Picross S8 Gets Switch Release Date

gamerant.com:

Jupiter has officially announcedPicross S8 and has confirmed the upcoming puzzle game's release date for the Nintendo Switch. While for most Picross fans this will be just the latest way to sate an addiction to the nonogram puzzles, Jupiter is doing something special for Picross S8. While there won't be a new game mode or the addition of any more puzzles than normal, Picross S8 will include the biggest major addition the franchise has seen in some time — something that can be shared with friends.

Picross S8 will officially be adding local multiplayer. When it launches on Nintendo Switch, Picross S8 players will be able to group up for a total of four players and complete nonograms together. Each player's pieces will be highlighted by an identifying color, so everyone can see who did what, mistakes and all. To clarify, Picross S8 will only support local co-op. There's no online multiplayer functionality, unfortunately. Maybe Jupiter can add that later.

Jupiter has also confirmed what players can expect from the new nonogram game. There will be over 300 puzzles available through both the standard Picross and Mega Picross game modes, 30 Color Picross puzzles with animated art, 150 Clip Picross puzzles, and five massive Extra puzzles with three locked for owners of Picross 4, Picross 5, and Picross 6.

There's one last surprise to confirm from Jupiter for the release of Picross S8. The new game will feature full touchscreen support so that the nonograms can be solved with a stylus. If that wasn't enough, Jupiter will be patching all of
