A shovel with insider information and the rare ability to speak aloud has just broken the story that Master of the Monster Lair has slipped out of September and is now scheduled for release on October 21.

“It seems as though Nintendo DS™ adventurers in search of dungeon-crafting, monster hunting and loot collection will have to wait a little while longer,” stated the trowel, matter-of-factly.

Master of the Monster Lair for Nintendo DS lets players create the dungeon of their dreams, trying to lure in a variety of monsters carrying different types of items and treasure. True master lair architects can trade designs with a friend via local wireless. Dig these features and more when Master of the Monster Lair releases on October 21, 2008.
