Blizzard on DS?
Signs point to the possibility of Diablo or Starcraft on the dual-screen system.

July 18, 2005 - Blizzard's latest newsletter mailing, the Blizzard Insider, has requested input from recipients, gauging interest in the possibility of Diablo II on the Nintendo DS and PSP, as well as a version of Starcraft on the Nintendo DS.

The developer/publisher is clearly looking at reader responses before jumping into PSP and Nintendo DS development, and utilizing the strength of its own IPs for the potential first products on the portable systems.

Blizzard isn't new to the handheld scene -- the company had previously ported three of its Super NES classics, Blackthorne, Rock 'n Roll Racing and The Lost Vikings on the Game Boy Advance more than a year ago.

Starcraft on a handheld would be pretty cool.

Starcraft would do pretty well on both consoles. The DS version (if it exists) may require a smidge more coding (besides the obvious touch screen) but I think it would work out well in the end :D
