Yay!! I can't wait for this! The original was fantastic, too, and barely a few months old. Can't wait to play the sequel

Ah, shucks. Glad i didn't end up downloading it then, even though I tried to a couple of times and my spotty wifi wouldn't permit it. lol. Saved by the spotty wifi!

I'm totally gettin' this

Got to much to play already, and this looks like crap to me. I'll pass.

OOOOh! Why do they even bother with sequels to bad games? Time for fresh ideas, move along to something else!

@black-kyurem How wrong you are!

@Philip LMAO! You know it. It's fun, though. I got the first one when it came out and thoroughly enjoyed looking through the piles of toys and junk. Although it does remind me of rummaging through my parent's closet as a kid hehe

Looks amazing!

Why is there no NightSky video preview available in the e-shop alongside the game? If I'm spending $10 on a game I feel like they should include a video clip of it.

This is an amazing game, and if you are a Word Fanatic like I am (I even bought Crosswords Plus) I would highly recommend this game as an add on. It's amazing in its own right, and has kept me coming back for more every day since it was first released on the e-shop. Great bargain and nonstop fun!

So excited for NightSky today and Paper Mario later on. It actually looks kinda great!

Yeah. It was popular back in the day because there was nothing else like it. Now there's too much like it.

I wouldn't be surprised if this doesnt come to the U.S. iTunes has pretty much cornered that market. It would be nice to be able to download songs that you could share across your devices, tho, but I'm sure the iTunes Store wouldn't pick up on that new single you downloaded on your Nintendo 3DS. ;/

I remember the ads for this game when it was originally released that were in NintendoPower or Fun Club News (can't remember) featured a very real rather large accountant looking guy wearing that blue and red leotard and holding a bomb. Rather disturbing!

Is it just me, or is the e-shop going through Golf Overload recently? I used to own this on an older dsi (sold it and lost some of my dsishop games, some of which I purchased again) so I guess I'll go ahead and spent the coins to get this again. I remember it being an ok value for $2. For 100 coins, hrm...?

I've never been much of a Mega Man fan. Don't know why. He just seems a little cheesy and generic to me.

Wow. 10 out of 10. This must be pretty amazing!

I got Puzzler World XL instead of Gradius (for now, anyway) and I am totally liking Puzzler World XL far more than I thought I would. It contains many more puzzle types than Crosswords + (which I love) and for $5, you really can't go wrong there if you're a puzzle fanatic like me.

Hrm. Just got Crosswords Plus recently and I'm addicted to it so I probably won't be getting this one. Still curious to see if it's good though. Edit: I got it, persuaded by users in the thread for this game, and so far, I think it's well worth $5. With the variety of puzzles offered, you really can't go wrong. Plus, there's a glitzy wheel you get to spin when you get a puzzle correct! If they paraded a dancing elephant wearing a mini skirt across the screen it would be even better. lol

It's so funny you should write an article about Nnooo and dsiware/3ds eshop. They haven't released an original game since My Diary, correct? That was such a long time ago! Over a year? They really need to get with the program and have a new game/app out, like, yesterday. Don't get me wrong. I love Nnooo and their apps and games. But why haven't they made an original 3DS game or app ever? In a fast moving world of technology, they may be soon forgotten if they don't step up to the proverbial plate.

@TheDreamingHawk I just got a very cool instruction on how to do this. Check out the Mario Golf thread in the 3DS VC forums.. It's quite easy once you get the hang of it! I wish the instruction manual was that easy to understand (haha.) Now I'm getting hole in ones and hitting par! Good luck..

I love this game, but I still can't quite figure out how to putt right. On the first hole (practice hole) it took me 17 shots to get the ball in. LOL. I know that's abnormal, but can someone provide a clear understanding of how to swing your club? I read the manual, tried that, didn't work. I'm loving the look and feel of this game, though. Great review!

Just purchased the retail cart at Toys R Us.. only place I could find it locally Can't wait to create some masterpieces!

Figured as much.

Ok, just found out the digital download is over 3,000 blocks! I only have about 4,000 blocks left on my new SD card! So I will def be buying the retail cartridge of this one.

lol @daze0f_theweak

@KneehighPark I totally disagree. The anagrams were not a misstep, I enjoy playing them. As a huge word game lover, this is the perfect package of word games for young and old alike. I feel your review sells the game a little short. If you play the game enough, you do start to see Mario references here and there, too. There's a 'Nintendo' themed crossword puzzle, too, I just played. If everything were Mario themed, I think I would probably want to jump out a window.

People keep talking about Crosswords Plus being a rip-off for $29 (and you get a digital download of Donkey Kong Original Version, too).. Back in the day, many games in the 80's for the NES and beyond cost upwards of $40-50. Considering that was 30 years ago, this is a great value for a 3-D Crossword game in 2012 (and a Donkey Kong game, to boot) in my opinion. Mario Golf, which was just re-released today via the e-shop for 3DS cost $30 back in the day, too. Look back at history before you make judgments about today's prices and standards of value for money.

I had a feeling this one would get scored low, but its turned out to be one of the games I can't put down and I'm addicted to since I downloaded it. I would give it a 7 or 8 out of 10. As a huge Word puzzle lover, it suits every need I have. I don't need 'bells and whistles' to thoroughly enjoy a word game. It improves upon its predecessor by adding word search and spotpass puzzles and the word of the day features. Great game if you ask me!

Mario Golf!! Totally! IGN gave it a 10 out of 10 as one of the best GBC titles of all time. Just sayin'.

I KNEW IT And you guys called me crazy a few months ago... lol Until Nintendo increases the capacity of inner memory as well as gets its file sizes under control, buying a store cartridge is the best way to go.

Really. Did we expect anything more?

Awesome game! Loving it!! I especially love the weekly puzzles we get for free from Nintendo and the SpotPass puzzles. So many more ways to play. I love the WordSearch too

I played the original Paper Mario on a friends' Wii recently and WAS NOT impressed. Seemed too baby-like and easy, too weird for my liking. It takes Mario out of his element, out of the straightfoward level where you know what to expect. Scoring wasn't the same. All of those things made me hate it. Let's see if I can be proven wrong this time.

P.S. In this economy, what are they thinking??

I'll probably end up getting this later this week, but I loathe the fact of having to shell out another $7 every few months or month... IT's just unthinkable. They should have made it a better deal, more levels per pack, etc. It's just not very consumer friendly.

@RupeeClock That looks great! It's a shame Nintendo didn't actually make it look decent like this one

I'll definitely be getting this! Colors 3D was a let down for me, of sorts. The schematic and layers are too complicated for me to understand, and i often get frustrated with the 3D layering, etc. This looks wonderful! I love that you have so many tools at your disposal, pastels, etc, canvases. I purchased the first two original Art Academy dsiware programs and loved them. This one is for sure on my download list next time I have the $$ to get it.

Looks like a great sequel to a great game! I also stopped playing Pushmo because I hit a brick wall as far as progress is concerned lol.. A very tough game as you move up through the levels!

@Shworange It's totally worth it, too. Loving Crosswords Plus so far!

Wow. So many offerings, so little money ;/

It's GREAT to see so much being offered though through this weeks update! I wish every week was like this!

Can't wait for this!

Wow. Can't wait to get this soon. I've never played it, I've been waiting for this version. So I'd better start saving up for it!

$2.50 seems okay, but if this trend continues, we could very well see cheaper games with only half the game available and the rest to be unlocked for 'additional costs.' I don't like this trend. ;/

Yes!! Let's hope.

I'm totally getting Art Academy next time I have some extra fundage set aside for my 3DS. In the meantime, I'm enjoying Crosswords Plus. They said the download code will arrive in email in about 3-4 weeks, just FYI.

@Pikachupwnage True. But for a Mario game, I always want the cartridge, especially a game that costs more than $30. With Crosswords Plus, I will probably play it more frequently since I love words so much, and I don't mind having it "live" on my Home Screen.

Ok. Just got Crosswords Plus! It's only 128 blocks, so its small enough to keep on your SD Card (unlike NSMB2) and as a Word junkie, I think I'm going to love this more than the first retail version Plus I'm a huge Donkey Kong fan so I'm glad to get the freebie!

Yay! I totally want BOTH of these, but which to get first??? Hrm...

I got it, and it's fun. Def worth $2 or $3.
