Nine down and nine across; it’s
The Sun Crossword Challenge

The UK’s most popular newspaper
crossword comes to the Nintendo DS

The UK’s best loved newspaper, The
Sun, today announces that it will be releasing The Sun Crossword Challenge on
the Nintendo DS in Europe this November.

The Sun Crossword Challenge operates
like a traditional crossword puzzle but with a twist. Like the daily crossword
in The Sun newspaper, each puzzle will have two sets of clues – coffee time with
quick clues and cryptic with longer, more brain teasing clues. The game has more
than 1000 crossword challenges to test the player’s mind.

Using the intuitive game play of the
Nintendo DS stylus, the player writes their answers straight onto crossword with
the character recognition. If the player gets really stuck, help is at hand with
optional hints!

The game will be published by UK
publisher Mercury Games and is due for release in November 2007. The SRP will be
19.99.
