One year ago Nintendo released a charming little puzzler called BoxBoy! for 3DS. You played as a literal box with eyes, who had the ability to spring other boxes out of itself and chain them together to get past obstacles. It’s a simple concept, with simple graphics (they could have been easily done on an NES) but it’s very addictive.
Now just when you thought you had quit the Box for good, he comes back with some stronger stuff! BoxBoxBoy! is the name of the sequel that’ll arrive on 3DS June 30. It’s packed with 120 new puzzle rooms and there’s bonus content like unlockable costumes. The Nintendo Treehouse took it for a spin at E3 this afternoon….
BoxBoxBoy! will cost a measly $4.99 on launch day. If you never played the original BoxBoy, it’s now on sale for $2.99 — and if you have a My Nintendo account it’s even cheaper. Go boxing today!
- Put every box to use to beat more than 120 new levels in this boxy sequel.
- Take medals, earned by completing stages, to the in-game shop to acquire new costumes like the Robo-Suit, read humorous comics, or listen to the tunes of BOXBOXBOY!
- If you’ve played the critically-acclaimed first game, BOXBOY!, you can unlock many of those costumes too, because every costume earned in BOXBOY! can be carried over into BOXBOXBOY!
- Use Qbby’s new power to create two sets of boxes.
- Discover new ways to use boxes to your advantage to get past obstacles
