New puzzle by IntSys, freemium model, different amusement park areas/game modes with purchasable admission, new full 3D controls, revamped level editor (included with any purchase). Full pack is 10 euro.

First reviews and trailer available, value looks nice enough (worth the price of admission, lol):

EU, because it's called Stretchmo in NA. Would not be shocked if it's coming out there today as well when the eShop updates (3h from now)

Shahadan · May 14, 2015

Remember to delete immediately if it's 30 fps

TheSlySoul · May 14, 2015

Guessing this will be up on US by next week like Pokémon Shuffle.

Nintendo sure been stealth releasing the F2P games.
This one is first world is free, $2 for the rest right?

Good god, thanks for telling, I hope it didn't infect any of my 60fps gems...

Crossposting with Downloads thread:

Prices

Mallo's Playtime Plaza: £4.49
Poppu's Sculpture Square: £2.69
Corin's Fortress of Fun: £2.69
Papa Blox's NES Expo: £2.69

Bundle for all: £8.99

I'd say that's a fair price. That's what I'd pay for the game if it was standalone and non-F2P

Well it's not in the US press release that just came

Looks 60fps to me

Fantastapotamus · May 14, 2015

This is a F2P modell that I can feel good about.
If I want I can just pay the 10$ and be done with it, I own the game and don't have to deal with any money begging or shitty consumables.

Chû Totoro · May 14, 2015

If full pack means that you really get everything for 10 I'll go for this. Well I'll try the F2P version like it was a demo first but I won't go for the F2P model pricing for sure. I like, I pay, I don't, I go see somewhere else

JoeM86 · May 14, 2015

frankie_baby said:

Isn't it:
30fps on Nintendo 3DS
60fps on New Nintendo 3DS

Yeah, this is probably my favorite of the IAP models. Pokémon Rumble World also is not too bad since after $30 you cannot spend anymore.

I remember some other game doing that as well.

It wasn't in ours on Monday either.

They're weird. Anything can happen.

Obviously, since it doesn't update for another 2.5 hours and MIGHT not be coming this week.

Crashmo came out a week later in NA but Pushmo World came out everywhere at the same time.

Pokémon Shuffle was Japan a week before, then EU was the next week on Wednesday and NA was Thursday.
So it could come to US this week or next, who knows?

Gonna get the free version to try it out. Still need to finish Crashmo, tho. :|

If it's coming today, it's not going to be up until 12 PM EST. That's just how NOA rolls.

I hope it's up today. Crashmo was a bit too messy, but I did like approaching puzzles from four angles. This seems to take that aspect and apply it to the regular Pushmo gameplay, which I'm all for.

Storm Kyleis · May 14, 2015

Yup, the first world (7 puzzles) is free.

I liked the first one, I might try this.

When I get on the eShop again later to buy 3D Thunderblade, this better be there, or I'll be flipping tables!

Bytes · May 14, 2015

Freemium model where you have to buy each area? Should have been called Pay Mo'.

I'll show myself out.

I will probably still get it, though.

Aostia · May 14, 2015

what's this "delete it if it's not 60fps" reference? :\
btw, I liked all three Mallo's game so far, this will be a free download for sure, than I'll decide what to do (probably, as for the two Pokemon f2p games, I'll not spend money on it, but let's see...)
the global price seems in line with the "normal cost" of the previous, isn't it?

Yeah but it's £8.99 for everything. That's around what the other games were off the bat.

rjc571 · May 14, 2015

They should call it "Halfblox" since it runs at half the framerate of Pullblox and Fallblox. (Unless you play it on New 3DS, apparently.)

Some inane moron downloaded the JP version, observed the framerate and rushed to post about how offended he was.

NA release?

Scrawnton · May 14, 2015

Will be a little disappointed if it's not in NA as well today. Especially since it was a surprise reveal and release in all other territories.

Fireblend · May 14, 2015

Ok, I need this in NA today too.

No need to be an asshole. Ever think that some people might be more sensitive to low framerates than you? Try getting some perspective.

matrix-cat · May 14, 2015

The continuing eschewal of the vastly superior American '-shmo' suffix for these games is yet another entry in the endless list of Nintendo's slights against PAL gamers. Why do you hate us so, Reggie?

Will still buy, of course. There's always room for more... *sigh* Pullblox in my life

Doczu · May 14, 2015

Are there any changes to the graphics so heavy that they had to cut the framerate in half?

JoeM86 · May 14, 2015

Doczu said:

Rather than it dealing with just three layers which you interact with a la Little Big Planet, instead the puzzles are full 3D with full 3D navigation and interaction, with the ability to stretch boxes out, obviously adding more polygons etc.

rjc571 · May 14, 2015

It runs at 60 fps on the New 3DS and the New 3DS uses the same graphics processor as the original 3DS, so the lower framerate must be the result of the new gameplay mechanics rather than any graphical enhancements that might have been made.

Now i'm interested. Will download and try later.

There's also the lighting model to consider. I played some user-made puzzles in the original where the framerate would just die because too many blocks had been pulled out with all the shadowing that resulted.

daydream · May 14, 2015

Great surprise! Will download later.

Pullblox sounds like a game where you pull blocks.
Pushmo sounds like a Three Stooges simulator.

I stand by my earlier sentiment.

Zonic · May 14, 2015

Hoping this comes out today in the US as well. If the bundle is about $8 or $10, I might give in & just buy it considering I really liked Pushmo/Pushblox & the Wii U version.

Crashmo wasn't bad, but just soooo much harder

Simbabbad · May 14, 2015

Playing it right now, it's 60fps on my new 3DS. The new mechanics change EVERYTHING, it's in the same vein of Pullblox/Fallblox or Pushmo/Crashmo, but it's extremely distinct, not more of the same.

Also, it's prettier.

If you don't pay, it's basically just a demo with only the tutorial. Bought the whole pack, of course.

Doesn't New 3DS have more VRAM, which allows for graphical enhancements?

Pullblox. Drivecars. Shootmen. Cutguys. Excuse me for wanting a little romance to my titling schemes.
