Nintendo has put up a new video to show off several games heading to the Wii U and 3DS eShops starting this spring (along with a few retail titles like Monster Hunter Generations and Corpse Party). Tumblestone and Axiom Verge are the focus, but a sizzle reel at the end shows off a bunch of additional titles.

Here’s the full video, which is hosted by Nintendo’s Damon Baker:

I believe there are a couple of new things here. First, Tumblestone is coming to New 3DS in addition to Wii U. There are also some details about how Axiom Verge will use the GamePad. Oh, and EctoPlaza is coming to Wii U.

Jupiter has yet another Picross game in the works, and it’ll be out in Japan very soon. Picross e7 is set to be released in Japan on April 27 for 500 yen.

20×15-sized puzzles are included in the game. Jupiter is packing in 150 Picross panels, along with Mega Picross and Micross puzzles. Special panels will be available to those who have save data from the previous entries on 3DS. In total, there will be more than 300 puzzles in Picross e7.

Picross e7 makes it possible to mark parts of the panel to end up with the solution. You won’t be penalized for putting them on the board, though they’ll have to be removed before you can finish the puzzle.

Check out a trailer for Picross e7 below.
