DAE think Terraria would make a great Nintendo DS Game?

I've been thinking it over for the past couple of days and can't seem to figure out why not. Do you guys think this could happen?

No. I would have to be completely re-written from the ground up, because it currently uses XNA.

Concept wise, YES. Reality wise, probably not. Would be cool to see it in 3D as well.

I would love this too, but this imposes the problem of only being able to touch the bottom screen to build, and only seeing 3d on the top screen.

If you don't mind the DS' processor turning into a lump of molten slag, sure.

The ds (and especially the 3ds) is a powerful system, It would have no problem running a 2D sprite game. However, I think the biggest problem would be controls, and image quality from being zoomed out so far.

For example, somebody has basically ported over minecraft to the ds as a homebrew application. If a ds can run minecraft, It could definately run terraria. Here is a video of it in action

I would rather an Android version.

sounds like a good idea, but i doubt we would ever see it though...

Other than the fact that Red is the only person who can do this and most definitely won't, Terraria would make a great DS game.
