I will buy day one and then play in 10-minute chunks for the rest of my life, just like I've done with every other Picross game. I still haven't completed the first Picross E on my 3DS.

Picross 3D Round 2 is the only game in the series that I've actually played in hour-long chunks or longer. Love 'em all though.

Hell yes! Picross S is easily one of my favorite Switch games. 55+ hours played just getting all the no-hint medals.

Hopefully they'll implement touch controls this time. I love a bit of Picross, but playing with Button controls feels so slow to me that I'd rather just delete one of my 3DS save files and start over than buy a new game without Stylus controls.

AHHHHHHH!!!!!!! YESSSSSSS!!!!!!! No more Pic-a-Pix and other knock-offs to tie me over!!!! This is fantastic news. Please localize Nintendo. I'd also love if they return themed Picross' to their systems, a la Zelda picross, etc.

Nice, I'm always up for more Picross.

I hope they give you the option to remove all hints like in the DS versions though. E8 is slightly better than S.

If my 3DS is any indication, the Picross games are the best argument for why the Switch needs folders. I think I have 8 or 9 different Picross games on there. If the S games come annually I'll be getting every one.

fuck yeah, but please add some more puzzles. I'd pay a premium price if needed. Just have parity with latter E series games

Sums up my playstyle with the original! Still yet to finish it, but this will be a must buy!

Finally! It's been forever since Picross S, and E8 was torture going back to 3DS screens.

3D Round 3 would be dope though.

Hopefully 300 puzzles means 300 new puzzles and not 150 new puzzles played two ways. Regardless, I'm in. Should only cost a dollar or two after I use my gold coins.

I DESPERATELY want to play S1, but am waiting for a physical release. Hopefully they get bundled together!

60 hours and completed both regular and mega picross completely in the first one. I'm ready to have my nightly puzzles before bed again.

I never understood why they don't just release this as DLC. Isn't there like 8 3DS titles using the same assets? Why different titles?

Hope they do a release in the west soon. Enjoyed the first one and would be happy to pay for more Picross.

Will there ever be a Picross 3D for Switch? That was the best one. I'd buy a crappy stylus idc.
