These screenshots from the Detective Conan follow-up (full title: Detective Conan Kieta Hakase to Machigai Sagashi no Tou) transport us back to a less complicated age, when our younger selves would fill idle afternoons with "Spot the Difference" puzzles. Hence, we really like the concept behind this game -- identifying inconsistencies between two images -- but there's just one problem: these puzzles look ridiculously easy.We appreciate that only so much detail can be squeezed into the DS's dainty screens, but hopefully the difficulty will be ramped up further on in the game.
Sleuth your way past the break for a further five shots.

Should I assume that a Goofus and Gallant game is on its way?

Crud... Why don't they do more Phoenix Wright-like than guess the differences?

I think the reason why the puzzles are so ridiculously easy is because the game is probably more aimed at the kids. I tried the first game thinking it would be like one of the old GB titles I had (more adventure game-like and involving actual case-solving) and it turned out to be a bunch of stupid mini-game puzzles meant to train your "detective skills".

I dunno what made this trendy all of a sudden, but at Popcap the #1 game is "Adventures of the Lost Tomb", which is an (insanely difficult!) spot-the-difference puzzler. I guess it's just a thing.
