Ever wondered what Pocketpair's Pokemon with Guns game Palworld could have looked like in 2006? An impressive new Palworld Nintendo DS Demake video gives an impression.
Palworld has been an amazing success for the Japanese developer across both PC and Xbox. More than 19 million players have played the title since its launch, and more than 12 million copies have been sold through Steam alone (up from its initial 8 million sales within a week). As expected, shortly after the game's launch, modders released actual Pokemon mods for the title, but these were quickly taken out by Nintendo. Afterward, Nintendo-owned The Pokémon Company released a statement, stating that it would 'investigate' the game due to possible IP infringements related to Pokémon.

No matter how you put it, the resemblance with the Pokémon franchise is clear, and we now have a video showing how PocketPair's game could have looked like if it was a Nintendo DS title. Like most of its demake videos, the video from YouTube channel '64 Bits' is impressive, and it looks like a game that we might have played on Nintendo's handheld back in 2006. It's clear that this demake features the art style and gameplay of the Nintendo DS Pokémon titles. Check out the video below and judge for yourself:
Of course, this is merely a concept video and not a game that can actually be downloaded. Still, we're pretty sure that fans will appreciate this Palworld Nintendo DS demake video.
Palworld is available now for PC and Xbox (through Game Pass). Here's what we wrote about the game in our impressions article last month:
Overall, Palworld is a neat survival game that only feels like it borrows the Pokemon aesthetic. The game is a fun venture, especially with multiple players as they share your adventure with you. Palworld isn't too hard in its Normal setting, but you can still give yourself a challenge through the game's Hard difficulty if you so wish.

Though Nintendo is known for mobile consoles — Game Boy, DS, Nintendo Switch — it’s never really been known as a mobile game developer, i.e., a studio making games for your phone. But that’s not to say that Nintendo hasn’t done so. In fact, you can count the number of Nintendo mobile games on two hands. Since 2016, Nintendo has released eight games that qualify, a strategy that’s tied to the failure of the Wii U.
Is that Ellie from The Last of Us we see in this trailer for mobile zombie shooter Doomsday: Last Survivors? No, on closer inspection, this is a character called Peggy – who’s basically Ellie. In fact, pretty much all of the game’s characters look agonisingly similar to someone more popular; Cynthia Calamity is effectively Jill Valentine from Resident Evil and Catherine Calamity looks a lot like Juliet Starling from Lollipop Chainsaw.

The Steam version of Palworld now features two achievements related to the upcoming raid boss, but they are impossible for players to unlock at the time of this writing.

Does a co-op multiplayer Spider-Man game from Insomniac sound like something you’d want to play? Well, sorry, while it was in the works, it’s no longer in production. For a while we heard rumblings a multiplayer Spidey project was happening, but then as part of Sony’s recent step back from their (over) ambitious live service plans, the project was reportedly canceled. And that would usually be that, but the massive Insomniac Games leak from late last year is still yielding new information, including a trailer for that canceled multiplayer project, entitled Spider-Man: The Great Web.
