One of Nintendo's best games on 3DS - would have liked to see something a little different, but I'll gladly take a port with new puzzles on the WiiU.

Push it. Push it good.

All I need from this is a skip tutorial function. Or just a much shorter tutorial to begin with.

What would be grand if Nintendo renamed it Pushmo in the UK instead of Pull-Block :|

Someone explain why this series is popular. An hour of this game bored me to brain damage.

Tell me when Picross 3D is out, then Nintendo will be saved. Seriously though the difficulty ramp on the puzzles in the push/pull games is far too steep. Its too hard to try something and learn from your mistakes.

Does Nintendo have a mysterious patent for cute, high-res games? I feel like no one has ever truly nailed Nintendo's crisp, cartoony aesthetic. It really bums me out.

@purplespandex: I guess I don't get what your point is, then. Is the 3DS's 3D effect what's missing? If you just want a new Picross game for the 3DS, they've been putting out Picross E games on the eShop for a while now.

I love Picross and I like Pushmo, I just legitimately don't understand what point you were attempting to make.

I love these games so I hoped it would also be for the 3ds. Too bad many games that would be perfect for the handhold (Nes remix), is exclusive to the Wii U.

The tutorial in the original game is waaaay too long, and trivial. Once you get through that it finally becomes a middling puzzle game in my opinion. The concept is so simple that I don't have much expectation for this besides a map pack for a game that is already too long for it's simple repertoire of mechanics.

another awesome reason i'm proud to have a Wii U. Can't wait for Mario Kart 8 then Pushmo World then Smash Bros, and any other surprises Nintendo throws my way. I also have a Nintendo 3DS XL and have played pushmo and crashmo, and they are awesome!

How is the thumbnail in English when the video is Japanese? (i.e. the word Pause in the bottom left)

This looks super pretty, but if it's just more puzzles with the same mechanics then it might as well be just DLC for the original.

Also, there better be somewhere I can get me a plush Mallo. He's a god-damned sumo-cat!

Why not the other way around?

This is great. This also continues Nintendo's pattern of taking what worked on 3DS and making a WiiU version but I am fine with that when we get great games like Super Mario 3D World and Mario Kart 8.

You've just walked into the sequel to one of the best puzzle games out there. The original 3DS game had a nearly obscene amount of levels and, while the tutorial section did last way too long, the difficulty ramps up fast after that and they do quite a bit with the mechanics.

Seriously. I doesn't even have the x in there. It's just Pullblocks. Pull. Blocks. Booring.

I loved pushmo, though I feel the 3D does add to the appeal for me. Making levels with the wiiu gamepad does look fun however.
