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.
It takes an unreasonably large amount of time to get all of the content. The game isn't designed to be completed without paying money.
It takes an unreasonably large amount of time for you personally, for the way I play it's fine. Obviously it's designed to have people pay money but that's true of basically all video games, it's not really a criticism.

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.

Even then I'm at a hundred hours and haven't made it to 100% completion so it's similar value to the e-series if you want to go for thatIt's not bad value, it just takes time if you don't pay.

There are enough good F2P games (and cheap paid games) out there that actually respect the player's time and money...
This looks like a bad Photoshop. Like, a really bad Photoshop.The type of Photoshop I might throw together in 5 minutes if I wasn't trying very hard.
Heck, forget I could probably do it in MS Paint if I felt so inclined to.
How is this a real screenshot?
I really want to know how this will be given to My Nintendo users. I bought a physical copy of TPHD, so I hope it isn't directly tied to having the game. Since Nintendo is trying to sell the Midna and Wolf Link amiibo, I doubt they would split their focus with this reward.
I hope this will be a bonus for signing up by March 31 or something.
-sigh-
... Yep. This seems like a Nintendo decision.
Sorry, what's your problem?-sigh-
... Yep. This seems like a Nintendo decision.
I really hope this is the full game and not anything like Pokemon Picross. I'm a massive Picross fan and have beaten every damn game released in the US, including both Color Cross games. However, I couldn't bring myself to play much of Pokemon Picross. I hated the super powers crap and the F2P crap. Just give me the full game right away.
100% finished the whole e series, and Mario's Picross
Just working through the last couple of puzzles in Picross 3D, and I'm slowly working my way through Pokemon Picross.
Yeah, I'm in.
Well, that just uncovers the actual problem with Pokemon Picross: That it's a bad value as a Picross game.For what it's worth, after spending $30 in microtransactions, the entire game unlocked. So the F2P thing worked entirely in your favor.
If you don't play it a lot or don't like it? You don't spend anything.
If you love it and plan on buying microtransactions? You hit the $30 limit unlocking all content, as if it were a normal paid game.

For $30 you get 300~ puzzles.

Nope. I think there's over 600 puzzles including alt world.To clarify, that's 300 puzzles counting the alter world stuff right?

128. But they aren't all worth a full puzzle since most are ridiculously easy.How many mural puzzles are there as well, 200?

while I am on the side that some of the microtransaction stuff in pokemon picross was gross, i had fun with it and look forwards to any excuse to try out more picross
This does give me more hope for this 'my nintendo' thing surpassing club nintendo
It depends how much you want to play, I'm still playing the Pokemon one and am about half way through and haven't spent anything. I do the daily challenges and every so often get a burst of new content when a section opens up. It's enough to keep me entertained every day, plus with the Zelda one too I'll be able to switch between the two.It takes an unreasonably large amount of time to get all of the content. The game isn't designed to be completed without paying money.
Yeah, obviously plenty of other games are worse, but bad is still bad, and I'd rather not just let my standards slip. Every f2p game with a 'three games and then wait" function is just unbearable to me. It takes something fun and interrupts it constantly to ask for more money. I'd rather pay upfront than have a game constantly nagging me.

I thought the important thing about this news is not picross games are good or bad. It's about that My Nintendo service may start on March 31. Right?
