Well, they probably saw what happened with anime and reverse importation. I hate it myself, but I do understand a little bit about the backwards Japanese ways.

Crashmo, the sequel to Pushmo, is coming in November.

Oh man, Crashmo looks infuriatingly fun.

Been playing a lot of Pushmo and loving it. Hearing there is an upcoming sequel is great news.

Every other platform has a means to preserve your save games either through network storage or directly on physical media. If Nintendo provides the means to back up saves and make them portable, even if it's just on your own system, I'll be one happy customer.

I don't know if anything works for 3DS games, but there is hardware available that can backup DS saves (I use an Action Replay). It sucks having to get third-party stuff just for this, but at least most of it is affordable.

Seriously. Looks like a ton of fun but you can just tell it's going to get way harder toward the end. I'd still kinda like to see them use the concept for a platformer.

Yay Pushmo sequel! Please come to US soon!

Still waiting for Picross e.....

Ditto for me.

Does anyone know of a charge cradle that supports both the original and XL?

And the sequel.

I was surprised to see that Crosswords Plus is $29.99 in the eShop. I had no clue that it was also a retail release, but that's still $10 more than the original on DS for the same basic game.

Mine should come tomorrow but I probably won't have time to play it until Thur., if then.

Mine is due to arrive Monday, can't wait! BTW how good of quality is the artbook?

I'd at least be interested in seeing how they use that in the book view when you're focusing on the bottom screen most of the time.

Two new special editions. Both look like they're Japan only, but who knows?

I might spring for the Mario one if it comes Stateside, but I'm most holding out hope for the Pikachu one that now both JP & UK are getting. C'mon NoA!

I just picked up the Blue 3DSXL. The Gamestop double value trade in was too hard to pass up. The store was even generous enough to let me do the system transfer in store after the transaction.

I'm loving this thing. This is what the 3DS should have been!

That's the least they could do!

...but good to know that system transfer is doable at the store. I guess i'm going tomorrow.
