It’s five years to the day since Jupiter’s long-running puzzle series first made the jump to Switch with Picross S<\/a>, and please forgive us if we get a little nostalgic.<\/p>\n

With the eighth entry<\/a> in the S saga coming to the Switch eShop in a matter of hours, there’s no denying that each new entry amounts to a fresh DLC pack featuring dozens of new nonograms to dive into, yet we’ve got real affection for this most dependable of puzzlers. Given its quality and the calm mood it puts us in, we’ll happily lap up another selection of the same-old every six months.<\/p>\n

That’s not to say there haven’t been new modes and additions across those eight entries (plus several spin-offs) in the last five years, the most significant being touchscreen support in S7<\/a>. In fact, S8 will be accompanied by an update for all the previous games<\/a> which adds four-player local multiplayer and<\/em> touchscreen support to the lot.<\/p>\n
