SteamWorld Dig has been universally acclaimed and has earned great reviews: 10/10 from PocketGamer, 9.5/10 fromIGN and 9/10 from ONM, to name just a few. IGN also thinks it’s one of the ten best games ever made for the Nintendo 3DS, and SteamWorld Dig is shortlisted for Handheld Game of the Year.

About a week ago we finished up the Japanese version of SteamWorld Dig. It will come out in Japan some time in November.
As a tiny snippet, We also learn that work is already underway with another title in the Steamworld series. Brjann Sigurgeirsson is quoted as saying:
Also, I’ve played through the first playable code of the next game in the SteamWorld series. I was excited and nervous, but it is… AWESOME!
