Merscom announced it will be publishing this Spring Buku Sudoku, the first Sudoku game for the Xbox LIVE Arcade system. The first, and only, Sudoku title for the Xbox LIVE Arcade, Buku Sudoku brings the worldwide Sudoku phenomenon to the Xbox LIVE Arcade while adding innovative competitive and cooperative play features. 

Buku Sudoku uses three key features of the XBLA platform to create the best console Sudoku experience.  First, the native HD resolution of the 360 allows for an easy to read grid with pencil marks.  Secondly, the controller’s triggers and thumbsticks make for a very fast entry method, a usual barrier with electronic Sudoku games.  Thirdly, the unique XBLA service allows for multiplayer experiences never before witnessed in a Sudoku game.  All of this is wrapped up in a cohesive graphical style that manages to offer something for all users.  In a similar fashion, multiple puzzle sizes, difficulties, control schemes, and tutorials offer appeal to any player whether totally new or a veteran.

“We are really excited about the release of Buku Sudoku, as it takes the proven and popular gameplay of Sudoku to a new level.  It will appeal not only to Sudoku fans but anyone who loves a great gameplay experience,” said Kirk Owen, CEO at Merscom. “Given the popularity of Sudoku on other platforms and the quality of this game, we expect Buku Sudoku to be a phenomenal hit.”
