copy of Snatcher. What a damn fine game.
Spoon waits for Shadowgate and Dejau Vu DS.

SNATCHER 2 ALREADY.
Yeah, forget Snatcher, let's see an official English release of Policenauts.

I can deal with the translation coming out Q4 2007. Oh wait...
Well we did get official translations of Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake finally so here's hoping that we'll see Snatcher and Policenauts show up as modern US retail releases one day. :)

Didn't Policenauts get an unofficial translation a while back?
Or not, my mind might just be confusing it with something similar.

It's still being worked on, unfortunately.

(Unfortunately, it's just a "port" of the demo from the PC Engine version which was called Snatcher Pilot. It only plays through the first scene in the abandoned factory. Still, it gives a small glimpse of how cool it would be if Konami did a full port.)

If the next port is going to be like the most recent ports (i.e. Saturn and Playstation), then I hope not. So far, the Sega CD is hard to top and any changes will do more harm than good. It's best bet is with Wii's VCS instead of DS.
Many people forget Snatcher is more of a digital comic than a game. It requires a lot of reading, a difficult task to be done with the DS's screen, and half the game is spoken dialogue, if you're in a loud or noisy place, you'll be missing out on many good scenes.
Snatcher is something best experience at home with a large screen and surround sound stereo. Oh yeah!!

Wii, so switching to lightgun mode would be that much simpler, and no reduced resolition issues the DS could have (if the DS res is indeed less than PCE CD / Sega CD).
