If you mention picross and Nintendo in the same sentence, you're basically mentioning Jupiter Corporation. They've been making these games since Mario's Picross for the good ol' monochrome Game Boy. Up until Picross S8 for the Switch which is... actually being released this very week! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIBaaQajwyI Let's take a look at that part of their catalogue: - For that old Game Boy there was Mario's Picross. It was not a success in the West, so picross stayed in Japan for a while. Like the sequel Picross 2. - For the Super Nintendo/Super Famicom they made Mario's Super Picross. Which was oddly released for Virtual Console in Europe years later even though it was not translated from Japanese. I guess they realized that it would still be easy to pick up for fans of these games. - They also released their first picross series for the Super Famicom, Picross NP, utilizing the Japanese only download-to-cartridge service Nintendo Power (if you're into Fire Emblem, you might have heard of this because of Thracia 776). - There is a Pokemon Picross game for the Game Boy Color that was apparently not released, although that obviously did not stop the internet from both releasing and translating it. - For the Nintendo DS there were Picross DS and Picross 3D. At this point the games were released in the West again. *deep breath* - For the 3DS eShop there was Picross 3D Round 2 and the Picross e Series. 9 installments of that, although they didn't release e9 in the West (probably too late in the lifecycle of the 3DS). There were 3 games tied a Nintendo rewards scheme: 2 in Japan and the one in the rest of the world, which was "My Nintendo Picross: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess". They also made a free-to-play Pokemon Picross game, one with Sanrio characters (Hello Kitty & friends) and Pictlogica Final Fantasy (only in Japan, also on mobile, no longer available). - For the Switch there has been the Picross S series, Picross S Genesis & Master System Edition and two other picross games attached to Japanese series.

Arsenic Lupin posted:I was especially hoping for recs like this! You are no longer able to add funds to your account at this point, unless it is linked between the 3DS and the Switch. You can make purchases until March 2023, after which you can only download what you've bought before. But every iteration of the 3DS and its firmware is hackable, so that handheld will still be able to feed your picross addition in the future
