3DS Picross Revival: Nintendo Switch to Host All Delisted Titles

What makes Picross S+ even more appealing is that it will include content from Picross e9, a title that was previously exclusive to Japan. This inclusion ensures that players in Western regions can now experience the full Picross series on the Nintendo Switch.

In a rare interview with VGC, Hirofumi Murakami, the president of Picross Corporation, shed light on the preservation of the Picross series. He stated, “We have a way to preserve the data, so we have a storage system that keeps the older titles, including the 3DS Picross e series, at our studio.” He further elaborated, saying, “Because of that, we want to utilize these old games in some way in our future plans.” This suggests that more Picross titles could make their way to the Nintendo eShop in the future, potentially allowing fans to enjoy the entire series.
