Squishy Tank: Already in the running for most 'awww-inspiring' title of 2010

My pun-loving mom would get a major kick out of the headline above, by the way.

Anyway, Squishy Tank. Here's the 411, in case you've never heard of this cute and cuddly DS title (and I'm guessing you haven't):

It's a basic match-three puzzler (developed by Success Corp. and published by Natsume) based on characters from "Yawaraka Sensha" ("Soft Tank"), a series of Flash animations (here's one of them, thanks to tinycartridge.com) about "adorable baby tanks who are simply too cuddly and delicate for war" (according to JC Fletcher over at joystiq.com).

Squishy Tank will hit store shelves in North America with a rather reasonable $19.99 price tag on March 31. I doubt you'll find it at your local Target (you don't go to Wal-Mart, do you?), so head over to Amazon if you're at all interested.
