Two New Simple DS Games in Japan

The Simple DS series, despite being not as simple price-wise as its PS2 sister series, already has five entries out at Japanese retail, with no signs of a slowdown. The latest Famitsu is home to the announcement of two new entries.


First up is Simple DS Series Vol.7 The Illust Puzzle & Suuji Puzzle. The Japanese translates to "The Illustration Puzzle and Number Puzzle," although both of the included puzzle types actually involve numbers. The "Number Puzzle" mode seems to be a mini version of Sudoku. Digital Ware is developing this title, which is set for Japanese release in April.
Vol.5 The Trump will follow the release of Vol.7. Seventeen card games are included in this entry, which is being developed by Vanguard Works. A Japanese release is set for June.

Both games offer multiplayer play for up to four players. This includes download play, so those without the games will be able to take part in the simple fun.

Acute readers will note that there's somewhat of a conflict in the numbering for the Simple DS series titles. Vol.5 The Tennis has now been changed to Vol.XX The Tennis, with the XX to be replaced by a number at a later date.
