I saw Elkin beat this a month or so ago and it made me wanna finally try and have a go at beating it. It's really fun! It's a great little Picross game. It's a Picross game you can get for (effectively) free on the My Nintendo awards program, and it's got 45 normal Picross puzzles, 45 of the same pictures but in a "Mega Picross" mode, where the order of the puzzles is changed and a new mode of solving is introduced. In Mega Picross, there are new number-indicators that span two rows or columns indicating an unbroken series of blocks located in that column. Even playing Mega Picross right after the normal Picross, the same pictures were totally new puzzles in how you have to totally retrain your brain on how to Picross to even solve them. There's also a Micross mode, where you do a bunch of little puzzles that make up a very large picture.
Verdict: Highly Recommended. It's a free game (effectively), and it's a great little time-waster on your 3DS if you want more Picross than just Pokemon Picross and don't wanna spend the cash on something like Mario Picross on the VC. It's as great a puzzle game as it's ever been, and this package ain't a bad for the entry fee :D

This is still the weirdest game to me. The "My Nintendo Picross" title suggests that this was going to be a larger series of themed picross games, but the only one they made was a loose tie in with the Twilight Princess remaster. It was also the only game exclusive to the My Nintendo program, so if you wanted to use your rewards points for anything before the Switch era, it was either this or like a 10% discount on the Wii U eshop version of Papar Mario or something.
It's still picross so it's good, though.

Ok, it's just Picross, but I am an enjoyer of both Picross and Twilight Princess. A solid combination. The Mega Picross puzzles are an interesting twist. And the massive Micross puzzle was fun to complete too, though I wish there were more. For a free game (with 1000 Platinum points), a good time. Something fun to just open up and play a puzzle or two here and there.
I really enjoy Picross type games. Soo much so that to validate myself in this review I must note that I have played over 10000 serparte levels on a single mobile app for these such puzzles. I simply enjoy the easy to grasp yet distracting nature of these games; and My Nintendo Picross TP does a fantastic job at porting those puzzles into a themed and accessible game. Particularly, outside of simply making another Picross game I would like to bring attention to some mechanics of this game that I had yet to see and quite enjoyed. This firstly being the addition of a clock system, compared to a traditional strick system. Wherein incorrect guesses for blocks work in a compounding manner to add time to said clock. Wherein apon the clock reaching a time of one hour or higher the level is not counted apon completion. Personally, I belive this addition to substaintally improve the enjoyabilty of each puzzle, as it forces me to be carfull about my decisions, but not as scared as I would be upon reaching the final strike in a traditional setting. As Well with this, and I am aware that such is not new, I really enjoyed how the larger puzzle was slowly unlocked via completion of the other main levels; kinda turing the whole game into a journy of sort. Overall making the game feel like a complete and tied in experience.
(P.S. I loved the detail of particals coming off of blocks you colour in, to make the puzzle feel as if you where carving in a drawing. Very cool)

Tirei meu 3DS da gaveta para terminar esse picross e devo dizer que gosto mais dele do que do Picross S que terminei recentemente.
O fato dos desenhos serem temáticos me deixam muito mais interessado em chegar ao final do Puzzle.
Ainda existe a opção do Micross que preenche um belo quadro a partir de vários picross menores.
Tudo isso em um jogo que foi distribuído gratuitamente.
Tem o Megacross também, mas esse eu sempre ignoro pois não acho muito divertido.
