Story Highlights

  • Nintendo has officially announced a new mobile game called Pictonico.
  • Pictonico turns player photos into funny mini-game experiences.
  • Pre-registration is now live on Android and iOS ahead of May 28 launch.

Nintendo just announced a new mobile game called Pictonico, and it looks like a lot of fun! It will be available for both Android and iOS devices on May 28, 2026, and you can sign up to pre-register in your app store now.

Up to 80 mini-games will be available through purchasable volumes

Let me explain why this game is going to be surprisingly hilarious. Pictonico is a collection of quick games that use your own photos – you can grab them from your phone’s gallery or take new ones with the camera. Think about all the funny possibilities that opens up!

Uploading things here is incredibly flexible – you have complete freedom to do whatever you want. For instance, you can edit photos in any way imaginable, from simple things like covering someone’s mouth to more unusual edits like adding nose hairs. You can even use photos you’ve already deleted. The attached images should give you a clearer idea of what’s possible.

The game is built on a fun concept: it lets you create hilarious moments by combining old and new photos. It’s designed to be a great icebreaker and add some laughter to gatherings with friends and family. Some people have even compared it to the classic Nintendo 3DS game, Face Raiders.

Pictonico will feature a total of 80 mini-games, but when it launches, only a limited number will be available to play without charge. The game is designed to be ‘free-to-start,’ meaning you can try out some demo mini-games and then purchase additional content if you enjoy it.

Volume 1 costs $5.99, and Volume 2 is $7.99. You can sign up to be notified when the game is released by pre-registering on Android devices through the Google Play Store and on Apple devices through the App Store.
