Word Puzzles by POWGI will be released soon for the 3DS and has just been announced for the Wii U as well.
Word Puzzles by POWGI contains six different pen-and-paper style word puzzles which are solved using the stylus and touch-screen controls. Featuring hundreds of hand-crafted word puzzles, and with a firm focus on the content, it’s a no-fluff puzzle variety pack that’s ready to play whenever you are.
As well as solving the included puzzle content, players can unlock special, custom content by touching an amiibo. Each figure generates a unique personalized puzzle containing its nickname. Every amiibo is supported in the release, including the Animal Crossing amiibo cards.
