Jupiter and Capcom have officially announced the upcoming release of Picross S Capcom Classics Edition for the Nintendo Switch, set to launch worldwide on November 27, 2025.
This highly anticipated digital title will be available on the Nintendo eShop, retailing for £16.19 ($17.99).
Picross S Capcom Classics Edition marks a significant collaboration between Jupiter, the developer acclaimed for its popular Picross series, and Capcom, one of the gaming industry’s most storied publishers.
Fans of both puzzle games and retro gaming can look forward to a unique fusion, as classic Capcom characters and franchises are reimagined as pixel art puzzles for the Nintendo Switch platform. The latest installment in the Picross S series features content from 40 legendary Capcom games, allowing players to unlock and recreate iconic visuals from renowned titles such as Ghosts ‘n Goblins, Mega Man, Bionic Commando, Breath of Fire, and Super Street Fighter II.
By solving picture crossword puzzles, players gradually reveal detailed pixel art illustrations, celebrating Capcom’s extensive history in the industry. A key addition in Picross S Capcom Classics Edition is its comprehensive Art Gallery feature, where players can browse and appreciate key game visuals at their own pace.
This gallery is complemented by new grid guidelines, introduced by Jupiter to streamline puzzle-solving and improve the user experience for players sharing their progress via live streams or social media. In a media statement, Jupiter emphasized their aim to make the classic puzzling gameplay even more accessible and engaging for both new players and longtime Picross fans.
Additionally, the Capcom collaboration not only showcases beloved characters but also demonstrates the ongoing evolution of the Picross brand on modern hardware. When the title arrives exclusively on the Nintendo Switch via the Nintendo eShop, players can enjoy an updated control scheme optimized for Nintendo’s latest Joy-Con controllers, ensuring intuitive interaction whether at home or on the go. Picross S Capcom Classics Edition continues Jupiter’s tradition of delivering high-quality puzzle experiences, while Capcom’s legendary roster provides a nostalgic boost for fans revisiting their favorite franchises.
With its release, the eShop library further cements the Nintendo Switch’s status as a must-have platform for puzzle and retro game enthusiasts. As the release date nears, both Picross fans and Capcom aficiondos alike can look forward to uncovering a treasure trove of pixel art puzzles rooted in video game history.
