E8 came out right at the end of 2017, but E9 never got localized as it came out August 2018 in Japan.
Yeeeeeeeeeeees! Just earlier this week I was thinking it'd been a long time since we got our last picross!
3DS picross games will be 50% off
What's that funny-looking number between 8 and Sanrio?

so weird they didn't localize it, not like there's anything to localize.
Music in that trailer sounds lovely
I have so much of S4 left that this'll probably be a ways out for me, but maybe this announcement is what I needed to get back into that one

Partly because I read this comment first I'm sure but it was pretty Plastic Love-y for a bit there lol
WOOHOO!!! the GOAT has returned :)
i only wish they had more giant and color puzzles
probably they had more time to create the puzzles, now that they are stuck at home

same. i love the color mode but 30 is a really small number of puzzles.
i feel like this is it tho, from now on each new game will have these same modes and these same number of puzzles.

yeah, color mode is new to these games (in s3 and s4) and it's a really fun spin on the picross formula. unfortunately tho, there's only 30 color puzzles in each game.
not yet. it's been MIA since it was announced 5 months ago.

i really like 3D too. it doesn't really have much to do with jupiter's series tho, since those games are developed by HAL and published by nintendo.
there's a really good picross 3D clone on the eshop called "voxelgram", you should check it out.
Good lord.
I first got into Picross with Picross DS which was an absolutely massive game (and it even had free DLC at the time). Then I played all of the first 3D Picross game which I also loved.
But on 3DS the Picross games came so fast I think I only ever bought 2 of the "E" games and then the 3DS 3D Picross but never actually finished them.
The most I played of any of them was the Pokemon Picross, the F2P one.

I think I could manage to localise it in an afternoon if they provide me with a Japanese to English dictionary. Same with the two Club Nintendo ones.
Me too. These releases are feeling more and more low effort to me.
only 30 color puzzles AGAIN??
cmon Jupiter. at this point im paying $10 for 30 unique puzzles and some other fluff.

Missed opportunity not having the title be

I really wish Mega Picross had its own puzzles. Wasn't that the case in their e game they were introduced in? Never been the same since.

oops, it was a typo in the OP, the sale is meant to start on november 19th (at least in japan, but usually these sales are WW. might start a day later in the rest of the world)

Hey so, what would be a good picross game for a beginner? I'm notoriously bad at teaching and I already get picross so I tend not to pay attention to the learning curve and tutorials, and I want to recommend a good one for my girlfriend who likes the idea but struggles with it, she's only tried konami picross.
OP
OP
pretty much always the latest one, since they have the most content. S5 will have the same number of modes and puzzles as S4 tho, which will soon to on sale. maybe start with S4. the games have good tutorials, and if she's played the konami mobile one she should have an easy time with the S games.
Well you missed my point, she's rubbish at it. She needs something easier that will explain things well.
OP
OP
the S games on switch do have pretty good tutorials, as i said. there's also a bunch of good guides for beginners on youtube.
My first time playing Picross. I have an old 3DS laying around. Which one do you all recommend I get?
So, I haven't played a picross game yet, so any suggestions? Will it make sense to buy all the games available on Switch?
OP
OP
just get one and see how you like it. getting S4 once it goes on sale soon is a good idea.
if you want to check out a free version to see how you like it, you can check out konami pixel puzzle collection on mobile.
