I have a Nintendo DS so I will be picking it up for sure. I don't even care if it sucks, I'll buy it just to support the Buffy franchise.

Think my mum has a DS. I'll probably pick this up too. Maybe if it sells well there will be renewed interest for Buffy games. This will likely be very cheap to develop compared to a Wii or 360 game so it should turn a profit, but at the same time it also indicates a level of faith that's not as high as we'd like. Still it's pretty cool to get a game at all.

This is great news, but sucks for me. I don't have a DS, and I'm not sure I want to buy one just to play this one game. Yea, I'm not much of a videogamer.
Hopefully they'll have something come out for PS2, because that's the only system that I have, and the only system I'll probably have for a good long while.
But WOO!!

Good news but why is it only coming out for the Nintendo. What about the X-Box 360 or Playstation. I hope that if this game does well for the Nintendo then the other consels will follow up with a another game.

I hope that if this game does well for the Nintendo then the other consels will follow up with a another game. Well this is a Nintendo DS game, which is a completely different system than the 360 or PS3. The game would have to be made differently (and with a lot more money) in order to come out for thee 360, PS3, and even Wii. Hopefully this game is a "testing the water" sort of thing and more games will follow.

Thanks for posting this Mikey! Blessing for you! The graphics look a little "cring-worthy" but I think I will try to get this when it comes out. Anything to help get more Buffy games (and maybe more on other platforms too).

It will be interesting to see how pucka the story is. It'll likely be bull; but it'd also be oddly satisfying finally getting a confrontation with the first.
His credits have escaped me... what the hell did Rob Deshotel do on Buffy?

Thanks Wyndam, but... "Buffy the Vampire Slayer: Sacrifice will be available exclusively throughout Europe on Nintendo DS November 2008."?!?! I also just checked Gamespot and they have as an "EU" release!
I'm worried.

I also just checked Gamespot and they have as an "EU" release! I'm worried. I wouldn't worry too much. Since Buffy has such a large fanbase in the states, I would imagine we'll get it here as well. That's just too much potential money they wouldn't make if it was just released in Europe.

He was a writer on: The Puppet Show Killed By Death Never Kill a Boy on the First Date The Dark Age Phases I think he co-wrote most with Dean Batali

Did he even bother to watch Chosen? Sunnydale is a crater. There is no Sunnydale High, or Bronze to explore! LOL!

I bet it will be explained in the game, I mean, Spike, Angel, The Master, The First and Caleb will also be in it. Maybe some sort of dimenson thingy.

Yeah I'm frankly not even worrying about the storyline. As long as the story works with the game, I'll be happy with whatever they throw at us.

There are three more screenshots here including one of the Library: uk.media.ds.ign.com/media/142/14266118/imgs_1.htmlI wouldn't worry too much. Since Buffy has such a large fanbase in the states, I would imagine we'll get it here as well. That's just too much potential money they wouldn't make if it was just released in Europe. I do hope we get the game here in the States, but right now it just seems like a Europe release. Everywhere online says November 2008 for Europe and Unreleased for America. 505 Games is a UK company that makes their games in PAL format, so it wouldn't play on our systems. "Exclusivily around Europe" does make it sound kind of.... exclusive.
