Development
Yosumin! was originally a free browser-based game. The game was showcased in playable form at the Tokyo Game Show 2007. It was shown to be an enhanced port of the original Yosumin browser game released by Square Enix on the @nifty network. This was confirmed to be part of publisher Square Enixs' effort to expand their fan base internationally and across more types of players and genres, including more casual games. The game was available at Japanese Nintendo DS demo stations in November 2007. In November 2008 Square Enix trademarked Yosumin! In the United States. On May 26, 2009, Yosumin was released over the digital distribution service Steam under the title Yosumin!, and the following day was released on Xbox Live Arcade as Yosumin! Live.
