Updated Battles of Prince of Persia - First Facts
![](/images/newsthumbs/nothing.jpg)
The prince is back, but not in its original form... Konami would've surely called this game "Prince of Persia Acid" instead of Battles of Prince of Persia. Update More facts and the first five screenshots of the game to be found inside...
Instead the original action-packed Prince of Persia games we already knew, Ubisoft has decided to take a different approach for the Nintendo DS version: card-based battling!
Set between the stories of Sands of Time and Warrior Within, the prince 'accidentally' starts a war between Persia and India by releasing an ancient evil. In the game, players will command units and troops, as well as control fights via a card-battle system.
Currently, both single and multiplayer features are said to be included. Where the single-card wireless feature will allow head-to-head battles, players will also be able to play a hotseat game with friends using only one Nintendo DS, or trade cards with other players.
Whether this game replaces the earlier announced Prince of Persia: Warrior Within or is a second Prince of Persia-game for the Nintendo DS, remains unknown for the moment.

Please let this be a different title to the previously anounced game. However I think this game may actually be quite good, just wonder wether it will be 3D or not.
This game is 2D!
yea... It uses cel-shading.
boo-hoo it's 2D....you peole sicken me. :| I dunno..I like my Prince OF Persia...I hope they didn't screw this up.
the top screen of the prince in image 1 looks really kool, only if the whole game was like that.
The games effects look quite nice, i never expected P.O.P on DS to be this, looks good so far! PS: I'm back, I'll start posting news on Sunday/Monday
You were gone for a while, Skarma? Where were you? =?
It looks 3D to me, ala Age of Empires... Isn't there still a traditional 3D PoP game in development for the DS? I remember gba.n64europe reported a while back that Warrior Within DS was pushed back to 2006...
