n-Space has confirmed that it’s to develop Modern Warfare 3 or DS. The studio already has experience in bringing a CoD game to DS, having made platform-specific editions of MW1 and 2, World at War and Black Ops. There’s no 3DS version, though. n-Space responded by saying on its Facebook page that: “You guys all need to understand that we make the games we are hired to make. It is not our call to decide which platforms to support.” A date wasn’t mentioned, but you can probably guess it’ll release alongside the other SKUs on November 8.

Thanks, EG.
