Picross 3D 2 Announced (For Japan)
A sequel to the fantastic DS puzzle game of the same name is on its way – in Japan.
Announced with a dedicated page on Nintendo Japan's website, the game is slated for release in Japan on 3DS on October 1. There are some new types of blocks with new types of numbers and it's unclear exactly how they work. You can check out a trailer for the game below.
We've reached out to Nintendo for more details and to find out if the game will make its way to North America. We will be sure to update this story when we receive more details.

Our Take
As Game Informer's foremost Picross-obsessed expert (I wrote about it here, too), This has jumped embarrassingly high on my most-anticipated games list. I really, really hope it makes its way to North America.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
