October 7^th, 2004 (12:00am) - No, Taito’s classic arcade game isn’t being ported over to the Nintendo DS. As much as that would kick ass, it isn’t happening. No, this Zoo Keeper is from publisher Success and is puzzle game that will launch with dual-screened hand-held in Japan on December 2nd.

In the game, as the zoo keeper of a small zoo, you must recapture all the escaped animals which have broken out of their holdings. To do this, you must line up three or more animal faces on the bottom DS screen ala Tetris Attack. Once you do this, you’ve captured the animals. Capture all the animals before the time runs out, and you’re off to the next level.

The stylus will be used for line-up the animal faces and WiFi support will be supported for up to two players.

It is unknown if whether or not Zoo Keeper will make it to North American shores.
