Zoo Publishing has revealed it will release four new Nintendo DS titles developed by PlayFirst, based on properties acquired from Empire Interactive earlier this month. Casual titles Diner Dash: Flo on the Go, Wedding Dash, Chocolatier, and Dream Chronicles are all scheduled to hit stores this holiday season. Of the four, the most recognizable to gamers would be Diner Dash.

You work too hard.

This would make a great Wii game."The disc release of the musical falling-block game will be expanded with new levels and music, and will be made available in both North America and in Europe, where the WiiWare version has yet to be released. In addition, Zoo will release an iPhone version of the game, which, of course, won't be on disc.
Empire Interactive's catalog sold to Zoo
Following the publisher's descent into administration earlier this week, Empire Interactive's games catalog and intellectual property rights have been sold to Zoo Publishing, Edge Online reports.
