Overlord is out to conquer multiple platforms on 2009 including the Nintendo Wii and DS. Codemasters announced that it will be releasing Overlord: Dark Legend for the Wii and Overlord Minions for the DS. Plus it will also put out Overlord II for the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC.

Lennart Sas, director and Overlord lead at the Triumph Studios, has this to say about the pending titles:

“It’s also great to see the series reaching new formats. The creativity being packed into the design for Overlord Dark Legend on Wii and Overlord Minions on Nintendo DS make great use of the platforms’ unique features and are perfect extensions to the Overlord series.”

Overlord: Dark Legend for the Wii will have players will play the role of a new young Overlord. With the Wii Remote, you have to control your minions as you try to protect your kingdom against the land’s other inhabitants.

Overlord: Minions for the DS lets you control your minions using the stylus. You’ll be directing the minions’ movements, attacks and all other actions. It would be a puzzle game so you have to figure out how to use the minions correctly in order to advance.

I give a full review on these as soon as they’re released.
