A few months back, we reported that Electronic Arts Japan quietly announced the development of Populous DS, a remake of the god game created by Peter Molyneux. Well, now we've got additional information on this sweet little game, in the form of DS screenshots and a release date and price for the game!

According to Dengeki Online, the game is slated for a Japanese release on February 21, 2008 with a retail price of 4980 yen (US$ 45). Populous DS will also allow for four-player gaming via a wireless connection.

For those who don't remember Populous, the game essentially placed you in the role of a god who has to help people into becoming a prosperous civilization by directing, manipulating, and intervening in the affairs of the mortals. It started a whole genre of "god games" as well, ushering in a new form of strategic gaming.

In any case, you can now enjoy a ton of screenshots for the game courtesy of Dengeki Online. Let's hope the game makes it to American and European shores, so we can all enjoy another taste of godhood. Till then, enjoy!
