Runaway 2 coming to DS in surprisingly complete form

Runaway: Dream of the Turtle, a cel-shaded French adventure game that is part of a big hit series in Europe (adventure game? hit? Wow.) is being ported to the DS by French developer Cyanide. In order to get the game onto the DS in an unedited format, they've managed to compress down all the art to a DS-capable size. But rather than shrinking everything down to fit on two 256x192 screens, they decided to keep it larger, allowing players to view the game in a more shrunken-down display, and zoom in to more detailed visuals at any point.

The video contains some information on the difficulty involved in porting a PC game requiring half a gig of RAM to the DS. It also shows off some of the DS footage, which really doesn't look bad, especially for a fully 3D game like this. But to be honest, we're happy to have a little bit of compression obscuring our view of that character art.
