I am loving what I've seen of this game so far and almost made a thread about it...
but then you did. :O
Spooky.
Here's the article from ign.
Essentially part platformer, part Tetris Attack, the game's hero can switch between his world and a puzzle world to get through the game. From the sound of it, enemies are sent to the puzzle world when beaten in the real as "tiles" used to clear out the grid. Clearing puzzles builds up a meter which turns Henry into his younger self, then into a giant robot.
It looks a bit like The World Ends With You formula taking two gameplay schemes and breaking them out into each screen on the DS. Read the article for more, but the story and gameplay seem quirky and original. Not to mention the main hero being an older "gentleman" of sorts is pretty damn charming.

This makes me almost want a DS. Almost.
The art needs to be more 60's/70's drug induced for a name like Henry Hatsworth, seems to have potential.
I don't have much to add to the conversation but it looks potentially chawesome.
Due out this month, Edge gave it a 8. So at least it doesn't seem a wreck like a few other recent fringe DS titles.
Waffles and Bananas, In Loving Memory of Kitty Bookins, Hearts to Stars: Panic Memory, Little Left Little Right (which was an interesting idea, but they really failed by not allowing 3rd party candidates), Hats Off to my Darling, Super Lovin Livagin, Compass Princess Tea Sun (a real disappointment since it's been in TBA hell since F-chan Factory had it ready to go nearly 3 years ago), and the DS remake of Summer of My Lovely Summer Love, and that's only last month!
