Gaming Jigsaw puzzle games...

[shamiko_]

so are there any jigsaw puzzle games out there?

is there a homebrew if there isn't one?

There's a whole series of them called things like Puzzle: Baby Animals and Puzzle: Monkeys in Hats and stuff like that. Just go to your local ROM site and search for games with the word 'Puzzle' in the title.

n.b. I made up the monkey one

2437 - Jigsaw World - Daigekitou Jig-Battle Heroes.

JIGSAW WORLD: Daigekitou! Jig-battle Heroes
Essentials: Local Wireless, Download Play, no Wi-fi

This game is a ridiculous amount of fun. You solve jigsaws by carrying the pieces to where they go, and are competing against other AI or players. When the puzzle is done, the person with the most pieces down wins. You can run by someone and grab the piece they have, and each character has different special moves, from freezing all other players to automatically setting any pieces you touch in the next 6 seconds, etc.

Very high energy, and nonstop frantic play. Extremely, extremely easy to play for someone who doesn't know any written language, japanese or english. Seriously, if you can work a DS in any way, you can handle this. You can even press start and skip the dialogue sections completely, making story mode a breeze to get into and start playing.

Also there's an Etna (disgaea) cameo as an unlockable character, and you can play as Cat-bread (which has the most destructive and awesome special of all). There are at least 144 puzzle images to be unlocked, and a few unlockable characters other than Etna.

5/5
