Crave Entertainment, today announced that Sudokuro for the Nintendo DS handheld system has shipped to retailers throughout North America. Featuring both the incredibly popular and highly addictive Sudoku and Kakuro logic games, Sudokuro contains enough puzzling goodness to keep even the most avid fans occupied for hours on end.

Sudokuro contains 1,500 unique, hand-crafted and an unlimited number of automatically generated Sudoku puzzles, plus over 5,000 Kakuro puzzles. Players may enter data either with buttons or the Nintendo DS stylus, and the game also features text recognition. With three levels of difficulty for each game, and a simple 2x2 Sudoku mode especially designed for children, the whole family can enjoy playing Sudokuro.

USA Today says Sudoku has "become the morning brain breakfast for millions of commuters," and the New York Times comments, "no puzzle has had such a fast introduction in newspapers since the crossword craze of 1924-25." Kakuro, often called a mathematical translation of the crossword, is second in popularity only to Sudoku in Japan.

Sudokuro is available now for a suggested retail price of $19.99.
