Mastiff Announces Sudoku for Game Boy® Advance on October 18, 2005.
International phenomenon puzzle game comes to most popular handheld system
Video game publisher Mastiff announced
today that they will publish Sudoku for the Game Boy® Advance handhheld video
game system, the first of a series of Sudoku products that Mastiff will be
bringing to game systems. Sudoku is the puzzle phenomenon that is sweeping the
nation. The Sudoku video game features hundreds of puzzle problems, a tutorial
mode, help for those moments when you really are stuck, the ability to 'pencil
in' possible solutions, and a puzzle problem creation mode. The game is expected
to be available February 10, 2006.
"Parents will be fighting their kids to get the Game Boy," says Bill Swartz,
Head Woof at Mastiff. "Sudoku fever is sweeping the country and the fiendishly
addictive puzzle game play is perfect for Game Boy Advance. On Game Boy Advance
we offer everything there is in the paper version, more volume than in any book,
and a help system. The best of two worlds."
Sudoku is the international puzzle craze that shows no signs of slowing down.
The New York Times remarks, "no puzzle has had such a fast introduction in
newspapers since the crossword craze of 1924-25," and USA Today says Sudoku has
"become the morning brain breakfast for millions of commuters." The Economist
magazine calls it a "puzzling global phenomenon."
Sudoku looks like a math problem, but it's not. The rules are simple: start with
a grid consisting of nine three-by-three squares in which some of the numbers
are already supplied. Fill in the blank squares so that each column, row, and
three-by-three grid contains a number from 1 to 9 with none repeated.
