The Bible now on DS

chautemoc | March 14, 2008 | News | DS 
A homebrew application has been created for DS to allow Bible thumpers everywhere to bring the Holy Book with them wherever they like. It's just a matter of time now before someone starts selling a Bible themed casing for the DS (a cross-shaped D-pad, no?).
This software has been created for ease of use, and allows you to quickly switch from one verse or book to another. Speaking of books, there are five different translations available: KJV, ASV, BBE, WEB, and NET.

    What the hell? No seriously what the hell? Who's going to what to by this when you can go get a REAL bible that won't waste power.

      The electronic version is more portable for most people and, unlike the pocket-sized versions, the text will be larger, making it easier to read. It would also appeal more to the younger audience and might actually encourage them to read the Bible more often now that they can do it on the DS.

      ...Wait, they have KJV but not NIV? Damn.

    Finally! It only took them 2008 years. This title has been delayed for longer than Duke Nukem Forever.

      Maybe he would've said that about Bible Adventures on NES though.

        Jack didn't even know video games existed back then.

        If only he would return to that state of ignorance...

    Is it really that hard to carry a book, that you must shrink it to game card size? Not to mention, why on a video game console?

    Go buy a real bible, if you have to play a game to read the bible you have a problem.

      How is this not a "real Bible"?

        It's a real Bible; it's just on something the real Bible really shouldn't be on in the first place. It contradicts everything about the Bible, practically.

          Why? Used this way, it's essentially a condensed book.

    I laughed my ass off at Xenc'ts First comment.

    I also thought they meant an actual game based on Jesus and friends.. I can imagine it now...

    The Vatican presents..

    The Bible: The officially licensed Game!

    Utilize all of Jesus' Astounding powers! For the first time ever in a video game Walk on water and force choke the non believers!

    The complete holy book!: from Adam and eve to the second coming experience all of the wonder and excitement of the holy book!
    coming October 2008.


    I've always wanted to be nailed to a 2X4 in a video game!

    Interesting...sort of weird to think about though. You wouldn't expect religion to start getting invloved with video games (more than it already has) to this degree.
