Pushmo World now out for the Wii U!

[Thirdkoopa]

Pushmo World, a puzzle/platformer hybrid, makes its way to the Wii U. It is the sequel to Intelligent System's 3DS puzzle games, Pushmo and Crashmo. Pushmo World boasts 250 new levels.

Both previous installments in the series, Pushmo and Crashmo, have been well received. The Pushmo series is known for being a head-scratcher, allowing the player to take their time and experiment with their ideas until they find a proper solution to the puzzle at hand. Most levels can be solved in several different ways, and adding to the game's already robust replay value.

If that's not enough puzzles, Pushmo World brings back the Create-A-Puzzle feature from Pushmo and Crashmo. These puzzles can be shared between players, and if previous entries in the series are any indication player-created puzzles will greatly add to Pushmo World's longevity.

Pushmo World is now out in all regions for $9.99 on the Nintendo's Wii U eShop! It has garnered some impressive reviews, including a pair of 90s from Polygon and EGM. Crashmo and Pushmo are available on the 3DS.

Mallo would make for a really fun Assist Trophy.

This game is EXCELLENT. A cute, simple, relaxing diversion that will keep your dome engaged with the latter half of the puzzles.. Even without the ability to make and exchange puzzles with others, you still get exceptional value for its price. If you don't got a Wii U, at least pick it up on the 3DS eShop. Can't go wrong.

Pushmo is super adorable and a lot less frustrating than Crashmo. Get it on the Wii U or 3DS Shop, people. One of the best experiences I've had on 3DS and puzzle games in general...

 

[StaffofSmashing]

So is Pushmo World like Godzilla on the Game Boy except better?
CAN MALLO ATOMIC BREATH!?

 

[Pacack]

Pushmo for SSB!

 

[Pazzo.]

I will be picking this up... I'm very interested.

 

[Ragna22]

For a second I thought it was a Super Paper Mario port to the Wii-U, I would've been all over that.

 

[Banjo-Kazooie]

I actually wouldn't mind if Mallo became a full fighter in Super Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS. winning the spot over Dillon (always felt those two were like game brothers). Surely Sakurai can make a good moveset. If not, I think an AT or even a Pushmo stage would fit very nicely.
Also, Pushmo World is the best. I always hop onto it to calm down after getting frustrated in Mario Kart 8 online.

 

[Sahfarry]

I'm questioning whether or not if I should get the WiiU or 3DS version... or if I should get it at all. I love puzzles and all, but is there replayability? I only download titles if it has a lot of replayability.

 

[Drazile]

I'm slightly disappointed that there are no new gimmicks, and that this is just a sequel. Fallblox (or Crashmo) was a huge change to Pullblox (Pushmo), and I was hoping that their next game would be similarly different.

[Daftatt]

This game is my jam

 

[TheAnvil]

I love it. Hopefully he ends up in Smash in some form.

 

[Capybara Gaming]

In B4 Smash stages!

 

[Mega Bidoof]

In B4 Smash stages!

Do you mean Pushmo stage in Smash, or a Smash stage in Pushmo?

 

[Capybara Gaming]

Do you mean Pushmo stage in Smash, or a Smash stage in Pushmo?

You know very well what I meant. Smash stage based off Pushmo.

 

[Mega Bidoof]

You know very well what I meant. Smash stage based off Pushmo.

Oh, sorry.
I thought you my be referring to an inevitable Smash Ball shape puzzle in Pushmo, as there were Nintendo puzzles before.

And yeah, there probably will be a Pushmo stage on 3DS.

I actually think a Smash Ball shaped puzzle COULD be the Stage.

 

[Mega Bidoof]

I actually think a Smash Ball shaped puzzle COULD be the Stage.

I'd see it being a changing stage, where the puzzles either change throughout the match, or you have a different puzzle each match.

So like Tortimer Island?

 

[Mega Bidoof]

So like Tortimer Island?

Precisely.

 

[BobEugCox]

There is no potential move-set for little Mallo (though I guess I would have said the same things about Mr. Game & Watch and the Ice Climbers... and R.O.B... and Peach and actually a lot of people in Smash Bros) BUT I think Pushmo should receive representation in Smash Bros in the form of a Stage... complete with Mallo running around in the background pushing and pulling blocks that can damage you and your opponents.

If you're into making stages or pixel art, this is the game for you. Pushmo U has a slightly more fleshed-out level creator, but Pushmo 3DS is portable.

If making stages isn't your cup if tea, there's 200 levels on 3DS and 250 on Wii U, and you can download more through QR codes or the Wii U exclusive level database on Miiverse. (Technically, you can snag stages off Miiverse on 3DS because the QR code system is the same, but you can't download ones with Wii U gimmicks or get them directly on the 3DS Miiverse, you have to log-on with something else and scan that screen. No sharing to Miiverse on 3DS, through.)

Personally, I think Pushmo 3DS would be the best way to start, but the Wii U one is ever so slightly easier. You really can't go wrong.

Oh, and watch out for Crashmo on 3DS. It's pretty darned brutal. Don't buy that first.

Yeah, I've hardly beat half of the Crashmo/Fallblox levels.

 

[Deleted member]

Despite having a creative flair myself, the 3DS game didn't hold onto me much.

I think I'll skip out on this one, though it's always appreciated to see a new Nintendo IP come out and expand itself.

 

[κomıc]

I'll hold off until it's on sale... I still have to beat Pushmo and Crashmo on 3DS. I got too distracted with custom levels.

Such a great puzzler and anyone who didn't play it on 3DS but have a Wii U NEED to play this especially if you're a fan of puzzlers.

 

[Mint Alicarth]

I've never heard of this game, but it looks kind of interesting.
