Nintendo 3DS series will soon launch for the switch

• They’re bringing the Picross e series, which was originally on the 3DS.
• The Picross e series on the 3DS spanned nine games released over a seven-year period.
• Picross S+ will include all of these titles in one package, available for $44.91.

The developer, Jupiter Corporation, has exciting news for Nintendo Switch users. They’re bringing the Picross e series, which was originally on the 3DS, to the Nintendo Switch in a comprehensive package called Picross S+. This move will significantly expand the library of puzzle games available on the Switch, which previously consisted mainly of the Switch-exclusive Picross S series.

Jupiter’s Picross games have a history dating back to the Game Boy era, and they’ve primarily been associated with Nintendo’s handheld consoles. This makes sense as their gameplay is well-suited for portable gaming. Picross games are essentially nonogram puzzles, known by various names like paint-by-numbers, pick-a-pic, hanjie, and picture logic. Regardless of the name, the objective remains the same: players must fill in or leave blank cells in a grid based on the numerical clues provided for each column and row, ultimately revealing a hidden picture.

The Picross e series on the 3DS spanned nine games released over a seven-year period, concluding in 2018. Picross S+ will include all of these titles in one package, available for $44.91. This pricing structure is interesting as it will allow players to purchase each game individually for $4.99, starting from Picross e2 onward, while the 2011 Picross e-game serves as the base game. This approach offers flexibility to players who can gradually acquire more content at their own pace, a consumer-friendly alternative compared to some modern monetization practices.

One notable aspect is that Picross S+ includes all nine 3DS games in the series, even though only eight were released in the West. The ninth game was exclusive to Japan, making this re-release the first opportunity for international players to experience Picross e9. As for the release date, Jupiter hasn’t specified an exact date but has indicated that Picross S+ will arrive on the Switch sometime in 2024.

This collection will bring back a significant portion of Jupiter’s 3DS catalog, which hasn’t been available since Nintendo closed the eShop for the dual-screen handheld in March. While there are other well-received 3DS games from Jupiter like Pokemon Picross, the licensing complexities might hinder their porting to newer platforms.

Nevertheless, Picross S+ will enhance the Switch’s already impressive lineup of puzzle games, further solidifying its reputation as a fantastic console for puzzle enthusiasts. With this release, the Switch will boast a total of 21 Picross games.
