New at Japanese DS stations: Yosumin, Winning Eleven

Japanese DS owners (i.e. everybody) will have some new demos to try at DS download stations this month, in the form of Square Enix's puzzle game Yosumin and Konami's adorably named World Soccer Winning Eleven DS Goal x Goal! We're hoping that the availability of both of these games will lead to more information, especially about Yosumin. We've already learned from the screens that Winning Eleven features a slot machine that dispenses attribute points.

Yosumin
is the rectangle-clearing puzzle game first seen here as a demo, which, being a puzzle game, is somewhat of a departure for SE. We're watching this one with interest, because if it's successful, Square Enix's DS offerings may begin to diversify further. Also it's cute.

The actual DS version of Yosumin

We showed you a web demo of Square Enix's new puzzle game Yosumin yesterday. Well, you only played it then. Now you can look at it! That's not as backwards as we made it sound, since these screens are of the real DS game and not a web demo.

The "clearing rectangular areas" mechanic is a fresh take on your basic Bejeweled-esque "pile of blocks" puzzle game, we think. If this is marketed correctly (by which we mean at all), Square Enix could have a genuine casual hit on their hands. We enjoy the rainbow-tower progress indicator, by the way.

Square Enix to puzzle you on the DS

Square Enix is set to bring its web-based puzzle title Yosumin to the DS. Now, right here is where we'd link to the web-based game and tell you to try it out yourself and see what it's like, but we can't seem to find it. Oh, wait ... here it is. We're devilish tricksters here at DS Fanboy.

The game will be releasing in Japan on November 8th. It will also feature stylus controls and versus and license modes.
