Nintendo loves its surprises, and we got another one of those this week with Pictonico. Out of nowhere, the company revealed the new game for mobile, and we know it’s coming out in just a few days. You can learn more about it here.
Pictonico is all about having fun with your pictures with a collection of silly mini-games starring you and your friends / loved ones. Technically it’s free to start – you can try out the different games, but you’ll need to pay to experience everything it has to offer.
What do you make of Nintendo’s announcement this week? Will you be giving Pictonico a shot when it launches next week? Let us know in the comments.

When Nintendo Switch 2 first released last June, everyone was speeding their carrying cases and grips to market – and dbrand’s Killswitch soon emerged as a premium option.
