Pokémon Picross For 3DS Arrives Next Week
The free-to-play Picross/Pokémon crossover arrives in early December.
Nintendo revealed the game during its recent Nintendo Direct presentation with a vague December release date, but the official Pokémon twitter account recently revealed the exact release date. Pokémon Picross releases December 3.

If you're unfamiliar with Picross, I have written about it about my personal obsession with it here and here. You can also head here to learn about Picross 3D 2, which has been announced for Japan. No word on whether it is coming to North America yet, though.

Our Take
I love Picross so much I consider it a problem. I also like Pokémon, so this game seems like it will be a great fit for me, and possibly me alone. I wish it wasn't free-to-play (or free-to-start), but I will definitely play it, and even spend some money it. Can't wait until December 3.
