This here is a trailer for Boulder Dash ROCKS!, coming in November to the DS and PSP. For those too young to remember, Boulder Dash is an 8-bit classic from the days of the Commodore 64, where little Rockford would burrow through various levels collecting gems whilst avoiding falling boulders. This new version brings the franchise bang up to date whilst (hopefully) retaining the core characteristics that made it so fun. Kinda like “Tomb Raider” and “Tomb Raider Anniversary“, except that Rockford doesn’t have breasts.

The interesting thing about the trailer is that Rockford’s platform of choice is the Nintendo DS, whilst the evil giant squid next to him prefers to play using a PSP. The squid eventually gets his comeuppance by being crushed under a boulder. Intentionally or otherwise, the makers of the trailer are implying that the DS is the handheld of champions. Or perhaps we’re reading too much into it?
