Crave announces Sudokuro for the DS

Leading casual console games publisher Crave Entertainment revealed today their plans to publish Sudokuro for the DS, giving puzzle fans another reason to grab a DS for themselves.

“The Sudoku and Kakuro puzzle phenomenon is still going strong and appeals to all ages,” remarked Sheri Snow, Director of Marketing for Crave Ent. “With unlimited replay, a special mode for kids, and the stylus input with handwriting recognition, this game is a natural fit for the Nintendo DS.”

Sudokuro will include both the incredibly popular and highly addictive Sudoku and Kakuro logic games. It contains 1,500 hand-crafted Sudoku puzzles and an unlimited number of automatically Sudoku puzzles, and over 5,000 Kakuro puzzles.

According to USA Today, Sudoku has “become the morning brain breakfast for millions of commuters”, and the New York Times comments, “no puzzle has had such a fast introduction in newspapers since the crossword craze of 1924-25.” Kakuro, which has often been called a mathematical translation of the crossword, is second in popularity only to Sudoku in Japan.

Sudokuro is expected to be available in January for a retail price of US$ 19.99.
