A new Nintendo DS game called Sudoku Gridmaster makes it easy for Sudoku lovers to take Sudoku puzzles on the road. Here is some information about the game from the press release.
"The Nintendo DS touch-screen controls make it easy for players to write, change and save their answers," says George Harrison, Nintendo of America's senior vice president of marketing and corporate communications. "Sudoku Gridmaster is one of the many ways Nintendo is getting new audiences involved in video games."
Sudoku Gridmaster contains four levels of difficulty, giving sudoku novices and experts alike a variety of challenging puzzles. Players use logic to fill a grid with numbers. It sounds simple, but its addictive nature has helped to make sudoku one of the most popular puzzle games in the world. Sudoku Gridmaster also adds some features to enhance the experience in ways not possible when doing the puzzle on paper. With a touch, players can highlight an entire row or column. Or they can highlight all instances of numbers at once. And of course, a grid can be saved for hours or days before the player plays again.
The press release also said that Sudoku Gridmaster is one of the first titles in Nintendo's new Touch Generations brand, which "highlights titles with appeal beyond core gamers." That's true. You wouldn't think of Sudoku first as a video game like you would Halo or Tetris. But you also wouldn't think of Monopoly or Bridge as a video games and yet versions of them and many other board, puzzle and card games have been made into popular video games. There is a market for electronic versions of games that have been played by generations in a non-digital format. Touch Generations also produces Nintendogs, which sold over a million copies. More information about Sudoku Gridmaster can be found on the Nintendo.com and on Amazon.com.
