Wow, I thought this game died or vanished. It looks like its scheduled to come out May 2009. I remember it was supposed to come out last Summer then got delayed to November 2008.

*************************************************

Hello everyone,

We announced this puzzle game, Puchi Puchi Virus™, almost 2 years ago. We'll finally be releasing the game in May 2009!

Puchi Puchi Virus™ isn't just some ordinary puzzle game! The usual "object drop" puzzle cannot even compare to this exciting "object linkage" style!

Let us refresh your memory about Puchi Puchi Virus.

You're a doctor in a small town, and one day a mysterious
virus breaks out. All the people are turned into some kind
of monster-like creatures! Now, you must save them by
defeating the viruses!

You'll have over 100 patients to cure and each will require a different treatment. The screenshots show how the viruses manifest in the patient's body!

It sounds awfully easy, doesn't it? Well, that's the whole
point of this game. It has very simple rules and controls,
but it gets REALLY tough once you get into it!

We now have a Puchi Puchi Virus playable demo on the official website. You can try out the demo, and enter a contest for a chance to win an Enamel Navy Nintendo DS Lite! Please visit the contest page and read the instructions carefully. It might take some time to get used to the PC demo, but you'll get it sooner or later!

We hope you enjoy the game and take a shot at the Puchi Puchi "Cantouchus" Virus contest!

Also, here is the press release from NIS America about Puchi Puchi Virus!

Can this save your sanity?

The most heart pounding 60 seconds you'll find on the DS!
Puchi Puchi Virus™ will be released in summer 2008

Hello everyone!
We are really worried that you may already be infected with the Puchirus... Our lastest test results show that just watching the Puchi Puchi Virus trailer may not be enough to protect you, so we've prepared an anti-virus kit. We have 4 Anti-Virus kits for you to fight the Puchirus! But you have to enter our contest to win the kit. You won't get it unless you fight for it!

The anti-virus kit contains the followings:
- Anti-virus pills
- Information about Puchi Puchi Virus
- Puchi Puchi Virus game

With the anti-virus pills, you'll be protected from the Puchirus. And not only that, you'll get to have a Puchi Puchi Virus game!

Here are the rules of the Anti-Virus kit contest:

1. Submit your entry by May 20th.
---If you win, you will receive the kit.---
2. Consume the anti-virus pills as soon as you receive the kit, and prepare to fight against
　　 the Puchirus.
3. Fight the Puchirus!!

Here is what you need to submit! There are two different contests, so you can enter either one of them, or if you are so eager to win the Anti-Virus kit you can enter both contests!
We'll select 2 winners from each contest. You can submit as much as you want, but no matter what you'll only get one kit!

a) Create your own version of an infected 　　person.
b) Name the character.
c) Submit the artwork to
Contest Submission.
