Topic: Crosswords Plus (With lots of Nintendo refs!)

Announced as a game to come both digitally and retail on the 3DS in NA on Oct 1.

Cool info is that in the trailer, there was a word search puzzle that included Earthbound as one of the words.

So it's like Scrabble? I can use Earthbound as a word in scrabble, at least with the people I play with.
I actually have no idea what this game is. Tralier/link please?

I don't know how to link on this site, but it's a words search puzzle game with tons of different puzzles in it. The official trailer has the EB reference.

Crosswords, word searches, annagrams, & a word of the day feature. I'm looking forward to downloading it.

Here is your link to the trailer...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cq0v08wAoRQ

Earthbound was a word in a word search puzzle?...that's it?
It's funny that Earthbound fans can be so easily manipulated to buy games. :3

Isn't Earthbound... an actual word.

In the same puzzle Animal Crossing, F-zero, and other franchises were words as well. Considering how they don't mention EB in these types of things, it's actually a good surprise.

The game looks great and promising. Spotpass will keep me entertained for even longer. And even though I don't like Crosswords, this something worth considering.

Oh they have them on there? I haven't seen the trailer.

It came out today! What do you think of it?

Well the game also has world search (my fav of it all), anagrams, word of the day (trivia apparently), word paths (like cross words), and of course cross words, might get it just because of the special donkey kong offer, none of the other games interest me (not even paper mario but I might wait for it instead).
Edit: also the game has free dlc for more crosswords and stuff.

Loving it so far! I also love the spotpass features, already got a Nintendo bonus crossword after completing one.

Is the game worth the $30?

Oh wow I was about to compliment on the price of this being a direct conversion from the dollar price here in Mexico...
But when I checked it right now, they changed it!

They (almost) doubled it, like they did with NSMB2 (Like real retail stores do here)... Damn, I was really considering getting it... But I'm not paying 600 pesos (47 dollars) for this or Art Academy, sorry. I will probably find them for 20 dollars next time I go to the United States.

I wonder, did I really see it, or I simply imagined it being 300 pesos?...
It's such a shame, considering everything else on the Mexican eShop is actually a few pesos cheaper than in it's US counterpart.

Anyone who bought it off the eshop how big is it to download?

On gamefaqs somebody said 120 blocks only.

I can confirm the block size.

Enjoying it. It's no-frills, and honestly would have been a better purchase at half the price (well, duh Phil), but still good. The word of the day feature has a daily puzzle attached, which is incentive enough to play frequently, but I've also gotten bonus Spot Pass puzzles every time I've opened it, so that's good for a word nerd like me.

Nintendo World Report gave it an 8/10.

They said "sonic" is in the same puzzle as "mario", lol. That's actually pretty clever on the part of the devs, as SEGA obviously doesn't own the word "sonic", and by putting it in the same puzzle as "mario", they made their reference intent obvious.
