A side project from HAL Laboratory, of Kirby fame, the BOXBOY! games have been a nice puzzle-platforming addition to the 3DS eShop, offering a diverse array of thought provoking levels. So far, we've gotten BOXBOY! and its follow up, BOXBOXBOY!, and now it's been announced that HAL will be going for the BOXBOY! hat trick.
A teaser site for Goodbye! BOXBOY! has just been revealed, and it comes out in Japan on 2nd February. Alongside this, a physical edition is in the works that will have all three games, a new Qbby amiibo that unlocks secrets, and an official soundtrack. While there's no Western announcement to be made yet, it's a safe bet that we'll probably be seeing this sometime next year; perhaps an announcement will come in the next Nintendo Direct. Here's a brief teaser, showing off the more colourful environments and new puzzle types:
What do you think? When will this come West? How did you like the first two games? Drop us a comment in the section below.

I'm considering importing this, that amiibo is just too damn cute. A physical copy of the game would be cool to have too, Japanese or not.
A black and white game starring a square with eyes released 2014 did well enough to warrant 2 sequels, a retail collection, and an amiibo (or a SCAMiibo to some). That's surprising, that's cool, and that's something only Nintendo could do.
Welcome to the Nintendo family Qbby!
I hope that title doesn't mean this is the end of the BoxBoy series...
HA! That will be the best Amiibo yet!
QBBY FOR SMA5H!
Why goodbye? Are they killing him off so they don't have to make a Switch sequel? XD
@SheldonRandoms QBBY SQUARES UP!
Well that is possibly the cutest amiibo yet! Would totally snag this if it comes west, really enjoyed the first game and have yet to play #2. May hold off now!

I finished the first game last month and was about to buy the second one, but now I might just wait for the physical collection.
BTW there's no way I'm missing that amiibo! Qbby sure is cute.
If someone can pull off a white box Amiibo, it's HAL.
I never played the first one, but loved the second. Really hope this comes West, I'd pick up the physical edition immediately.
I loved the games and will get the third but the amiibo... I mean, it's a white cube with block dots for eyes and black sticks for legs. no way I'd pay like $15 for that. I have zero actual attachment towards the sentient square, I just play for the puzzles.
I'll pre order it as soon as it's announced for the west! CAN'T WAIT TAKE MY MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!
Buy all 3 games individually for approx. $15, or buy all 3 games together (assuming you don't have at least one already), plus a plastic cube on a plastic disc that probably won't be used in future games (except for Kirby games, no doubt), for a predictable price of... 30 freaking dollars!
...I'll just buy the other two games on the eShop.
@Mega_Yarn_Poochy I agree with you, but I also think that this series has earned its modest success. The puzzles are well designed and have a focus to them you don't see in other games. I kinda like the minimalist style, it's a nice change of pace.
I'm SO excited for this. Boxboy is one of my favorite eshop series and I think all the games are great (contrary to Nintendolife's own opinion of the first game ). I hope this comes stateside!
I've completed both games. Or at least collected all crowns. I'm not that into the time trial stuff. I didn't enjoy the second game quite as much as the first one but it was far from a bad game. I'm certainly getting the third game.
I love how hard some of the later stages and crowns can be but at the same time, it also irritates me a bit. I had to think about one puzzle for 30 minutes or so to finally come up with an answer how to get one crown in BOXBOXBOY!. I've also solved multiple puzzles in ways they probably didn't intend to.
I only played the first one and I'm a bit surprised to see yet another game coming out, but BOXBOY was a brilliant little game. I honesly wouldn't mind seeing an occasional, small release, but I can see how you can run out of ideas for it.
Awsome. These games are excellent to play on my short metro ride to work! I found the first two games to be quite similar in terms of types of boxes, but this one seem to have a lot of new ideas Bring it on!
That's a weird amiibo choice. I wonder whether it'll have any cool uses, or whether it's just for unlocking locked content in the game.
This entry seems like it will shake things up enough for me to consider getting it.
£10.99 for a White Box on a base?
...
Starts throwing money at the screen!
I hope both come to Europe.
And then a Pullblox collection + amiibo.
@EllenJMiller I'd buy a Mallo amiibo in a heartbeat
A cube with two dots and two sticks. BOY IT MUST'VE TAKEN A LONG TIME TO DESIGN THAT AMIIBO!
Normally I'm onboard with amiibo, but charging a premium price as this no doubt will for the inclusion of a literal block of plastic irks me. This is not a character that needed the amiibo treatment.
I was hoping that this would get a physical release, and if it comes to NA I will buy it.
The english titles for BoxBoy seem to be following a pattern (maybe).First was BOXBOY, second was BOXBOXBOY, what would the third one be? BOXBOXBOYBYE? BYEBOXBOXBOY? BOXBOXBOYBYEBYE? The possibilities are endless
@Mega_Yarn_Poochy Qbby for smash.
Looks cool, I might buy it.
Still need to play the 2nd. I want that amiibo.
They should give a GameCube version on a minidisc with the amiibo
This is why I have no money.
I wasn't much interested in the BoxBoy series (though I've played and 100%ed the first game), but this upcoming one looks good
@Kroko ...wait, what?
The NES Mini has barely left the cooker. Why not keep the retro necromancy to one console per year at least???
Been buying every single amiibo that has come to europe. Unless I can get the amiibo seperately, I won't be getting this one.
I can't bring myself to feel excited for the game or amiibo. But I'm sure they'll have their fans.
Wow, a Boxboy amiibo (which is cool actually).
But we can get amiibo for a $10 eShop game about a cardboard box, but couldn't get a Fire Emblem line??
Not a gigantic Boxboy fan (I did download the sequel recently though). This third game does seem to have some cool new ideas though.
@ReshiramZekrom
Cute? It's a cube with 2 dots on it >.>
