More picross comes to the Wii
Assuming you have the Opera Channel and an internet-capable Wii, there are sites that let you play picross with Wiimote compatibility for free. We wouldn't mind paying for a picross game, though, as long as it offered fun gameplay and came at a budget price. That's why we're once again jealous of Japanese gamers, who are getting not one but two picross-esque games for us to envy.The first comes from Hudson, and is a part of the company's puzzle series. This disc-based game (called Puzzle Series Vol.2: Illustlogic + Colorful Logic) offers 600 picross puzzles, only some of them are doubly hard since they involve multiple colors.The second title is a WiiWare game that we already told you about, called Oekaki Logic. Is there a likelihood of either of these games getting localized? Probably not, unfortunately, but we really hope that Hudson comes through on this one.[Via Siliconera]
Oekaki Logic puzzles Japanese WiiWare tomorrow
As part of tomorrow's WiiWare update, publisher G-mode is releasing a puzzle game called Oekaki Logic. It's basically a nice-looking, colorful picross game for 500 Wii Points, which sounds like a winner to us. Should you exhaust the puzzle selection found in the base game, G-mode will be offering monthly content packs, from June through October, for 300 points. Normally we get all huffy about DLC, but adding new puzzles like that seems like a good idea, and 300 points is a pretty minor charge for the convenience.Other convenient features include an "Easy Focus" system that dynamically tabulates row and column numbers, and a selection of color schemes designed to go with the player's mood. Or, rather, to change the player's mood from "frustrated."[Via GAME Watch]
