I remember playing the first Broken Sword game on the Game Boy Advance. The point and click adventure game opened my eyes to the Knights Templar and their mysteries, way before Brown’s Da Vinci Code was published. The game’s puzzles and riddles had me hooked until I finally beat the game.

That’s the last time the franchise has been seen in a Nintendo console. The long wait is over when Revolution Games has been confirmed by Nintendo for the game to be made for the Wii and DS. Ubisoft is said to be the publishing arm for the game.

Revolution Games has long expressed interest for a Broken Sword DS game. It has even put up an online petition to survey the views of the game’s fans. I guess the petition helped with Nintendo’s decision to bring the game to the DS and Wii.

No official word yet on whether the games would be direct ports of the Broken Sword games for the PC or if it’s a new game altogether. Revolution Games announcement of the confirmation can be viewed here.
