QuickSpot[a] is a video game for the Nintendo DS developed by Namco Bandai. It is designed similar to games such as Brain Age which uses simple brain teaser to exercise reflexes and brain function. It is a part of Nintendo's Touch! Generations brand and is the first in the Unō no Tatsujin series.
Gameplay
The game projects two images, the correct one on the top screen, and an error filled one on the bottom screen. Comparing the two images, the player has to locate and find the inaccuracies or changes from the top screen to the touch screen.
This game is based on the traditional game spot the difference. GamePro.com described the game "like a mix between Where's Waldo and the Hidden Pictures section in Highlights magazine".[1]
The players use none of the face buttons or D-Pad on the DS. The entire game is played using the touch screen and stylus. The player draws a circle using the stylus when the player spots the difference between the top image on the bottom screen. In some instances, the built in microphone is used.
Development and release
It was announced at the website GoNintendo[2] that this game would come over stateside. The current release date is March 19, 2007. This is 13 months after the Japanese launch. An early review of this game on GameSpot gave it a rather low score of 6.3 – fair.[3] The North American version also adds references to other Namco franchises like Pac-Man, Mappy, and Mr. Driller.
