New 3DS Game by Paper Mario Developers Coming to the eShop

Intelligent Systems, the developers behind Paper Mario (published by Nintendo), are releasing a new game, and it’s coming out next week, at least in Japan.

The game, which will be downloadable for the Nintendo 3DS, is entitled Hiku-osu. You play as Maro, who must save his village by solving the very puzzle that has covered the town. You must push and pull blocks in order to create pathways and move to each successive stage.

The 3DS game will feature over 250 stages total, not counting the original levels you can create using the game’s creation mode.

The game definitely has that Nintendo-esque style, visually looking like a blend between Kirby and Paper Mario; it even features some classic Nintendo themed art (keep your eyes peeled for Mario cameos).

Hiku-osu will be available in the eShop starting on October 5, for ¥700 ($9). You can check out the game’s official site Andriasang
