Merscom today announced it will be publishing Buku Sudoku, the first Sudoku game for Xbox Live Arcade, this Spring.

Buku Sudoku promises to use three key features of the XBLA platform to create the best console Sudoku experience. First, the native HD resolution of the 360 will allow for an easy to read grid with pencil marks. Secondly, the controller’s triggers and thumbsticks will make for a very fast entry method, a usual barrier with electronic Sudoku games. Thirdly, the unique XBLA service will allow for multiplayer experiences never before witnessed in a Sudoku game.

“We are really excited about the release of Buku Sudoku, as it takes the proven and popular gameplay of Sudoku to a new level. It will appeal not only to Sudoku fans but anyone who loves a great gameplay experience,” said Kirk Owen, CEO at Merscom. “Given the popularity of Sudoku on other platforms and the quality of this game, we expect Buku Sudoku to be a phenomenal hit.”
