Microsoft and THQ have announced that the hit series of Zoo managing games will receive its second installment on the DS. In Zoo Tycoon 2, players will be doing a lot more of the same, with some new features tossed in for good measure. In Zookeeper mode, players can now tend directly to animals in a 3D environment.

Also, the DS version of Zoo Tycoon 2 will have some stuff the PC version doesn't. Besides the already mentioned Zookeeper mode, there will be new animals and environments to enjoy. Players can share data wirelessly with other owners of the game, as well.

Zoo Tycoon currently has an early 2008 release date.

If you're not one of the approximately 12 million people training their brains in minutes a day, then you aren't truly participating in the DS cultural phenomenon. We won't put a value judgment on that decision-- some people just aren't interested in brain training, or non-traditional gaming, or math. But if you have yet to get into Brain Age for financial reasons, we may be able to help you.

Circuit City is offering the game this week for $13.99, which, as anyone who has played it will tell you, is less than $19.99. Also available: Zoo Tycoon and, uh, some unknown media for other devices.

Now is a great time to pick up Brain Age and see what all the fuss is about (it's about short, brain-teasing minigames!) It would make Satoru Iwata happy, and isn't that what it's really all about-- the smile on one absurdly rich man's face?
