Jupiter's Picross series
A series of nonogames spread across Nintendo platforms. Many feature characters from the Mario series, though this aspect has been dropped for the DS iteration. Jupiter's Picross games just feel a bit nicer than other companies': the hammer and chisel pointers, and the crunchy way they mark the board, is not quite matched elsewhere.
Games
- 1995 - Mario's Picross
- 1995 - Tamori's Picross
Precursor to Mario's Super Picross, released as a series of broadcats for the Satellaview. Dumps of several are available. - 1995 - Mario's Super Picross
Maybe the best version of the game. Has since had its first western release on the PAL Virtual Console. - 1996 - picross_2
The second Game Boy version adds an unintrusive map, where players move between puzzles. Most puzzles are self-contained portions of larger puzzles: and it works! - 1999 - Pokémon Picross
Unreleased Game Boy Color game. Has since been leaked. - 1999–2000 - Picross NP series
A series of 8 nonogame compilations released via the Nintendo Power system. They feel squeakier than Mario's Super Picross, but feature a wider variety of Nintendo, and non-Nintendo, themes. Also some interesting multiplayer modes. - 2007 - Picross DS
DS version, where bigger puzzles include an unfortunate screen scrolling feature. Replaces the old-Nintendo Mario theme with the sterile new-Nintendo DS/Wii theme. - 2012–14 - Club Nintendo Picross
- 2013 - Pictlogica Final Fantasy
Free-to-plat, Final Fantasy-themed game, with regular puzzles, character abilities, and actiony battles. - 2015 - pokemon_picross
Overly drawn-out, free-to-play. You catch and equip 'mons which have different powers they can use to help you clear boards. - 2016 - My Nintendo Picross: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
1000 point My Nintendo reward. - 2013 - Pictlogica Final Fantasy ≒
3DS version of pictlogica_final_fantasy, with a number of gameplay changes to fit a different revenue model. - 2017 - picross_s
- 2018 - sanrio_characters_picross
- 2018 - Kemono Friends Picross
- 2019 - Picross Lord Of The Nazarick
Offshoots
- 2009 - picross_3d_series
Version where puzzles are built in a 3-D grid. Made for the DS by HAL. A sequel has since been released in Japan for the 3DS.
