Puzzle Collection Switch NSP Free Download Romslab The Nintendo DS is the perfect system for casual puzzle games. Not all of these offerings are great, but there are quite a few that make good use of the dual-screen presentation and touch screen capabilities. Puzzler Collection falls into the latter category. It is delivered by publisher Zoo, which recently gave the Wii a great casual game with Order Up!. This collection includes four different types of word and number puzzles and thousands of variations, playable in several game modes and difficulties. The game is played with the DS in book mode and is controlled entirely with the stylus. Wordsearch, Sudoku, crossword, and fitword puzzles are available. The first three types are probably familiar to you, but you may not have heard of fitword. ROMSLAB.COM BEST SWITCH GAMES

It displays a list of words and asks the player to fit them all into a grid. There is only one place each word will fit. On beginner levels fitword is quite easy, but that doesn’t keep it from being fun. Occasionally when you complete a crossword or fitword puzzle, you’ll be offered a “spellout” bonus. These are anagrams where you are presented with mixed up letters and you have a short amount of time to decipher the word they spell. Letters and numbers are input by tapping an onscreen keyboard or calculator. Games like Brain Age and Crosswords DS allow you to write your answers with the stylus, which works a little bit faster, but the tapping method is also acceptable. In wordsearch puzzles, you drag the stylus over a word to highlight it. The game didn’t always recognize my drags on first try, which was slightly annoying.

Tournament

Players can work their way through the Puzzler Tournament, completing a series of puzzles and raising their rank. If you are on a tight schedule, you can tell the game how much time you have and it will select a few challenges to throw at you. If you’re really pressed for time, you can play just one game or start Fast & Fun mode to solve a series of puzzles that are already partially completed. Up to four players can also play against each other by passing around one DS. Although I may not always admit it, I’m a pretty good at video games. However, few know of my Achilles’ heel: the puzzle genre. Even so, I enjoy the occasional puzzler and had been neglecting such games recently, so I decided to give Nintendo Puzzle Collection a chance. Wolfenstein II The New Colossus Switch NSP

Nintendo Puzzle Collection only contains three puzzle games, but it is still a compilation worth owning, even with its disappointments. All three titles have some things in common. The menu layout is the same for all three games, making the guesswork easier for importers than they might expect. All three games also support up to four players simultaneously, and those who die before a multiplayer Dr. Mario or Panel de Pon game ends can play a separate single-player game while waiting for the final results! Players can also choose to use the analog stick, D-pad, or even a GBA — a GC-GBA cable is included. In addition, all of the games have detailed statistics for each player. The standardized presentation does an excellent job of integrating what would otherwise be three individual puzzle games crammed next to each other.

Dr. Mario

Dr. Mario is probably the most well-known of the three titles and involves aligning red, blue, and yellow bi-polar pills to destroy viruses of like colors. Many gamers will be disappointed with Nintendo Puzzle Collection’s version of Dr. Mario, as it is little more than an emulation of the warmly-accepted Dr. Mario 64. It is understandable why Intelligent Systems re-used Dr. Mario 64: it features multiple modes, such as Time Attack (get as many points as possible in 2 minutes), an endless Marathon, Flash (target viruses) and 4-player multiplayer. However, as many who have played the N64 version can attest, Dr. Mario 64 just isn’t interesting. The Paper Mario-inspired story artwork is the only good thing about this game’s visuals.

The game runs at an N64 320×240, giving the bland sprites a generic SNES appearance. What’s worse is that since the game must scale everything down in 4-player mode, the already-blocky sprites become even more pixilated and it almost becomes difficult to distinguish among the viruses. Sound effects and voice samples are plain and repetitive, though the old and “new” music is acceptable. Then there’s the gameplay itself, which is utterly unforgiving and honestly quite frustrating for the unskilled puzzle gamer. Perhaps the overwhelming discontent with Dr. Mario 64 lies in the game’s invisible details, such as the randomness of the pills and virus layout, but the same gameplay has always existed in the series. Time has simply amplified this flaw. In short, there are many more enjoyable puzzle games out there—two of which are found alongside the Doctor in Nintendo Puzzle Collection.

Story

Released on the NES and SNES simultaneously, Yoshi’s Cookie is a rarer classic that many have heard of, but few have played. The goal of the game is to shift rows and columns of cookies (with connected ends) like a two-dimensional Rubik’s Cube to make complete lines of matching cookies. This concept is implemented in two very different ways: Puzzle mode and VS mode. In puzzle mode, one player attempts to clear the screen while rows and columns of cookies encroach from the top and right. Cookies “fall” down and left to fill in gaps created by removed lines. Special Yoshi cookies are wild and appear after clearing five lines of the same type. This mode provides an interesting twist, as players must pay attention to the size of TWO dimensions, but it isn’t all that engrossing. World of One Switch NSP

VS mode (also used in Story mode) still involves making rows and columns, but players are now confined to a 5×5 grid of cookies. Each player has two meters: one for time and one for points. Clearing cookies replenishes time and adds a point to the meter. You win if you get 25 points first, and you lose if your time meter runs out. What makes this an excellent party game is its competitive nature: clearing a set of Yoshi Cookies (which are no longer wild) triggers whichever event is currently displayed (in English!) above that particular person’s playing field. Not all events are self-productive, though, and careless players will often hurt themselves. The downside to Yoshi’s Cookie is its lack of variety. It’s a good party game to have on-hand, but not one that will hold your interest for long sittings.
