2013 might be the Year of Luigi, but that doesn't mean that the lanky plumber has a monopoly over the upcoming release schedule. Tucked among the bigger titles of today's Nintendo Direct was Poisoft's Splash or Crash (known as Kersploosh! in North America), a brand new 3DS eShop title that has you dropping stones down a well into the water at the bottom.
It's not quite as simple as it sounds, though: each well is packed with obstacles to avoid, from wooden planks to fans, cannons and, even stranger, doughnuts and pizza slices. The further you fall, the faster you go, so you're going to need to keep your wits about you to if you want to dive right to the bottom.
Splash or Crash is due to splash down in Europe on 28th February, with a North American release following on 7th March. While you wait, cast your eyes over this North American trailer.

Whose well would be like that? oh well, the game looks alright but as long as there is a endless mode.
This actually looks really cool.
@Undead_terror have YOU ever fallen down a well?
I'm definitely interested in this. Simple but fun and goofy.
I dont get why NOA keeps changing the name of their downloads to nonsense and dumb wording when the original names are perfect fits, Im looking at you Pushmo
Looks fun!
I can't imagine that having different names for different territories is more helpful than it is confusing. I mean, it's not like we're all cut off from each other here. It's called the internet.
@tripunktoj Im sorry but nothing spells more "poopiedoodledingdongs name" that a mispelling a word on purpose like in "PullBlox" or "MotoHeroz" or "2 fast 4 gnomz" for example
I've been eagerly anticipating this game ever since it was first released in Japan as Hyu Stone. It was one of the first games to be released exclusively on the 3DS eShop, shortly after it launched in 2011. I always thought it looked really interesting and I'm glad I'll finally get to play it after nearly 2 years of waiting!
Definately getting this game. Looks so cool and the trailer was amusing!
@tripunktoj because Kersploosh is a MUCH better name than something boring like Splash or Crash.
This actually looks really fun and goofy! I'm looking forward to it!
Looking at the game in motion, I can't help but think of how much it reminds me of Ketzal's Corridors (SpeedThru: Potzol’s Puzzle) with a rock.
This brings back memories.....
I'll take the plunge. Ha. Puns.
Saw screens for this about a year-and-a-half ago @ 3ds-screenshot.com for it under the name Hyu Stone. Definitely interested in this.
I'll be keeping my eye on this one. It's been so long since it was released in Japan (as Hyu Stone) that I didn't even know it was still coming over.
Looking forward to this.
Going to get this one.
This looks like a perfect mini-game for a Zelda game. Link finds various wells throughout Hyrule and can chuck stuff down them. Would work great for a 3DS LoZ and a WiiU LoZ. Eventually if you throw enough into the water or manage to throw something unordinary down into the water a magical fish, Zora, or Fairy will appear and give Link something, or maybe get cursed.
A good new iteration on throwing equipment and items down to have them blessed/upgraded too.
Anybody else think of Timmy O'Toole when watching that video?
Looks quite fun/
@Burning_Spear Funnily enough, my original image caption was "We're sending our stones down the well"...
I'm all over this. Looks like solid arcade style fun.
