Hatsune Miku Jigsaw Puzzle Switch NSP Free Download Romslab Let’s get this out of the way from the outset: this is a Hatsune Miku game, and you all know how I feel about Hatsune Miku, so the score at the bottom of the review is going to be no surprise to you. It is what it is, so let’s all just move on with that. However, now we’re through the jokey “oh it’s Matt reviewing a Miku game”… if we put aside the actual rhythm games, Hatsune Miku Jigsaw Puzzle might well be my favourite in the expanding Hatsune Miku “series” to date. I actually really like jigsaw puzzles. They’re right up there with the most zen form of entertainment there is. You settle down with a coffee or beer (depending on the time of day), and stare at a pile of pieces, clearing your mind of everything else so you can focus on a single. ROMSLAB.COM BEST SWITCH GAMES

Simple task: trying to form patterns and the associations between the tiny pieces come together to form a larger picture, and making methodical progress, bit by bit. Then comes the sense of satisfaction of finishing a puzzle. Firstly, they’re satisfying because a jigsaw puzzle is a substantial project and there’s a basic sense of achievement in finishing the “task” (especially when you’re like me and typically look to 1,000+ piece puzzles), but there’s also a sense of satisfaction that comes from the sensation that you had a role in constructing the image. I’m a terrible artist (really terrible), and so I find a cathartic joy in jigsaw puzzles. They’re a small-scale mitigation against the lack of my art skills. I enjoy like paint-by-numbers for similar reasons: basically, I do get to feel like I’m creating an art work.

Even if I’m just piggybacking off someone else’s art.

Unfortunately, jigsaw puzzles are, apparently, difficult to do in video game form. I say that because as far as I’m aware, before this Miku one, no one had managed to actually make a good jigsaw puzzle app. If you go looking for jigsaws on the Switch eShop, for example, you’re going to find a whole lot of shovelware with very little thought put into the interface, user experience or, frankly, the art. Most of the time these things really do look like someone ran a bunch of uninspiring Shutterstock photos through a jigsaw cutter piece of software, and then, for gameplay, simply dumped the entire load of pieces on a play field for you to manually sort through. Managing a mess like that to look for the pieces you want to use, and then getting them on to the “table”, was inevitably an unpleasant experience. Noel the Mortal Fate Switch NSP

Hatsune Miku Jigsaw Puzzle has had some actual thought put into it. The playing field is nicely broken up into a grid, so you can see where pieces will go (though the grid are just squares, rather than the piece shapes in silhouette, so it doesn’t make the fundamental puzzling any easier). Arrayed on the left are the pieces, in nice, neat rows that you cycle through with the L & R buttons, and then, when you find the piece that you want, you select it from that menu, which drops it on the board to place wherever you like. Is it a slightly streamlined take on the jigsaw? Yes. The pieces don’t need to be rotated, for a start, so some of the logical skills that goes into a jigsaw puzzle are not required when you play this game.

Gameplay

But the trade-off to that is that you’re never manually sifting through virtual piles of pieces and fighting with the interface. What Crypton have achieved here is a puzzle game that doesn’t feel like quick-and-nasty shovelware, and that captures the most important essence of the jigsaw puzzle: it’s relaxing and enjoyable to play. Crypton Future Media has released the much-anticipated(?) multiplayer puzzle game Hatsune Miku Jigsaw Puzzle on the Nintendo Switch via the eShop. Hatsune Miku Jigsaw Puzzle is a puzzle game that features multiplayer options for players to piece together jigsaw puzzles featuring characters from Hatsune Mike. The game can be played solo, with a pass the controller option, or up to 2 players in co-op. It doesn’t seem like the game has any online options. Northgard Switch NSP

There are 39 illustrations available, which players can choose from in 3 different sizes. The sizes of the puzzles determine the difficulty so keep that in mind. Easy (63 pieces), Normal (130 pieces), and Hard (300 pieces). Further, players can hold pieces and twist them around the shoulder buttons to examine their placement. Also, 10 Piapro public collaboration songs made specially for “Hatsune Miku Jigsaw Puzzle” are included. However, the game doesn’t support touch screen controls. Recently, Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage launched in the west on mobile devices. Hatsune Miku: Colorful Stage is a rhythm adventure game that features Hatsune Miku and her group of idol friends as they take on a tour across the world stages.

There are three difficulty settings

Players will also be able to play as Kagamine Rin, Kagamine Len, Megurine Luka, KAITO, MEIKO, and others as the cast grows to about 20, split into five bands, each with their own musical style and backstories. There are three difficulty settings, with higher difficulties having more pieces. “Easy” features 63 pieces, “Normal” 130 pieces, and “Hard” caps out at 300 pieces. As someone who only buys a physical jigsaw puzzle if it’s 1,000 pieces or more, I would have liked the option for a larger number of pieces, but I can also see how more than 300 pieces would have been unwieldy in a game that is trying to be as accessible, clean and efficient to play as possible. As it is, the three difficulty settings does still mean there’s a lot of raw content: there are 39 puzzles. Nova-111 Switch NSP

(Hatsune Miku fans will know why Crypton picked that specific number), and if you consider that it would take approximately 10 minutes to complete a puzzle on Easy, through to around 30 minutes for Hard, you’d be looking at close to 40 hours in total to clear everything that this game has to offer. That’s hardly a bad deal. Most importantly, though, these are puzzles that you’re actually going to want to finish, and that is a stark contrast to the Shuttershock art that you simply won’t care about in other jigsaw apps. One of the greatest things about Hatsune Miku is the unbound creativity that comes with her image. Crypton actively encourages fan artists to do whatever they like with the character, and they’ve largely driven her popularity in turn.
