My son and I have been playing this for years, and I'm sure we're not the only ones. When we're on a long car trip we'll take turns drawing pictures using Pictochat on the DS, then the other person has to guess what it is.
I'm not sure how much a developer can add to the basic mechanic that already comes with the DS for free, but Sega is certainly trying. The screens and fact sheet they provided with the announcement don't really give me a sense of what you'll be getting when you buy the game that you don't already get with the built-in app.
Reading between the lines I suspect you won't be getting WiFi play which is a down right tragedy. It's the one thing that prevents Pictochat from being truly useful. Yes I know, it's great at big press conferences and events, but I still miss the ability to shoot crudely drawn pictures of penises out into cyberspace.
