Yes, it seems to be a rather tortuous process for devs to get permission for an Nintendo release I know that the devs of "Ports of Call" the maritime business simulation (which first appeared on the Amiga) have been trying for over 2 years to get a license from Nintendo to release a version for the DS. It does make you wonder how many other great games are waiting in the wings!

In the meantime the only naval themed game is Steel Horizon a strategy title with 3d tactical sequences. The strategy part is not bad but the tactical sequences are a bit of a let down as they are time limited to a mere sixty seconds in each encounter.
