Created by game designer \u003cstrong\u003eGeorge Fan\u003c\/strong\u003e, the original concept grew from experiments with a tower defense game in which plants protected a home from invading enemies, eventually evolving into the franchise's unmistakable garden-versus-undead formula. The DS adaptation preserved the original game's 50-level Adventure Mode while introducing handheld-specific features and minigames, including the exclusive Air Raid mode, giving Nintendo players their own version of the backyard zombie invasion.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003chr style=\"margin:20px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003c!-- ==================== ADDITIONAL DETAILS ==================== --\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eAdditional Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVariant:\u003c\/strong\u003e Standard Release\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c!-- ==================== e.g. Standard Release, Nintendo Selects, Collectors Edition, NFR ==================== --\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Strategy\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear Released:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2011\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e PopCap Games\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeveloper:\u003c\/strong\u003e PopCap Games\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eESRB Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e E - Everyone 10+\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 899274002243\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30865\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nintendo DS Video Game Cartridge (Authentic physical release)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlatform:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nintendo DS System (DS Handheld Console)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e NTSC (North America, Canada)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- ==================== IMPORTANT INFORMATION ==================== --\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n  \u003ch2\u003eImportant Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNintendo DS cartridges play on:\u003c\/strong\u003e All Nintendo DS systems, plus all Nintendo 3DS and 2DS systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e*Used cases may be replaced with a new aftermarket one if damaged.\u003c\/strong\u003e Listing above indicates if it's \"OEM\/Original\" or \"Aftermarket.\" Aftermarket cases typically differ in color \u0026amp;\/or build quality from original Nintendo DS cases.
