Title: Holy crap Mario's Picross rules
Post by: billy chilly on March 30, 2012, 11:09:48 PM
Seriously, if you have a Club Nintendo account, a 3DS and 100 coins, you have to give this game a shot: http://shigeruslist.com/2012/03/30/marios-picross/

I think I'm hooked on Picross in general now... bummed this didn't catch on in the U.S. back in the day.

Yeah, I played that earlier this year and it really helped me get into Nonogram puzzles.

I've never played much of the 2D Picross games but I played a buttload of Picross 3D and can confirm that it does indeed rule.

I still can't believe NOA localized Tokyo Crash Mobs and still haven't brought over the two Picross-e games from Europe.

I own the original GB cart, and I love it even though I'm absolutely terrible at it.

Sucks they won't put Super Picross or Picross 2 on the US VC.

Glad that Picross is finally getting some recognition, I love that type of puzzle. There's just something about staring blankly at a board for 15 minutes, then filling/crossing one square that cascades to solving another huge chunk of the puzzle. For whatever reason, I find Picross puzzles much easier to solve than Sudoku (not necessarily faster to solve, but easier to spot patterns). Only trouble is that I prefer the bigger grids now. When I got a book with Japanese puzzles in it, I just skipped to the last one and solved that first.
