Nintendo-Themed Picross
We just got Picross S3 a few weeks back, but a Nintendo-themed version would be a fantastic addition to Switch Online. We already have Mario, Zelda, and Pokemon Picross games. Samus, Kirby, and DK deserve to get in on the fun too.
If you’re unfamiliar with Picross, in the immortal words of Reggie Fils-Aime, what’s wrong with you? Like many puzzle games, the worst part is when you reach the end.
The games are typically exceptionally long, but they don’t offer much replayability. This is where an online Picross game could flourish.
With constant updates and new puzzles, the game could conceivably never end. It could also act as a platform for advertising new Nintendo games. When a new title is about to launch, they could release an update with a pack of game-themed Picross puzzles.
A competitive one-on-one Picross mode would also be incredibly intense. It sounds a bit goofy, but this would be another way to add replayability to the title.
Both players racing to solve one puzzle faster than the other would give the game a completely new feel. Solving a puzzle in Picross feels great, but the adrenaline rush of racing another player online would only add to the logic puzzle experience.
