Project Hacker: Kakusei  The game features hacker-themed puzzles where the stylus is used for, among other tasks, program repair and password cracking. "Project Hacker" plays like a visual novel adventure game outside of these puzzles, similar to the "Ace Attorney" series. "Project Hacker: Kakusei" was developed by Red Entertainment with involvement by publisher Nintendo. The game was initially announced under the title "Detect Hacker" at the 2005 DS Conference in Japan. The name was changed to "Project Hacker" in early 2006. In July 2006, one year after the game's Japanese launch, Nintendo of America filed copyrights for North American packaging and an instruction booklet for "Project Hacker: Awakening", the English-translated title of the game. However, this localization never made it to release. On release, Weekly Famitsu scored the game a 27 out of 40. "Project Hacker: Kakusei" sold 37,000 copies in its launch week.
