NintendoWare Weekly: Pushmo

Nintendo brings another original, downloadable 3DS game to the eShop, inspiring ... not quite cautious optimism, but a cautious lessening of pessimism. Intelligent Systems' Pushmo is a puzzler about pulling stacked 3D blocks into and out of the screen to make climbing paths. It makes sense for a puzzle game on 3DS!

On WiiWare, we finally have the opportunity to try out RedLynx's MotoHeroz without paying $15 for the privilege.
WiiWare

• Paper Wars: Cannon Fodder (iFun4All, 1-4 players, 500 Wii Points): Defeat cut-paper enemies in iFun4All's self-professed "worst game ever," a tower defense game "developed by several Polish and Hungarian outsourced programmers of iFun4all team, in the cheapest way you can imagine."
• Demo: MotoHeroz (RedLynx, 1-4 players, 0 Wii Points): Have a tiny, sample-sized amount of raucous racing fun.

3DS eShop

• Pushmo (Nintendo, 1 player, $6.99): Pull and push stacked, stair-shaped blocks to create footholds, so the adorable Mallo can jump up toward a goal.

• Castle Conqueror - Against (Circle Entertainment, 1 player, $1.99/200 DSi Points): Circle Entertainment's RTS series continues with an "advanced" game.
• Word Searcher 4 (Digital Leisure, 1 player, $4.99/500 DSi Points): I just checked the shop and, yes, there have been three of these before.
