Lightwood Games, known for their word puzzle mini-games, have just announced another title coming to a Nintendo system. In addition to Word Party, which is coming to Wii U next week, Word Puzzles by POWGI will be released on Nintendo 3DS later this year. The interesting part is that the game will have full amiibo support – i.e. every single amiibo will be supported. Scan an amiibo with your New 3DS or with the amiibo scanner for the older models and the game will generate a word puzzle based on that amiibo.
