Over the past few years, Jupiter has created several Picross e games for 3DS. After the series reached 500,000 downloads on Nintendo’s dedicated portable, the studio is now turning its attention to Switch with its first release for the console: Picross S.
Picross S will contain 300 puzzles in Picross and Mega Picross modes. 5×5, 10×10, 15×15, and 20×15 puzzle sizes are included.
Tying in with its appearance at the Tokyo Game Show, Area 35 has prepared the opening movie for Tiny Metal. See the video for the upcoming Switch game below.
The next character trailer for Pokken Tournament DX has arrived featuring Braixen. Take a look at the new video below.

Apple released iOS 11 this week, but it’s causing a couple of issues for Miitomo users. Nintendo sent out a status update about the situation in a news post within the app today.
Currently, these are the two main problems:
– An error occurs that prevents the sharing of answers or QR Codes via Facebook
– An error occurs that prevents the sharing of answers, Miifotos, or QR Codes via Twitter
Nintendo is examining both of these issues (as well as an issue pertaining to smart devices with Twitter app version 7.7), and is already preparing a fix. An announcement will be sent out when a fix is ready.

When the New 3DS was announced, Nintendo had some commercials in Japan featuring Japanese singer Kyary Pamyu Pamyu to show off the new product.
Well it seems the outfit that Mario wore in one of advertisements for the New 3DS has found its way in Super Mario Odyssey as an outfit that Mario can wear. The outfit now known as the “Fashionable Outfit” was shown in one of the gameplay footage video we posted up earlier, which you can check out here.

Early accounts from this week’s Famitsu suggested that Steins;Gate Elite is bound for Switch. Based on the latest information from the magazine, it’s now absolutely official. Steins;Gate Elite is hitting Switch in Spring 2018 in Japan.
The new version of Steins;Gate is a “full animation adventure game”. It’s totally different from the series’ traditional style. Famitsu also says that every second of the anime has been captured for the game, and new routes not present in the show are in the works. WhiteFox, the same animation studio that produced the anime, is in charge of production.
