Q Entertainment and NAMCO Bandai announced that Gunpey-R for the PSP and DS (take note that its title for the DS is Oto wo Tsunagou!) is heading to retail shops in holiday 2006. The game features exciting and innovative challenging puzzles that can only be expected from the legendary Gameboy creator Gunpei Yokoi. It will test your reflexes and dazzle your senses with the combination of dynamic music and colorful graphics.

Based on the 1999 Wonderswan puzzle, the creative minds at Q Entertainment combine groundbreaking music integration that will purportedly excite both the hardcore and casual gamers.

In Gunpey-R, as lines of various angles climb up the screen, you have to flip the lines located in squares to connect them over five columns. If an incomplete line reaches the top of the screen, the game is over. The game features 40 varied backgrounds and stylized music - a known trademark of the game's executive producer Tetsuya Mizuguchi. It supports two-player multiplayer over wireless ad-hoc connectivity.

Hey guys, i dont know who youre talking about but the main creator of the gameboy (and virtual boy) died about 7-8 years ago. Seriously, qj.net. You need to research a little bit further on your info. This is amazing tho. Unlike the psp page, you dont have redundant *****s screaming "FIRST POST". I love the ds!

Gunpei Yokoi developed the original game for the WonderSwan, and it's being remade for the current handhelds.

The original game where the Gunpey-R is based on was created by Gunpei Yokoi. It was originally conceived by Gunpei and it has been "re-imagined" by Q Entertainment. So, in that sense, he's pretty much involved. Gunpei was a hardware designer and a game developer. He developed WonderSwan, which was released 2 years after his death. The game was named Gunpei in his honor. And long before that, he developed the Nintendo tumbler puzzle (Ten Billion Barrel).
