Nintendo Readying New DSi Ware Puzzler

Get the Nintendo Points ready, folks. Another downloadable puzzle game is on the way from Nintendo, and that usually means must-buy.

Set for release next week on DSiWare is Panel Connection: 3 Minute Rocket, a new puzzler from Intelligent Systems. You can get your first look at the game via a new official site.

The purpose of the game is to complete a rocket's fuel supply line by moving panels around on a launch pad beneath the rocket. Once its fuel supply line has been properly formed, the fuel flow in, and the rocket will blast off to the next area of play. There are a couple of gameplay clips at the official site which should help explain what's going on.

The game will feature two modes of play: mission and puzzle.

In Mission mode, you have to continually launch the rocket between launch points in order to make it to a target planet within three minutes. As you progress in this mode, your rocket will see upgrades that make it capable of more distant flight with each launch.

Puzzle mode requires a bit of thought, as you have to make sure and move all the available panels into place before the rocket launches. This mode offers over 100 puzzle stages.

Look for 3 Minute Rocket on November 11 at 500 DSiPoints.
