Nintendo is releasing Crosswords DS for the Nintendo DS. Crosswords DS contains 1,000 different crossword puzzles with varying skill levels. Crosswords DS takes advantage of the touch screen and has players write their answer using the stylus and the touch screen. If you write an incorrect word, just write the correct word over the wrong word.

The puzzles get bigger and harder as you progress through the game. Don’t worry about getting stuck on a puzzle because there is a hint button that will lend a hand. The hint button allows players to determine the level of help. Players can choose to get a letter to the correct word or get the entire word they are stuck on.

Crosswords DS contains more than just crossword puzzles. Players have the option of finding hidden words in the 200 different word search puzzles or making as many words as possible on the Anagram puzzles.

Crosswords DS sounds like a great game for gamers that like word games. The Nintendo DS gives players the ability to carry the fairly small DS and still have access to many different types of word games without having to carry around three different types of puzzle books.

Press Release Follows:

REDMOND, Wash., May 5, 2008 – Mario’s parent company (8 letters). Letter-based puzzles (10 letters). Dual screen, abbr. (2 letters).

Today’s launch of Crosswords DS for the portable Nintendo DS™ video game system puts more than 1,000 crossword puzzles into the palm of your hand. Crosswords DS includes puzzles at multiple skill levels, so anyone from beginners to experts can give it a try. As you progress, the puzzles get bigger and more challenging. Because you write all your answers directly on the touch screen with your stylus, there’s no need for erasers – just write your new answer over your old one. Crosswords DS also includes a sophisticated hint system if you get stuck. Just tap the Hint button with your stylus and choose to receive another clue, reveal a hidden letter or solve the whole word.

“Crosswords DS brings crossword puzzles into the 21st century in a way that’s accessible to everyone,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “And because Nintendo DS is so light and portable, you can play it anywhere at any time.”

Crossword puzzles aren’t the only classic word games found in Crosswords DS. There are also more than 200 Wordsearch puzzles that let you hunt for hidden words amid a jumble of letters. For more word fun, you can turn to Anagrams and construct almost endless combinations of words from a handful of letters.

Crosswords DS, with its quick and accessible word challenges, is the latest in the Touch Generations line of Nintendo DS games. Previous games include Brain Age®: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day, Brain Age® 2: More Training in Minutes a Day and Flash Focus™: Vision Training in Minutes a Day.
