Game Description

The arcade classic Dig Dug returns with all-new gameplay specially designed for the dual-screen Nintendo DS. Dig Dug's old nemeses, Pooka and Fygar, are back, causing all kinds of trouble with help from other new bosses. It's up to Dig Dug to tunnel underground, sink the islands, and send the bad guys out to sea! Explore 80 3D areas in 15 stages to pinpoint fault lines that'll trap the boss monsters. Then dig on the bottom screen to connect the faults. Collect items to unlock levels and overcome challenges. Dig away in single player, compete wirelessly with a friend, or play mini-game parodies of other Namco classics.
