Nintendo Puzzle Frenzy and Wii Screen Splurge
Picross on DS, plus Trauma Center and Big Brain Academy on Wii
Someone must have given Nintendo's PR people a kick, because they've just let loose a minor deluge of screens and announcements. A new Touch! Generations game has been promised, and we've got new screens from Big Brain Academy and Trauma Centre on the Wii.
We refer you to SPOnG's recent review of Trauma Center: Second Opinion for Wii, to find out why it is still one of our most highly awaited Wii games.
First off, then, this new Touch! Generations game. Dubbed Picross, this DS title is promising to be “the ultimate in light puzzle entertainment”. Which means it'll be going up against, well, a bunch of other DS games. Here's what it does, according to Nintendo,
The DS's wi-fi connection also offers the opportunity to compete against other gamers online or swap puzzles you've made with others.
So there it is. Picross joins the distinguished Touch! Generations' ranks alongside the likes of Nintendogs and Dr Kawashima's Brain Training.
Picross hits shelves on May 11th.
Now, without further ado, take a peek at these new screens for the upcoming Big Brain Academy and Trauma Centre - both of which we've just been informed are out 'Q2 or Q3' (which vaguely means sometime between April and August, in normal-world language - we'll bring you firmer release dates as soon as we get them in the coming days).

“In the game’s main Picross Mode players must reveal a hidden image that lies beneath the puzzle by filling in a grid with squares and crosses to complete patterns. Variety is the spice of life and Picross DS does not disappoint with a staggering 300 puzzles available to play at your leisure. These games range from the elementary five by five grids, to highly complicated twenty by twenty grids which will keep even the most hardened gamer happy. Finishing all these challenges will keep you busy for weeks.”

Trauma Center is long overdue, what on earth is taking them so long?
Picross looks good, may have to check it out.
