Possible New Adaptations: Sam and Max DS?
There's quite a bit of room on the system, maybe not enough for as much depth as the Wii, but if adapted, it could do quite well.
With the touch screen and seperate screens interface, you could easily make one screen the game and the other inventory/character talk.
Many fans of the Lucasarts original did just fine without voice and just text on the PC, but it's likely you could fit a quite a few sentences on the DS, and it has both the option of 2D and 3D as well.
(Hell, they crammed Mario 64 on there!)
If you look at some titles like Animal Crossing, Hotel Dusk : Room 215 and others, you can see the adventure game potential in it.
(Hotel Dusk also gets you to turn the DS side on like a book-like angle, another neat trick for adventure games.)
Hell, who says it need be one of the main PC titles adapted over? It could just be another of their tales untold elsewhere, exclusive to the DS.
You'd easily get minigames like the the homage "whack da rat" on there, among other ideas.
What do TellTale Games and non-staff think?

I think it's entirely feasible, and would be cool, but the problem in my mind is that Telltale only seems to have enough staff to work on one game at a time. The problem then is, when and how would they make a DS game? They could sublet the license to another company, but that might not have the same feel... or they could do it between seasons...
Also, since there's no plausible way for them to do digital distribution or episodic releases on DS, there's a much bigger financial risk.
So while I'd love to see Sam & Max on DS, and I'm sure they'd fit well there, we'll probably have to wait until after Season 2 makes Telltale rich and famous
Do you have a team for Bone? You should do!
Regardless I'd totally buy Sam and Max for the DS.
I think I remember them saying that the Bone team pretty much became the Sam & Max team.
Hah phoenix wright is laughable. I explained some of the things as they happened to a lawyer friend and he was hilarioused:D
But you also have to consider that a) it's probably leaned more towards the Japanese legal system (with some American thrown in to taste) and b) Even then it's not gonna be exactly the same as Japan's either.
So in otherwords: I play it more for the characters and the story than realism
Ahh..so many systems, so little time. I did however just get a PSP to play with....
