Paint By DS, aimed at people who may not traditionally use video games, consists of 15 colouring in challenges along with a variety of fun mini games, such as puzzles based on the famous artwork included in the game.

In line with the Zen games proposition of relaxing, non-violent and non-competitive games, Tomo Ohno, Chief Operating Officer of Ertain BV said: "This is the first of the Zen Series games and shows perfectly how the Nintendo DS can attract a different type of user. Paint by DS helps the player relax, and be artistic anywhere, anytime."

Two limited edition versions will be available on launch, one with a paint set and one with a paint book.

The game, which includes patented technology, will be released on 24th August 2007, across Europe, priced at £19.99/€24.99. The US release date will follow in Q4 2007.
