This is quite possibly the most fantastic thing I've read about since Desperate Housewives landed on my PC: Coronation Street, denizen of British values and cultural pulse of Middle England, is set to make its interactive debut on the Nintendo DS.
Of course, as the most accessible, mainstream console out there, it makes sense that Bet and the gang will be transformed into pixels for the handheld machine. But what, pray tell, will people do on the Street? Will it be an interactive story in the vein of Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney? Or will it be a hack-and-slasher, as insults are fired across the Rovers like pint glasses flying through the air? No, that would be EastEnders Interactive.
Next up, an Ambridge text adventure on your phone. I can just see it now: Do you choose to a) shear the sheep, b) have a cuppa with your neighbour or c) bake a cake for the summer Fete?
Can you tell that I don't watch soaps?
