We didn't think the awesome Picross DS would ever find its way out of Japan. But Nintendo surprised us, as they tend to do now and then, by announcing that the puzzler will get a European release on May 11th.They're branding this as part of the Touch Generations series, and mention that it will include 300 puzzles, and features like a "Daily Picross" mode, puzzle creation (with Wi-Fi sharing),and unlockable minigames. For the Americans out there who feel left out-- don't worry! Even if Nintendo doesn't release Picross DS, this European version will have English text, so it's still good news for you, if you don't mind importing!

Pardon the ignorance, but what on earth is Picross? I see the "picture crossword" thing on the logo, but I'm still pretty confused. If someone could explain it, or better, link to a Picross clone for the PC, that would help immensely.

Argh! I just imported this from Japan last week. It's really amazing, but it sucks that I could have waiting a bit longer to import one in English. And not have to use a katakana cheat sheet. Oh well, there's really not much text in the game anyway -- and I wonder if the Euro release will have the weekly downloadable classic levels that the Japanese version does.
