Show some love to your pets and they’ll begin to recognise you, and make the most of 3D technology by stroking your puppies and kittens under the chin just like in real life.

Get your thinking caps on for puzzle action in 3 Heroes Crystal Soul, available on DSiWare this week. Your challenge is to protect the kingdom of Crystennia, a land that uses Crystal Soul as its main energy source. You are the Crystal Champion and must protect Crystennia by destroying the enemy monsters created by Rune Crystals.
