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.

This week’s Pokémon Shuffle update brings a new challenge, the Ash-Greninja stage, and three repeats. Ash-Greninja is based on the unique form Ash’s Grenjinja takes in the anime, and it’s a minute-long High Speed Challenge that will run until May 3rd.
Meanwhile, the Mega-Blaziken challenge has returned, giving players another chance to earn some Blazikenite. If you’re in the top 22,000 in the US, 15,000 in Europe or 60,000 in Japan, you’ll receive the coveted Blazikenite, or (if you already earned it from the last round) you’ll win a Mega Speedup. The top 3,500 in the US, 2,500 in Europe and 10,000 in Japan will also get a Raise Max Level. The top 30,000 in the US, 20,000 in Europe, and 80,000 in Japan will get an Attack Power, and all other players will get a Disruption Delay. The Mega-Blaziken challenge runs until April 26th.
Finally, both Keldeo and Infernape are returning, and will run until May 3rd.
