100 Classic Books Released for Nintendo DS

Tomorrow, June 14th, Nintendo is releasing 100 Classic Books on a disc for the DS.

Released about 6 months ago in the UK and earlier this year in Australia, this collection of one hundred public domain works of literature has proved popular with owners of the game system.

There are (probably not surprising given the average age of DS owners) a lot of adventure stories, but aren't all that many mystery and suspense titles. Still, included are Tales of Mystery and Imagination by Edgar Allan Poe, The Woman in White and The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins, Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and The Hound of the Baskervilles by Arthur Conan Doyle, Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, Dracula by Bram Stoker, The Man Who Was Thursday by G. K. Chesterton, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson, and a few others. The entire list can be viewed on a website created for the collection, 100ClassicBooks.com, which also includes 10 bonus titles that can be downloaded.
