Picross S: Namco Legendary Edition Coming to Nintendo Switch
The beloved grid-filling puzzle series, Picross, is making a return to the Nintendo Switch this month with a retro-themed collaboration. Developer Jupiter has teamed up with Bandai Namco to release Picross S: Namco Legendary Edition on 30th May.
Similar to the previous Picross S: Mega Drive & Master System Edition from 2021, Namco Legendary Edition brings Picross puzzle action to players. In this game, players use number clues to fill in squares on a grid and reveal a complete picture. This time, the collaboration delves into Namco’s classic arcade titles for retro-game theming.
The game will feature 30 Namco titles across a total of 585 puzzles. Players can expect to see iconic titles like Pac-Man, Dig Dug, Galaga, Xevious, Rolling Thunder, and Splatterhouse among others.
Breaking down the puzzle count, Picross S: Namco Legendary Edition includes 150 standard Picross puzzles, 150 Mega Picross puzzles, five Clip Picross puzzles (each consisting of 50 smaller ones), 30 Color Picross puzzles, and a five-puzzle Extra mode.
