All is forgiven? Giana Sisters to make commercial DS debut
The air's a bit thick with irony with the announcement that publisher dtp and developer Spellbound will be releasing a new version of The Great Giana Sisters for the DS, Nintendo having, on original C64 release, pressured the game off the shelves for its overt similarity to Super Mario Bros.
For its part, the new version looks to have rightly ditched its Mushroom Kingdom garb entirely, and honestly sounds like a labor of love, having tapped composer Fabian Del Priore -- known in classic computing days as 'Rapture' and now part of the Play! game music/symphony tour -- to remix and update its soundtrack.
The game is expected to be released in June 2009.

Press release, and neither dtp nor Spellbound have set up a site for the game yet, unfortunately.

One question, only: Will Chris Huelsbeck do the music? All else is irrelevant.

Since he did for the flash remix, I would imagine so.
