Atari today announced the forthcoming launch of kawaii* puzzler Trioncube for Nintendo DS™ developed by NAMCO BANDAI Games Inc.  With challenges that will keep seasoned puzzlers on the edge of their seats,  Trioncube for Nintendo DS is scheduled for launch across Europe in June 2007.

In Trioncube, the player takes the role of captain on the mighty space ship Penko and embarks on a journey across eight planets into the depths of space to rescue the fair princess from the grasp of the handsomely monikered villain Hell Metal. To succeed on this monumental quest, players must create chains of 3x3 blocks which propel the space ship forward. The bigger the chain, the further the ship hurtles through space, but the clock is ticking.

Unlike traditional puzzlers where the objective is to quickly erase as many blocks as possible, Trioncube is all about creating the ultimate chain of 3x3 blocks before the screen fills up or the chain clock runs out.  Each new stage calls for different strategies as players have to frantically slot various shaped blocks into their growing chains.  Coins collected from the chains enables the players to buy numerous in-game effects and graphics like sushi rolls, hot dogs and tambourines which leap from the Trioncube as they traverse the galaxy in the good ship Penko.

Featuring addictive gameplay with its own devious twists alongside the brilliantly inventive graphics, Trioncube for Nintendo DS is scheduled for European launch in June 2007.  For more information about Atari's entire product line up visit www.atari.com.
