Ubisoft curls up with the DS for a winter sports game [update]

An
ESRB rating has been assigned to a mysterious new game called
Curling DS. This is either:
- a game based on the bizarre (yet popular!) sport in which players slide a rock down some ice and sweep in front of it
- an exercise game that focuses only on working your arms, or
- a hair styling game.
To be honest, we would be equally amused by any of these! We are guessing, however, that it's going to be the first one. Could this be a localized version of Rocket Company's
Minna no DS Curling (pictured)
? Ubisoft (the publisher listed in the ESRB rating) has been known to pick up
obscure Japanese titles before!
[Update: a news item on Rocket Company's site confirms that Ubisoft has licensed
Minna no DS Curling.]

I still can't explain why I can watch a curling tournament but not an mlb baseball game. I'm not saying it's right, I just can't explain it.

Believe it or not, there is a pretty solid curling game already on Ubisoft's Imagine Figure Skater. You can only play 3 ends though. I would "imagine" that they are localising Minna no DS Curling for a primarily Canadian audience.
