Picross is a puzzle game developed by Jupiter. They have partnered with Sega to bring characters from the Master System and Mega Drive into a special version of the game, Picross S Mega Drive & Master System Edition. This will launch on Nintendo Switch on August 5th.
Picross involves filling in a small grid by using numbers around each of the borders. By completing these puzzles, an image will eventually be formed. The Sega version will reveal characters from classic games such as Sonic The Hedgehog and Phantasy Star.
In total, the game will have 480 puzzles, with 300 of those being for Picross and Mega Picross, 150 for clip Picross, and 30 for colour Picross.
