Re: PICROSS S GENESIS & Master System Edition Sees Its First Ever Discount (US and Europe)

I remember an old nonogram game for Neo Geo that had a little boy anime character, a little girl anime character and a gorilla that burst into tears and cried out that it wanted to be a beautiful woman.

I have no idea what it was all about - the ROM was Japanese, so I couldn't read the text. But It was so memorable and full of personality. It was mad and risky.

All of these Picross games strike me as so bland.

I get why some people would not think this is worth it, which I think is the norm for all special editions. Most of the stuff included is tat, and the cards are a bit crap imo.

But the art book is glorious. Far better than expected. It was the reason I got it and I think it's fantastic! But I collect artbooks, especially those focussed on concept and development art. I just wish there was text explaining the images properly.

@KateGray I'm so jealous that you got to hear it live. I tried to plan an international trip to coincide with a performance (I'm in South Africa), but couldn't manage it.

Just hearing the music in the trailer hit me in the feels, can't wait to play this again.

While everyone goes wah wha wha about freedom of expression and hand wringing about what the world is coming to, This basically amounts to the devs going, " Oh crap! thats not what we meant to say at all!"

Creatives need feedback, just like anyone else. When you find out that you did not achieve your intention, you fix it. So the outcome will be closer to what they intended, based on user feedback.
