A definite buy for me if Slitherlink pops up on these shores.

I rather enjoy Luke Harrisons take on Slither Link: http://www.vgreality.com/alphaex/flashlo...

Well it'll never be bigger than sudoku while you can print sudoku grids in the newspaper.

Maye when we're all using this electronic paper I've been hearing so much about...

I started playing Slitherlink yesterday on the DS, it is really fantastic. It is also very challenging and requires a very different way of thinking about the solution compared to other puzzle games that focus a lot more on numbers. The game really sucked me in, I only managed to solve three puzzles before falling asleep but I started dreaming about the game which is very rare. Somehow my brain wanted to solve the 4th puzzle while I was sleeping. Good stuff this Slitherlink.

But Slitherlink puzzles can be printed as well, can't they?

@lasermink:

Actually yes, you're right. I imagined you having to control the snake around the boxes, but there's no reason you couldn't do that with a pencil!

I need to get a clue before making comments.

You can even buy lots of slitherlink puzzle books direct from Nikoli (the people who did the ones in the DS version) here.

They're well worth it. The huge one is particularly good fun :-)

This is great news... makes me suspect that we might see slitherlink over here after all, so I don't have to try to decipher the Japanese.

Slitherlink, Sudoku, Tetris and the like have always left me stone cold. I like games to at least make some effort to disguise the fact they are totally wasting my time.

Slitherlink is good but I prefer Picross. Just seem to become more engaged with it.

I have to agree with you there. Luke Harrison is something of a legend, IMO.

And don't wait for a Euro release of Slitherlink. You can import the Japanese version for about £15, and there's a translation guide available online. (I'm starting to feel a bit dirty now.)

Just buy it.

there's a game called "Brain Buster Puzzle Pack" coming out from 505 in a couple of months (or years, knowing them) which seems to include Slitherlink along with Sudoku and three other japanese puzzly things, if you're interested in that sort of thing. Dunno how it compares to the Hudson version though.
