Switch is getting its fourth Picross S game next week Includes a total of 485 puzzles. News by Matt Wales Reporter Updated on 15 Apr 2020 22 comments Fans of numbers, squares, and pictures magically arising from the canny application of those numbers and squares, should prepare to cheer; the fourth instalment in developer Jupiter's hugely entertaining Picross S puzzle series is heading to Switch next Thursday, 23rd April. Picross, if you're unfamiliar, is a classic form of logic puzzle (frequently referred to as nonograms), in which players attempt to determine where to place squares on a grid by cross-referencing number sequences found on each row and column. If completed correctly, those squares will ultimately form a simple image. Nintendo has been publishing Jupiter-developed Picross games on its consoles since 1995, and its Picross S series has delivered a slick, no-nonsense continuation on Switch. Picross S4 will feature a total of 485 puzzles which, according Jupiter, is the highest number to be included in a Picross S game so far. 300 of these are a combination of standard Picross and Mega Picross puzzles, 30 are Colour Picross puzzles, and there are 150 piece puzzles in Clip Picross mode - which tasks players with solving smaller puzzles to complete a larger image. Picross S4 also promises several quality of life improvements and five bonus Extra puzzles, consisting of 30x30 grids and up; three of these can only be accessed by linking the play data from Picross S, Picross S2, or Picross S3. Picross S4 will cost £8.99/€9.99/$9.99 USD when it comes to Switch's eShop on 23rd April.
