======Jupiter's Picross series======
A series of [[genre:nonogames|nonogames]] spread across Nintendo platforms. Many feature characters from the [[game:Mario series]], though this aspect has been dropped for the DS iteration. [[company:Jupiter]]'s Picross games just feel a bit nicer than other company's: the hammer and chisel pointers, and the crunchy way they mark the board, is not quite matched elsewhere.

=====Games=====
  - **1995 - //[[game:marios_picross|Mario's Picross]]//**
  - **1995 - //[[marios_super_picross|Mario's Super Picross]]//**\\ Maybe the best version of the game. Has since had its first western release on the PAL [[hardware:wii#Virtual Console]].
  - **1996 - //[[game:Picross 2]]//**\\ The second Game Boy version adds an unintrusive map, where players move between puzzles. Most puzzles are self-contained portions of larger puzzles: and it works!
  - **1999--2000 - //[[game:Picross NP]]//**\\ A series of 8 nonogame compilations released via the [[hardware:snes#Nintendo Power]] system. They feel squeakier than //Mario's Super Picross//, but feature a wider variety of Nintendo, and non-Nintendo, themes. Also some interesting multiplayer modes.
  - **2007 - //[[game:Picross DS]]//**\\ DS version, where bigger puzzles include an unfortunate screen scrolling feature. Replaces the old-Nintendo Mario theme with the sterile new-Nintendo DS/Wii theme.
  - **2012--14 - //[[game:club_nintendo_picross_series|Club Nintendo Picross]]//**
  - **2013--16 - //[[game:picross_e_series|Picross e]]//**((Not sure if //Club Nintendo// and //e// are related / share puzzles.))
  - **2015 - //[[game:Pokémon Picross]]//**\\ Overly drawn-out, free-to-play. You catch and equip 'mons which have different powers they can use to help you clear boards.
  - **2016 - //[[game:my_nintendo_picross_tloz_twilight_princess|My Nintendo Picross: The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess]]//**\\ 1000 point My Nintendo reward.
    
====Offshoots====
  - **2009 - //[[game:Picross 3D]]//**\\ Version where puzzles are built in a 3-D grid. Made for the DS by [[company:HAL]].A sequal has since been released in Japan for the 3DS.
