In a year already brimming with standout video game releases, puzzle fans have more reason to celebrate with the arrival of "Picross S Capcom Classics Edition" and "Picross S SNK Classics & NEOGEO Edition" on Nintendo Switch.
Developed by the prolific puzzle experts at Jupiter, these latest Picross editions pay homage to two legendary publishers, Capcom and SNK, bringing their iconic retro catalogs to life through addictive grid-based puzzles. Jupiter, widely known for its steady output of Picross games, has maintained a strong presence on Nintendo platforms, dating back to the popular "e" series on Nintendo 3DS.
These new entries continue the tradition by offering all the signature modes and challenges the community has come to expect while incorporating the beloved worlds of Capcom and SNK into hundreds of new Nonogram puzzles.
Players can now reveal pixelated renditions of Street Fighter, Mega Man, Final Fight, Metal Slug, King of Fighters, and many more classic titles with each solved grid. "We wanted to create a collection that not only challenges players but also celebrates Capcom and SNK’s artistic legacy," a representative from Jupiter explained in recent press materials.
The result is a set of robust titles featuring standard Picross, Mega Picross (with combined number clues for added complexity), Color Picross (adding another layer of challenge), Clip Picross (with segmented puzzles forming larger images), and fresh time attack modes for those seeking extra excitement.
Both editions are further enriched by curated soundtracks, allowing players to immerse themselves in classic tunes from Capcom or SNK as they solve. Switch players will also appreciate thoughtful quality-of-life enhancements.
Recent updates add grid references, allowing for improved marking and easier puzzle-solving—especially in multiplayer sessions.
Notably, mouse support is included for users on the anticipated Switch 2, complementing the already robust touch and traditional button controls, ensuring there’s a play style for every preference. Jupiter continues to evolve their Picross offerings, previously collaborating with SEGA and Namco for specialized editions.
With Capcom and SNK joining the lineup, the series showcases more of the gaming industry's rich history.
Each Picross S title provides hours of content, making the decision of which edition to purchase a matter of personal nostalgia and favorite franchises. Both "Picross S Capcom Classics Edition" and "Picross S SNK Classics & NEOGEO Edition" are now available exclusively on Nintendo Switch via the Nintendo eShop, solidifying Jupiter’s legacy as the definitive developer for Nonogram puzzle experiences.
Whether you’re a longtime fan or a newcomer drawn in by iconic retro properties, these collections offer a fresh way to connect with gaming’s past while enjoying time-tested puzzle gameplay.
