Square-Enix bringing Yosumin to US shores

 

When I say Square-Enix, you think RPG: after all, that is what they are famous for. Some matlockery over at Siliconera shows that they are actually planning to bring adorable puzzle game Yosumin to the Nintendo DS for American audiences (the Japanese version has been out for a while).

 

The goal of Yosumin is simple — you poke at colored blocks on the screen in an attempt to make rectangles and clear the blocks away, and each level has a set number of blocks the player must clear to move on. It sounds like simple fare, and ideal for the kind of mindless gaming I sometimes crave when I’m on an airplane, so I’ll be keeping an eye out for this one very soon.
