After exploring nine main installments of Picross S from 2017 to 2024, alongside spin-offs like Picross Lord of the Nazarick and Kemono Friends Picross, the studio now teams up with gaming giant Capcom. This collaboration brings beloved arcade and console hits into the Picross puzzle universe, offering something fresh for puzzle enthusiasts and nostalgic gamers alike.

The fusion between Picross and Capcom’s classic games creates a unique experience on the Nintendo Switch. Fans of both worlds get to dive into puzzles themed around iconic titles like Street Fighter and Mega Man. With each completed puzzle, players unlock art and memories from these legendary games. For someone who grew up with these classics, the nostalgia is both vivid and rewarding.
- Over 150 puzzles featuring Capcom’s iconic characters

Personally, I find the integration of well-loved Capcom characters into the soothing world of Picross to be a delightful blend. It’s like revisiting childhood favorites through a new lens, keeping the essence of what made them special while adding a fresh twist.
What stands out in this edition is not just the puzzles themselves but how they pay homage to gaming history. The studio has managed to capture the charm of Capcom’s legacy while maintaining the addictive nature of Picross puzzles.
