Capcom have announced a rather strange title for the DS and Wii in the form of Neopets Puzzle Adventure.

Infinite Interactive were onto a winner when they devised the acclaimed Puzzle Quest series, the puzzle-RPG hybrid which has seen installments on the Wii and DS. The next logical step for the franchise was clearly to combine elements of it with virtual pet simulator Neopets to create Neopets Puzzle Adventure.

Says Kyra Reppen, Senior vice president and general manager of Neopets, "As part of Neopets' strategy to extend the property into a multiplatform brand, we are continuously giving our audiences new ways to play on and off of the site. Our partnership with Capcom provides a new form of game play for Neopets that is relevant to the platforms our audience is using, and that complements the game play on the site."

Based on the board game Reversi, the game sees you adventuring across 150 Neopian landscapes, solving puzzles to progress. You'll be able to customise your virtual pet, and in each version you'll be able to unlock codes which can be used in your online Neopets account.

Neopets Puzzle Adventure is set to launch on the Wii and DS 'this holiday season'.
