Not a massive discount but the first sale and if you've gotten bored of doing jigsaw puzzles while staying at home maybe these puzzles will give you something else to do.
Also save data in S1-3 will unlock more puzzles in S4 and there's a demo now available for S4 if you haven't played a Picross game before and want to try it out.
I started playing Picross on the 3DS during lockdown, nice little distractor, you need to think- just not as much as sudoku, very pleasant.
This is great. I've played all Picross games on DS and 3DS and they are very, very rarely on sale. Got S1-3 now. It's just a big shame that they don't allow for stylus input on Switch. But you get used to it.
I don’t think a stylus would work well on some of the larger maps, it’d probably be terribly inaccurate.
You can use a capacitive stylus with the Switch.
Don't buy these. Heroin was an easier drug to give up. Picross will destroy your life.
DS Picross player here - this game is amazing and lends itself great to the switch. Awesome little distractor
I have Picross for the original DS and Picross 3d on the 3ds, the latter is great. Are these just more of the same?
It won't have any of the 3D ones from the Picross 3D games.
Picross 3D are totally different and one of the best Picross variations ever made. These ones on the Switch are just the regular ol' grid based Picross, although they are HD and have a nice interface.
Yeah, fingers crossed they release a 3D picross game for Switch! I would definitely buy it!
If I only want 1 game, should I just buy the cheapest one?
Yeah I reckon they are all basically the same. Each one seems to introduce some new mode, but really the only ones I care tot play are the standard ones. So start with the cheapest.
Fantastic games, and S4 comes out next Thursday for $15!
If you have save data from the previous 3 games you get bonus puzzles in S4.

I’ve had these on my Wishlist through Dekudeals for ages, as I love picross puzzles (the Pokémon and Zelda ones on the DS were my introduction). It’s not much of a discount, but they’ll probably never be on sale again… I didn’t know about save data for 1-3 unlocking more content in 4 though….
Edit: Purchased all 3, haha. Daisy-chaining the Gold Point discounts, I think it came out to $31.20 or so, and I’ve got another 60 gold points from the third purchase.
