News - Nintendo Announces New Mobile Game That Turns Your Selfies Into Minigames
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Nintendo has a new mobile game on the way, which will turn your selfies into quirky WarioWare-esque minigames. The game is called <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/games/pictonico/">Pictonico!</a>, and will release on May 28 for Android and iPhone.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Pictonico! was co-developed by Intelligent Systems, the studio behind the <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/games/warioware-get-it-together/">WarioWare series</a> of games, and that influence is clear from the minigames Nintendo has teased so far. The main difference is that Pictonico’s minigames pull faces from your photos, warping real people into its absurd minigames.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When setting up the game, you can either snap a photo in the moment or pull an existing picture from your gallery--meaning friends, family, or even your favorite celebrities could be subjected to the indignity of starring in a WarioWare-style game.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Pictonico! will feature 80 minigames at launch, and is described by Nintendo as “free-to-start.” Free play is limited to just a few minigames, with the rest of the games available to purchase in two separate sets. Volume 1 will cost $8, while Volume 2 goes for $6--refreshingly offered as a single purchase, not an ongoing subscription.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">There will be multiple ways to play Pictonico!, from a stage-based progression mode, to the “Score Attack” challenges that include increasing difficulty, a high speed mode, and a sudden death challenge.</p>
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Pictonico! is set to release on May 28 on both <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nintendo.zana">Google Play</a> and the <a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pictonico/id6754666867">App Store</a>.</p>
