Merscom announced it releasing Buku Sudoku to the XBox Live Arcade this spring. The title will be the first iteration of the addicting numbers game available for XBLA. Buku Sudoku ups the addiction factor by adding innovative competitive and cooperative play features.
“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.”
Buku Sudoku promises to makes the best use of the Xbox 360 console’s strengths. Players will have a very easy to read grid and pencil marks thanks to the HD graphics, very fast entry via triggers and thumb sticks and multiplayer through XBLA.

Price will be a major issue to me personally. My prediction is that this’ll be an 800 point title, which is too high for my blood. I can dig out Brain Age and play sudokus with a better interface for free, so if this ends up being over 400 points, there’s no chance I buy it.
