In addition, the app lacks any sort of tutorials, guides, or stencils to help novices along.Īnother eyebrow-raising aspect of this port is that the Cut and Copy functions perform exactly the same as each other. The 3D effect is sadly limited to a graphic on the game's title screen - it could have been awesome to see your pixel creations pop in 3D.
While these additions are welcome and certainly improve the package, it's the things that were left out here that keep Pixel Paint on 3DS from being a must-own. This version also lets you view the controls without exiting to the main menu, which helps reduce having to save and leave your drawing while starting out.
The main feature upgrades in the 3DS version of Pixel Paint are an eraser tool (so you don't have to change your pencil or brush to white to erase), a set of shape tools to easily create circles, squares, triangles and straight lines, and the ability to export your drawings to your system's SD card (which is much appreciated since it doesn't lock your drawings to the system).
