About this game
Giana Sisters DS is a modern 2009 remake of the cult game The Great Giana Sisters from the year 1987.
The original game appeared on the C64 and Amiga, but had to be pulled from the shelves after Nintendo threatened to sue over similarities to the Super Mario games .

Surprisingly, more than 20 years later the sisters make an appearance on the Nintendo DS.
Giana Sisters DS is a classic platformer.
Giana is caught in a dream world and must now recover her lost diamonds and find a way to the mysterious castle.
The game features more than 80 new levels (i.e. is not a one-to-one remake), but includes the original game as an unlockable.
There are also new special items that make use of the features of the DS.
Giana can, for example, collect a bubble gum item that can be activated using the touch screen.
The bubble enables Giana to fly and is controlled by blowing into the microphone.
Another new feature is a world map that allows the player to select and replay levels.
About Nintendo DS
The dual-screen, touch-enabled Nintendo DS (2004) became the best-selling handheld of all time, helped by its huge and genre-diverse library. Cartridge-based DS games have held up well physically over 20 years, and complete-in-box copies of the system's biggest sellers (Nintendogs, Pokémon, Mario Kart) remain very accessible for new collectors starting out.
Gamevaro tracks Giana Sisters DS for Nintendo DS with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Giana Sisters DS to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NDS release dates back to 2011.
