Pushmo

February 6, 2021

Sitting at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport and realizing that Super Street Fighter IV was not going to cut it for my New Years Eve trip to Boston, Massachusetts, I opened the eShop and took a shot on a game titled Pushmo. All I knew was that it was a puzzle game with a cute little red sumo guy named Mallo. Quickly running through Pushmo during that trip remains on my mind despite the trip being chock-full of other memorable moments. It’s cutesy almost to a fault, but it's a great collection of puzzles and is one of the few 3DS titles that truly feels home on the 3D display. I never had a chance to play Pushmo World on the Wii U, and hope that Mallo makes his way to my Switch sometime in the near future.
