Who doesn’t love a good puzzle every now and then? The Picross series has graced a multitude of Nintendo consoles throughout the decades, and the latest edition will certainly titillate the SEGA fan. If you’re unaware of what Picross is, it’s also known as a nonogram. Picross (or nongram) puzzles require the user to color in specific cells on a grid to reveal a hidden picture.
