Independent developer Introversion today announced that it has "regained all rights" to the completed Nintendo DS version of its thermonuclear war game DEFCON.

The company is now seeking a publishing partner "for world domination...or a nice game of chess," and expects the portable rendition to launch worldwide in Q3 2009. The fast-paced neon-colored Wargames-inspired title originally hit the PC in early 2007.

"We believe that there will be particular interest in a finished DS product with such a great track record," said Introversion director Mark Morris. The Nintendo DS version was developed alongside Pinnacle, described by Introversion as a "troubled distributor."

Helping Introversion in the publisher search is consulting firm Bad Management.

A new omni-directional downloadable shooter is coming to the PlayStation 3 from developer doublesix, the studio responsible for Geometry Wars: Galaxies on Nintendo DS and Wii along with the downloadble PS3 shooter Nucleus.

Said to pack deliver "humor and bloody zombie violence in copious amounts," Burn Zombie Burn will be arrive in the online PlayStation Store between January and March of 2009, published by Pinnacle Software.
