To quote the description on Nintendo eShop:

"SteamWorld Dig is a platform mining adventure. Take the role as Rusty, a lone mining steambot, as he arrive to an old mining town in great need. Dig your way through the old earth, gaining riches while uncovering the ancient threat that lurks below...

Carve a path through the earth, and explore a deep underground world full of secrets, treasure, and terrors.

Uncover the remnants of Human civilization, a degenerate race of dynamite-wielding troglodytes.

Meet the weird and interesting townsfolk of Tumbleton and help the community get back on its feet.

Beautiful, high-res graphics with dynamic lights and multiple parallaxed background layers."

Okay, aside from some grammatical errors, that description sounds promising, and the trailer makes this game look pretty awesome! One comment on YouTube said it's like a better version of Terraria (thought he followed that up by saying Terraria was pretty terrible, so I don't know what to make of that...).

It currently costs $8.99 right now on the Nintendo eShop. I'm going to get it soon (it would be nice if I was informed about sales on this and the Wii U's eShop, if anyone can tell me how I can be informed about that kind of thing).
 
So basically it's the lovechild of Metroid and Minecraft set in the old west with robots.

will check out

I also just bought the game, and it's SERIOUSLY addicting! I'm tempted to say it's one of the best games currently on the Nintendo 3DS eShop!
 
Wait, it's on the eShop now? Nice.
 
game looks awesome and i was gonna buy it.

but now e-shop isnt working.

damnnit, i hate fridays.
 
So, for those of you who've played the game, I have a question: at what point do you start getting ore... or this blue orbs that I assume is ore? I ask because I've reached the point where my upgrades are requiring them.
 
well id answer that question but im sure you got blue orbs already haha

so after playing steamworld dig for about 4 hours or so i like this game.

The latest upgrade wasnt that great in all honesty, i mean it stops fall damage but eh

i do like the areas so far though, the toxic waste area was interesting and had some neat new enemies and nice places to go to.

The next area after that is even better though. Also loving this steam punch~
 
Just bought this. Can't wait for it to download.
 
Okay so I've been killed by blocks falling on my head more often than I'd care to admit.

But other than that, I really like this game a lot. Starts off kinda slow but so do a lot of games like this. Just got a little bit into the nuclear fallout section.

Yeah, I'm asking myself the same question.
