NIS America is proud to announce that Puchi Puchi Virus will be hitting the DS on May 19th. Puchi Puchi Virus is new DS puzzle game that is sure to take hours away from your social life. There's even a PC demo of the game for you to test out right now. As a little extra incentive for trying the demo out, score over 10,000 points and be entered into winning a new Enamel Navy Nintendo DS Lite! These aren't available outside of Japan. NIS America will be handing out 10 Enamel Navy Nintendo DS Lite systems.

Puchi Puchi Virus does not resemble the ordinary puzzle game. The usual "object drop" style was replaced with a more intuitive system of "object linkage." Its simple design and surprisingly in depth game play can addict even the most demanding puzzle game enthusiasts.

The object is to form at least a single triangle formation by linking viruses together and erasing them from the screen. Victory conditions vary from mission to mission, but erasing all of the viruses will be the fundamental rule of this game. Erase all the viruses and you win, but if the screen gets filled with the emerging viruses you lose. Note: there is a twist to this system that gives depth to the game play. Viruses turn to stone if left alone for a while, which cannot be selected to form a triangle. However, these stones can be erased if they are within a triangle that you create. With a little luck and some practice players can rake in massive points by letting the viruses turn to stones and erasing them all at once.

You can download the demo and get some tips right here. Good luck to all those who enter the DS Lite giveaway.
