THQ has announced Beat City for the Nintendo DS. It’s a mini game collection but don’t stop reading there as it has a rhythm-based twist. The game also has a story that’s very similar to de Blob and with good reason - Beat City is coming from the developers of the iPhone and mobile phone version of the game.

Beat City will see you tapping and swiping your touch screen to the beat to restore colour to the once vibrant and melodious Beat City, and ridding the city of Dame Isolde Minor and her Cacophony Corporation. There are twenty mini games in all.

THQ hasn’t given a release date but we’d suspect it should be out sometime soon.
