Note: Iwata did acknowledge that the company is working on new systems, though that isn’t too surprising.

Sabarasa Announces Save the Turtles for the Nintendo DSiWare

Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 1 Comment

BUENOS AIRES, – January 28th 2010 – Sabarasa announced today that Save the Turtles, a compelling puzzle game exclusively available for Nintendo DSiWare™, will be available in Quarter 1 2010. Save the Turtles allows puzzle solvers to act as good humanitarians by aiding the endangered sea turtles as they burst from their shells and make the life or death break for the deep ocean’s safe blue waters.
Save the Turtles boasts multiple gameplay modes, an animated flare reminiscent of a Saturday morning cartoon bursting with exuberant colors, real life environmental issues and puzzles that increase in complexity. Set in real world beach locations, the defenseless sea turtles venture into an unforgiving tropical environment and require safekeeping against predators such as the ever-resourceful seagull and the crafty pincer crab. Other perilous dangers players must navigate sea turtles through as they embark on their quest to safety include overexposure to the humid sun and manmade hazards such as oil spills and garbage.
