‘Free to start’ Pokemon Picross is coming in December

Got your puzzles, got your Pokemon

In the first Nintendo Direct in a long time, Nintendo has announced that the popular puzzle series Picross will be getting a Pokémon-themed makeover in early December, with the release of Pokémon Picross digitally on the 3DS.

The game will be “free to start,” so don’t go expecting to actually be able to play the thing for free. What exactly this entails won’t be known until it comes out, but still… Pokémon Picross!
