Q-Games and Nintendo made a DSi tower defense game!?

Darting to Club Nintendo this morning after the reveal of that super sweet Luigi sculpture (which still isn’t on the site) I noticed Nintendo was offering a humble little game called Starship Defense at a discount. I somehow missed this on DSiWare back in 2010 but it’s a quaint, stark looking tower defense game published by Nintendo and developed by Pixeljunk proprietor, Q-Games.

How did I miss this!? Oh, it was on DSiWare, that’s probably how. Anyone out there played it by chance? I’m intrigued but still pretty cool on tower defense games.
