I think they should actually try for the DS. Make the game a bit more compact, use a Diablo 2 like engine(if the DS is powerful enough) and implement as many of the new featues as possible. The DS has the option of having either perfect mouse-like control with the stylus with buttons being used for commands or have the dpad used for movement and the entire bottom screen used as hot keys you can tap with the stylus.

The original Diablo was on a Playstation too.

 They made Starcraft (and i think it included brood war, not sure) for Nintendo 64, the controls were awful if you played it for the PC, but i definitely hoping for what my sig says lol

it seems my topic wasnt useless,but i still dont think it will come but this proves it has a shot to come to consoles

it won't happen. blizzard likes their games to be perfect, from what we can see, gimping the game to try to fit it on consoles would go against Blizzards ideals.

In any case if it does go console 3-1 says that it goes Xbox/Pc at least timed exclusively.

Remember, it's "Blizzard-Activision" now. :(

And Activision bought them to strengthen their PC market...they're not going to force console ports.

I think Diablo is a game best suited for a mouse, an analog joystick cannot possibly match it in speed and accuracy.  If there's a spot on the screen where you want to put up a wall of zombies, you can click there in a fraction of a second.  With a joystick, it's impossible.  Either they'd do away with a reticle for consoles, or it'd take forever to get from, say, the bottom right of the screen to the top left.  You'd be getting raped by the hordes of enemies surrounding you.  If they made it much faster, you'd lose accuracy and precision.  If they did away with the reticle, you wouldn't be able to attack from range or cast spells or send pets or anything special.

Vivendi (which owns Blizzard) purchased Activision, not the other way around. (correct me if I'm wrong).

Yes you're right, it's late and I mistyped that hehe.

It's still the purpose of the merger though...Blizzard does what it does to keep the company's PC presence, especially in Asia where it's so popular.
