Namco Bandai Games have stated that they will ship Trioncube for the Nintendo DS from the February 20, 2007. The arcade game has many cute characters and sees gamers quickly erase as many blocks as possible.
Trioncube Overview:
- In Trioncube, players must embark on a journey across eight planets into the depths of space, as the captain of the mighty space ship Penko, to rescue the princess from the grasp of Hellmetal. Gamers reach this goal by creating a Trioncube – a series of 3×3 blocks, which start a chain reaction that refuels the Penko. Gamers try to create as big a chain as they can before time runs out and the Trioncube is broken. The bigger the chain made, the farther distance the Penko will travel across the galaxy.
Featuring four gameplay modes (Arcade, Story, Endless and Vs) Trioncube will provide endless fun for even the most seasoned puzzler. Unlike your typical puzzler where players try to quickly erase as many blocks as possible, Trioncube will have players in an ecstatic frenzy as they try to create the definitive 3×3 chain in a new type of thrilling puzzle experience. As they progress through the game, players will have to use different strategies to deal with new shapes in order to create the ultimate chain. Players will be able to collect coins as they create the Trioncube chain and purchase various unique backgrounds and effects – like sushi rolls, dogs and tambourines jumping out of the Trioncube – as they travel the galaxy in their Penko.
Yoshi Niki, Director of Namco Localization quoted, “We are happy to announce that Nintendo DS owners across North America will now be able to get their hands on this simple, yet addictive puzzle game. With its idiosyncratic premise, challenging gameplay modes and customization options Trioncube has a universal appeal to players of all ages.”
Trioncube has been developed in-house by Namco Bandai games and has been given an “E” for Everyone rating by the ESRB. The game will cost $19.99 (approx. Rs. 900).
