Picross S Namco Legendary Edition (Switch): COMPLETED!

It’s been a while since I last completed a Picross game, but I’ve actually been playing this one off and on for six months or more. It is, as they always are, more of the same – a polished, Jupiter developed, game of Picross with loads of puzzles.

The difference this time, however, is that it’s Namco themed. Specifically, 8-bit Namco games from the 1980s. Pixel representations of the likes of Dig Dug, The Tower of Druaga, Pac-Man, Rally-X, Mappy, Xevious and several Japanese titles I’ve never heard of, all in Picross puzzle form. Excellent.

Aside from the music. I mean, I love the Mappy theme tune as much as anyone, but the same 8 seconds over it repeating overandoverandoverandover for a 45 minute puzzle? Nah mate, that got turned down fast.

Great Mappy Strategy Video
Our retro arcade strategy week is over, but this is a related video that I've been sitting on for quite a while. The Disconnector made a very nice strategy video (20 minutes) for Namco's cult favorite cat-and-mouse game Mappy. It works as both an introduction and a guide to the game as it develops.
