Heres an excerpt:
Gumpei Yokoi, the creator of the WonderSwan system (as well as countless Nintendo properties before the company let him go after the Virtual Boy debacle), never saw his system hit retail due to a car accident that cut his life short in 1997, but Bandai honored his life by naming the premiere WonderSwan game "Gunpey," a play on his name. Gunpey may have been born on the now-defunct Bandai handheld, but the company's ready to bring the game to other properties: Gunpey DS will be shipping later this year and we've been given an early look at the upcoming touch screen version.
Gunpey is an action puzzler with a very simple concept: slide tiles vertically in their column in such a fashion that forms lines that connect one side of the bin to the other. Doing this will remove the tiles from play, leaving room for other tiles to enter the action. Combos can be formed by manipulating other tiles into the network while it's activated, creating multiple chains of lines that link both sides of the playfield.
