Emily the Strange: Strangerous strangely arrives in North America

If you thought it was strange for Emily the Strange: Strangerous to be released only in Europe, that's no longer the case, as Tri-Synergy has now published the Nintendo DS puzzle-adventure in North America.

Based on a franchise that has spawned a series of books and even clothes, Strangerous marks Emily's first foray into gaming. The quick-witted teen wakes up after a nightmare to find that her four beloved cats have been kidnapped. Though she begins searching at her fairly strange home, she soon ventures out to even stranger locations like a carnival and a ghost pirate ship to find them. Once she locates her kitties, Emily must then make strategic use of their special feline abilities in order to track down their abductor.

In this Professor Layton-meets-teen goth puzzler, Emily encounters 65 different standalone brainteasers in her travels, along with a handful of minigames at the Atrocity Fair. There are some unique DSi features for compatible handhelds as well, as you can "scan QR codes with the DS camera to unlock Zonster parts to create your own personal Zonster."

Originally launched in the UK in June, Emily the Strange: Strangerous is now shipping to major North American retailers, just in time for Halloween. For more detailed information, have a read through our recent review of the game.
