Games Factory Online and Engine Software have confirmed that they are currently in the process of developing Rummikub for the Nintendo DS. The game is aimed to be released in sometime in late 2008.

Jurriaan van Rijswijk, General Manager at Games Factory Online said: “ When we acquired the official license for this game, we looked for a stable and experienced developer to turn the license into a succesful release for Nintendo DS. With Engine Software we found the ideal partner for this project, and we are quite excited about bringing this product to the market in the near future. “

Since the 1950s Rummikub has been an immensely popular family game, played by millions of people all over the world, and being voted “Game of the Year” in over a dozen countries during its existence. Now, Engine Software and GFO are bringing the officially licensed version of the game to the Nintendo DS. Rummikub for DS will be based on the classic version of the game, and like the original game it will be targeted at kids as well as adults.
