IGN: One More Look at Crosswords DS

Nintendo’s strategy behind the marketing of Crosswords DS completely baffles us. The first time IGN even heard about the game was at last year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo, where it made a brief appearance in the company’s press kit. Then, a whole lot of radio silence until 2008. Why all the hush-hush about this title? It can’t be that bad, can it?

No, it’s not bad. Far from it. Nintendo of America sent over the final boxed copy of Crosswords DS in preparation of next week’s release, and after blasting through a good dozen or so puzzles this afternoon it’s safe to say that this game fits the Nintendo DS market like a glove.
