One Nintendo game that did not leak ahead of time is the quirky new Pictonico! that was just revealed and is now set for release next week.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-1210011\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-nintendo-set-to-launch-new-pictonico-on-ios-and-android\">Nintendo set to launch new Pictonico! on iOS and Android<\/h2>\n<p>No, it\u2019s not the rumored Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake, not by a long shot. But Nintendo is set to release a new game next week in the form of this odd little mobile experience for Android and iOS known as Pictonico!.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Pictonico! looks to be a sort of collection of over 80 mini games that reminds me, at least to some degree, like some of the WarioWare experiences. Except this one is tied to your phone\u2019s camera roll, allowing gamers to inject photos of themselves and friends right into the action.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" height=\"584\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/9to5toys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/05\/Pictonico.jpg?quality=82&#038;strip=all&#038;w=1024\" alt=\"A screenshot of a video game\" class=\"wp-image-1210013\" srcset=\"https:\/\/9to5toys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/05\/Pictonico.jpg 3118w, https:\/\/9to5toys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/05\/Pictonico.jpg?resize=155,88 155w, https:\/\/9to5toys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/05\/Pictonico.jpg?resize=655,374 655w, https:\/\/9to5toys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/05\/Pictonico.jpg?resize=768,438 768w, https:\/\/9to5toys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/05\/Pictonico.jpg?resize=1024,584 1024w, https:\/\/9to5toys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/05\/Pictonico.jpg?resize=1536,876 1536w, https:\/\/9to5toys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/05\/Pictonico.jpg?resize=2048,1168 2048w, https:\/\/9to5toys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/05\/Pictonico.jpg?resize=350,200 350w, https:\/\/9to5toys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/05\/Pictonico.jpg?resize=140,80 140w, https:\/\/9to5toys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/05\/Pictonico.jpg?resize=1600,912 1600w, https:\/\/9to5toys.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2026\/05\/Pictonico.jpg?resize=150,86 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a quick rundown from Nintendo:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Here come your school\u2019s sports stars\u2026strutting down the red carpet!<\/li>\n<li>Your boss is hungry and needs your help!<\/li>\n<li>Try to wash away those embarrassing high-school memories.<\/li>\n<li>Son won\u2019t quiet down?
