NEVES: it's 'seven' backwards

Siliconera sat down with Yuke's Company of America representative Ken Koyama to chat about their upcoming puzzle game, NEVES. A DS puzzle game is something of a departure for a company best known for WWE wrestling games (and also known, uh, by me as the developer of the weird Playstation fighting game Evil Zone), so it's somewhat interesting that Yuke's decided to do this.

In Japan, where the game is called Hamekomi Lucky Puzzle, it actually carries a license: that of the Hanayama Toy Company, whose Lucky Puzzle is a popular toy. We're impressed that rather than simply cloning their tangram game, Yuke's sought a partnership with Hanayama for the DS game. It's also nice to see Yuke's (and Siliconera) giving some attention to what is destined to fly miles under the radar.
