Gauntlet DS (http://www.joystiq.com/2008/04/07/eidos-shoots-the-food-confirms-gauntlet-for-ds/) has been removed or changed to a nebulous status on several retail sites. GoNintendo (http://gonintendo.com/?p=71387) took notice that the title was removed from GameStop; allegedly, Amazon told customers that the game had been "canceled." Furthermore, Eidos no longer makes any mention of the title on its site.

A source familiar with the development of the title has confirmed to Joystiq that Gauntlet DS has indeed been scrapped; however, we've contacted both Eidos and developer Backbone Entertainment to learn what has (or hasn't) befallen the DS dungeon crawler. We'll update as soon as we hear something official.

I probably would've picked this up for $15-20. Oh well.

That's a bummer.

(Even with the fact that the dude on the cover looked a little too much like Seanbaby.)

Thats bad news, Gauntlet was always a favorite, shame younger generations will have less exposure to this classic.

If it was anything like seven sorrows, i won't miss it.

if it was like, say, gauntlet 4 or legends, damn, what a loss.

Retro Gamer magazine did a little article about the game and made it sound pretty good. I hope they do release it. If not, then those magazine review copies will be worth quite a bit in the future!
