Mario's Picross
Michael J Evans
Anybody heard anything about this game? It's supposed to be out in April,
has anyone seen it yet? I read the review in Nintendo Power (no flames on
that please, it's a good magazine) and it looked like it was a lot of fun.
According to NP, it's Super Game Boy compatable, which I can't figure out
why a puzzle game would be but oh well. Also, does anyone know how many
different puzzles there are. From the pictures they showed, there were at
least 128 because there are stages 1-8 in levels A-H and there are at
least 2 courses (Mushroom and Star) so that's 128, but I'm hoping there's
a lot more. Please post any replies. Thanks.

not much.

yep, it's been out for at least two weeks. $27.96 at Target, $28.96 at Best
Buy. I can't figure out why it's so expensive, because it's A) produced by
Nintendo and B) looks to have VERY limited appeal, especially at that price.

why not? Nintendo wants to show as much support for the SGB as possible.
Also, I imagine the pictures are a little more interesting with a splash of
color.

The box says there are 250, but they might be exaggerating. For instance, some
games would take the same picture and flip it over, calling it a 'new' level.
I'm not saying this is what nintendo has done, just that i've encountered games
like this in the past.
Anyone who's played it, please post a review. It looks vaguely little
reminiscent of MineSweeper for the PC (VERY vaguely).
