Title: Mario's Picross Coming to European eShop
Post by: Traveller on July 13, 2011, 11:31:09 PM

Lots of picture puzzles await.

Tomorrow, Mario's Picross for the original Game Boy will be available to purchase from the European Nintendo eShop for £3.60 / €4.00

Originally released in 1995, the game features over 200 puzzles, and after completing all the game modes, a time trial mode is unlocked for an even greater challenge.

I never got to play the original Picross. Here's hoping it releases in the U.S. eShop soon. At least we get Game & Watch Gallery tomorrow, which is pretty cool as well.

As much as I love Picross, I don't think I'd buy this. The game is so well-suited to a touch screen that it would be hard to be limited to a D-Pad and buttons.

I have the original Game Boy version and it works fine with the control pad and buttons. It doesn't need a touch screen to be addictive and fun.

I can't go back to 2D version of the game, it seems not as fun......I still gotta finish Picross 3D. That game is easily one of the best $20 investments I have ever

I think we all can agree that's probably a false statement.  That being said since you already own all the VC you do'n any reviews?

We don't review VC games, we just do the recommendations, which I am in charge of (can you figure out why that is?). That's the only reason I bought Baseball, so I can do the recommendation for it.

Here's a sneak peek of my Baseball recommendation: Don't buy Baseball on the 3DS Virtual Console for any reason.
