Gamespot is reporting on the upcoming Rainbow Islands title for Nintendo DS.

Rainbow Island DS will use both screens as one large playfield to provide a view of upcoming areas. The touch screen will be used to allow players to draw rainbows with the stylus. Players will be able to defeat multiple enemies at once by encircling them with drawn rainbows.

The title is currently slated for a January 5 release in Japan. No North American release plans have yet been made.
