About a year ago we reported about a little unknown game called "Great Giana Sisters" that was released back in 1985 to compete with Nintendo's Super Mario Bros. Well, Great Giana Sisters was forced off the shelves by Nintendo - you can read about the history and how you can play the original Great Giana Sisters here. Over 20 years has past and it looks like the Giana Sisters will be back with a new game and this time Nintendo welcomes them with open arms. Coming this April (03.04.2009), dtp entertainment and publisher Spellbound Entertainment will be bring us The Great Giana Sisters for Nintendo DS! The game was directed by the original creator, Armin Gessert. According to the official website, the new Great Giana Sisters will offer over 80 new levels and will take advantage of the DS's cool features like blowing into the DS mic (not sure what that's all about! :P )
