The DSiWare platform has plenty of well-constructed and enjoyable puzzle games, with Digger Dan & Kaboom being an example; we rather liked it in our review. Now publisher Four Horses is sprucing it up for a 3DS eShop release this summer, rebranding it as Digger Dan DX.
In this title Dan and his 'pet gopher' Kaboom team up to work through levels, which seems to blend aspects from games like Boulder Dash and Dig Dug. This improved version, however, has plenty to offer over its DSiWare predecessor.
- All 100 levels from the original game, re-ordered to introduce new features more gradually.
- 4 themed areas with all new graphics
- Stereoscopic 3D layers
- Improved audio
- 60fps smooth action
- 4 save slots
This could be a promising eShop release later in the year; are you tempted to dig in?

I can't wait for this one!
Hey, this is going to be awesome!!! (At first I thought it said Digger Dan NX)...... ha!
Digger Dan & Kaboom was excellent and I can't wait to download this once it becomes available.
Ahhh! Can't wait! It looks awesome!
One of the games I most wanted on 3DS when I bought it was Digger Dan (I'd just played the DS one), not even kidding.
Now we know, Retro must have helped Four Horses with porting this over.

@World Glad I can (finally) oblige. You have no idea the time and effort this has taken to get to the eShop. I'm on to my 4th artist. Really pleased with the look. I'll release screenshots of the later themes as soon as they are finished (we're having fun with the home screen banner at the moment). Then I'll try get some video up when the sound effects are all finished.
@ImDiggerDan Awesome! Really looking forward to hearing more (and buying it day one)!
Looks interesting! 3DS could use some more non-RPGs for variety's sake.
Sweet! The original DSiWare game was one of my favourites on the service, I'll definitely support this once it's out.
