Talented British developers Introversion have announced that, after a previous deal with a publisher fell through, they're looking for somebody else to publish nuclear war "simulator" Defcon on the Nintendo DS.

The grim, bare-bones PC hit is a perfect fit for the handheld, so the team are justifiably confident of finding somebody. But on the off chance they hit a snag, publishers of the world, know this: this game is a perfect fit for the handheld. Especially if it's released at a budget price and has a decent range of multiplayer options.

If everything goes according to plan - the plan being that Introversion find a publisher for a game that's obviously near-finished - Defcon DS should be out Q3 2009.
