Zelda-themed Picross game coming to My Nintendo on March 31st

Images of Picross: Zelda Twilight Princess for the 3DS have been discovered on Nintendo eShop. The Zelda-themed puzzle game may be made available to members of the future My Nintendo rewards program.

The images of the Picross game were found in the xml files on the Nintendo download store servers. It is a game that should be available for the 3DS through the My Nintendo program. The Zelda Picross game will be released on March 31, according to server data.

My Nintendo is a rewards program recently announced as the successor to Club Nintendo. Participants can save points by, for example, buying games. Saved points can then be exchanged for games or expansions.

It is not yet clear whether Picross: Zelda Twilight Princess should be ‘bought’ with points, or whether all My Nintendo members will receive the game. The xml file states that the game is free. Picross is an abbreviation of ‘picture crossword’. Several variants of the puzzle game appeared on Nintendo DS and 3DS, including a Pokémon-themed free-to-play version.
