You'll discover more parts that you can use to make new creations, and you can also share your works with others via StreetPass or QR codes.

Other releases this Thursday are pool sim Side Pocket on 3DS Virtual Console and another pet fish application in The Aquarium of Luck on DSiWare.

Chalk up your cue and prepare to hit the baize, in this deep yet pocket-sized pool simulation. In 9-Ball mode, simply try to knock the numbered balls into the holes. With no limit on the number of shots, it's perfect for beginners.

The Aquarium of Luck (MSL) - eShop/DSiWare - �5/500 Points
In The Aquarium of Luck, it's all about decorating your fish tank and making your fish happy. Your fish may get hungry, fall ill, the water in the tank may become dirty or a new baby fish may need extra vitamins, so it's your job to ensure the tank is clean and that the fish are well and happy. When you're not busy managing your aquarium, you can play a match-three game to earn money. Use the money to buy food, fish or decorations for your fish tank.
