"Given the broad and growing demographic of the DS audience, we think The New York Times Crosswords has terrific potential," said Ken Gold, vice president of Marketing. "Handwriting recognition and system portability make the title a natural fit for the DS, while the 4-player cooperative and competitive multiplayer modes add a new dimension to the social nature of puzzle solving."
