Puzzler World for Nintendo DS/DSi: Boost your brain and prove your puzzling prowess (News)

If you are an avid fan of puzzle games and also an owner of a Nintendo DS/DSi game console then you probably already know the two are a perfect match just meant for each other. Yet, although it seems the people who designed the world's most popular game console had puzzle gaming in mind, you are also likely to be aware of how few NDS/DSi puzzle games are available when one actually wants to play.

Forget Sudoku. Kakuro: get your koat. Picross is the logic-based mind-meddler of champions.
