Are there any good Picross games on 3DS eShop?

E: I don't like Mario Picross because I hate games that give me a time limit and also tell me when I put a wrong mark on.

Don't buy Picross e1 and e2 then because they will automatically penalize you whenever you make a mistake in the easy and normal modes. You can turn this off in e3 and the later sequels.
None of the ePicross game have a time limit, though they do time how long you take solve each puzzle and if it takes you more than 1 hour (is such a thing even possible?) the final picture will be in black and white instead of in color.

No, buy all five but start with 5 or 4 since they have the most bang. All the rest are damn good too, and don't forget the DS cart version.

What is wrong with being penalized if you make a mistake?

Each time the game ''penalizes'' you it also gives you a hint and I don't want that. It's especially frustrating when you accidentally fill the wrong square.

Looks like the updated version of Woah Dave, Woah Dave Deluxe, from Choice Provisions is not only coming to the 3DS but they're also doing a Wii U version.

Now that my game's sale is now over, the results overall have been very interesting. Thought I would post some stats, as others times I've done this people liked it. Thanks to the sale, I can directly see how other games are currently doing. All data below is about download numbers.

13 day sale ($0.69) = A
5 weeks (from early Jan till early last week) = B
7 week sale at end of 2014 ($1.49) = C
Launch period, 7 weeks ($2.99) = D
Current Quarter (Jan-March) = Q1

A >>>> Any other period (sale period or otherwise)
B = largest avg per-day non-sale period. Added to the eShop Exclusives list helped a lot
A = 2 * C; C = 2nd largest DL period.
A > 3 * D
A > Q3; A = Just under Q4; Q1 = biggest period

Looks like the the eShop graphics have really paid off (Thanks again Camjo-Z!). That and people really love games that barely cost anything. Heck, game actually briefly entered the Top 20 (non-VC) list. That excited me to no end.

I still really need to sift through those things and turn them into something a bit more concrete.
(I know, I said that last time too >.>)

Thanks =)

Geez they are just throwing good money after bad at that thing. I'm glad they're so proud of their game but gee whiz. I guess if they keep flogging it I'll have no choice but to play it eventually.

There's almost nothing to the game, but I'll probably end up buying every version(on sale) at some point just to support these guys for creating some of my favourite games of all time.

Yeah, I like those guys but Woah Dave was kind of... um.

is the Deluxe version going to be a free update on 3DS or a new title?

Yeah, Whoa Dave is.. not good.

It's most my regretted 3DS purchase, and it was only a dollar.

I get what they were going for, but I have to wonder if they actually PLAYED any of the old arcade games they were mimicking, or did they design the game around pictures of old arcade games?

– Adoma (of Destructamundo fame)!
– Jr. Melchkin (of BIT.TRIP fame)!
– CommandgirlVideo (of BIT.TRIP fame)!
– Mr. Robotube (of Robotube Games fame)!
– BlokTom (of Bloktonik fame)!
– Plus a new, hidden character. Find them if you can!

is there anyway to make the 3DS auto-update the different games
or at least remote queue them so you can just boot the game to install

it's crazy to just go thru each game to see if they have an update.

---

can we make the 3DS leave an icon for each physical game you played? or does it leave no record?

Kind of how I feel. Like, if I didn't know Choice Provisions were a renamed Gaijin Games, I would actively avoid buying anything from them ever again and write them off as a terrible shovelware dev because Whoa Dave just felt like they made a game, potentially realized it wasn't fun, then released it anyway.

But with them throwing more money at expanding it, I can't help but wonder, do they realize it's not fun and want to fix that, or (more likely judging by the features list) do they think it's an already good game with waning sales so they want to breathe fresh life into it with a content patch?

Then again, looking at the eShop ratings for it, either it's more liked than we think, or the ratings are skewed because it takes far less than an hour to decide if you don't want to play the game any more.

Damn it guys, if I play it and like it, what the hell am I going to make fun of for cheap laughs in this thread? Percy's Predicament? Flavoured Cats?! Forget that!

Edit: Wanted to give you peeps a heads up as I'm giving some Steam games away here. Not eShop stuff of course but what do you do!

I've actually really enjoyed Woah Dave on the 3DS as it is, its a fun old school platformer thats fun to play for a couple of minutes here and there. Once I figured out the gameplay it has a nice risk and reward play with the more powerful you let the monsters become the higher the score you can get. For how little it was to buy I think its a great little game, just don't go in expecting something you can play for hours at a time.

Should be said though I really enjoy alot of old school single screen platformers like Mario Bros, Tumblepop, Rodland, Snow Bros and Bubble Bobble

Thank you for this info - I will definitely bypass e1 and e2!

And regarding the length of puzzles, I have a book of miserably hard Picross puzzles that have taken me multiple hours to solve, but I can't imagine an electronic game would have puzzles of this level, haha.

okay guys.
are the following games rare?

Etrian Odyessy Untold
Rune Factory 4
Code of Princess
Tales of Abyss
Starfox 3D
Paper Mario Sticker Star
Ocarina of Time

these are still sealed games in my collection - wondering which to open to extract the Club Nintendo PIN or which to just buy off eShop (thinking of the Atlus ones for eShop since they often go on sale) - any thoughts?

I think Star Fox and OOT are the only rare ones in the US. The others are still easily available (ToA was rare but got reprinted, iirc).

Not to make anyone feel bad but I got Star Fox for like 15 bucks, lol. PAL copies still seem way less expensive than their US counterparts.

wait so does this mean there's finally interaction allowed between Wii U and 3DS in NA?

Or is it saying you need to buy the DKL games to get 30% off DKCR3D, and the DKC games to get 30% off DKCTF
