Today’s launch of Crosswords DS for
the portable Nintendo DS™ video game system puts more than 1,000 crossword
puzzles into the palm of your hand. Crosswords DS includes puzzles at multiple
skill levels, so anyone from beginners to experts can give it a try. As you
progress, the puzzles get bigger and more challenging. Because you write all
your answers directly on the touch screen with your stylus, there’s no need for
erasers – just write your new answer over your old one. Crosswords DS also
includes a sophisticated hint system if you get stuck. Just tap the Hint button
with your stylus and choose to receive another clue, reveal a hidden letter or
solve the whole word.

“Crosswords DS brings crossword
puzzles into the 21st century in a way that’s accessible to everyone,” said
Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales &
Marketing. “And because Nintendo DS is so light and portable, you can play it
anywhere at any time.”

Crossword puzzles aren’t the only
classic word games found in Crosswords DS. There are also more than 200
Wordsearch puzzles that let you hunt for hidden words amid a jumble of letters.
For more word fun, you can turn to Anagrams and construct almost endless
combinations of words from a handful of letters.

Crosswords DS, with its quick and
accessible word challenges, is the latest in the Touch Generations line of
Nintendo DS games. Previous games include Brain Age®: Train Your Brain in
Minutes a Day, Brain Age® 2: More Training in Minutes a Day and Flash Focus™:
Vision Training in Minutes a Day.
