My Nintendo Picross: Zelda TP leaked (March 31st)

Thanks guys - maybe I'll just go with the Mario's Picross for the GB first.

I would actually recommend not doing this. There have been a lot of quality of life improvements to the games since then that the GB game lacks.

That's funny, I'm doing my write-up for the 52 games thread and I specifically talked about the lower level of QOL in Mario's Picross.

I'd really recommend Pokemon Picross or Picross E6 for a first timer. The NES and SNES games have to be played with button controls rather than the stylus, which is a bit of a pain, and there are some nice help functions in the new games if you need them. Pokemon is free to start, so it's the easiest way to just get a taste of what it's all about, and E6 is the best value if you decide you want to spend money.

He was counting Picross 3D, it reads like.

Correct. It'd be the 10th game (if Picross 3D 2 makes it out before Twilight Princess Picross). 9th if it doesn't, since I've already given up hope on the Club Nintendo Picross game getting a release in Europe.

I wonder if there's more stuff just sitting on their severs that we don't know about...

If they already uploaded it, someone would probably have noticed.
It just occurred to me, this is the same way Twilight Princess HD leaked. Someone didn't learn the lesson they should have from that!
Yeah there's no reason to release generic Picross games anymore now that the expanded audience is gone, using core franchises makes the games more appealing.
Speaking of Nintendo franchises, why is there no rhythm game based on Nintendo games? The original songs in HarmoKnight were nice but playing to the Pokemon theme was hype.

Nintendo's QOL lives on!
They're not crucial in the slightest. Mario Picross is a fine place to start.
I really disagree. Even ignoring stuff like touch controls or Mega Picross, basic things like the laggy cursor for selecting squares makes it terrible to play.
Probably.
In that case, perhaps Picross 2 will be digital-only (while Rhythm Heaven Megamix & maybe Style Savvy 3 receive physical releases).

Ignoring everything else, Pokémon Picross is obviously the place to start because it's free so how can there be a more perfect introduction than that? If it turns out you don't like it, you've lost nothing. If you do like it, get Mario Picross.
There's not even an argument to be had here.

Mario's Super Picross could also grace the 3DS Virtual Console. I'd be all for it.

Was going to make this in reply, but yeah, karma cow is right.
I honestly think Mario's picross should only be played once you've exhausted your other options.

holy shit yes??
The puzzle design in mario picross has been substantially better than the puzzles in pokemon, IMO. Pokemon is nice to try to see if you like the base mechanics, but once you beat world 1 you should really get mario's picross.
I don't use touch controls either which is what makes Mario Picross annoying to play. You simply cannot play as a fast since the cursor can't keep up.
There's also a lot of cruft in Pokemon Picross, especially when the F2P stuff has not been disabled through buying enough stuff.
You can disable F2P?

Friendly reminder that Wii Virtual Console releases were leaked all the time by just by peeking into their server, at least until they plugged that hole.
This kind of leak really isn't anything new.

Sounds awesome, but I can't get TPHD anytime soon, so I betternot miss out or they better sell it seperately.
Also sounds like there will be other Picross games basedon new releases. Kirby Robobot pls.

spend 30 bucks worth of picoins and the game leaves you alone with buy-begging

I think this is happening because you have so many people skimming through Nintendo's websites looking for NX info .
I can agree on that. It's a bit slower.

I hope this is either fully free, something I can pay for fully at a reasonable price, or something with a lot smaller purchase amounts than Pokemon Picross.
I love Picross, but Pokemon Picross was a really bad value compared to the other Picross games. Im still trying to play it with only putting about $5 into it and there are a good 15 levels or so to unlock before then, which means doing a LOT of daily challenge puzzles.

It's not bad value, it just takes time if you don't pay.
I mean, it's bad value for $30 if you unlock the whole thing compared to the e-series, but it's not bad value in and of itself because there's no need to pay that if you have the slightest patience.
