Publisher Agetec today announced that it is bringing LOL to the Nintendo DS this May. Similar to Pictionary, LOL is multiplayer-only game in which players write down a challenge on the DS touch screen and have others attempt to answer the challenge, either with words or pictures.

From the press release:

LOL is played by one of the players making a challenge in writing to the others. The crazier the challenge, the more fun everyone will have. The person who delivered the challenge chooses an appropriate time limit, and everyone has to answer the challenge on their touch screen however they see fit – with words, pictures, or whatever comes to mind. The host reveals the answers, and everyone votes on a winner who will then decide on the challenge for the next round. Always different and a blast to play every time, LOL will, as its name implies, make everyone laugh out loud.

What makes us LOL is the concept of this game. $20 for a glorified Pictochat? No thanks.
