The DS wasn't the first touchscreen device designed purely for gaming – the annals of gaming history are littered with trivia, gambling and other simple touchscreen games machines of the sort you'll find hidden away in the backcorners of pubs. And so it is that Midway is going back to its own arcade roots with Touchmaster DS.
Based on its long-running Touchmaster countertop game systems – still found in arcades, bars, and other such leisure facilities – Touchmaster DS will feature 23 simple mini-games, such as card games, mah jong, and trivia and knowledge games.
Perhaps more interesting though is that the game will use the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection to connect to Midway's own Tournament Network, so players can update their high scores to the global ranking system, as well as participate in competitions and tournaments.
The full listing of mini-games is: Crystal Balls, Hot Hoops, MahKi, Mah Jonng Pairs, Pond Kings, Pairs, Target 21, 3 Peak Deluxe, Pyramid 13, Powercell, Solitaire, Artifact, 5 Star Generals, Double Take, Go Wild, Up Lift, Times Square, Word Search, Triple Elevens, Trivia, Pick Up 6, and Wordz.
Touchmaster DS is due to be released this summer.
