The superior way, with more accuracy and speed on the d-pad.
There's no universe where using the d-pad is faster than using a stylus in Picross.

Oh yeah, day one.
Switch has touch screen, why cant we use that if we play on the pad?
hungry cats colour or whatever ruined regular picross for me
just kidding, i'll totally get this, but you guys should check that out if you haven't already
We can't?
Paint it Back is fantastic, a great way to learn Picross. I think it's free to start, and maybe $5 to buy the full package.Paint it Back > Any 3DS Picross.

You can start at any point, but the later games in the e series have more QOL features and options. Picross DS has a stupid amount of content and better presentation than later games. It's a great place to start.
Picross DS has a very annoying feature, especially if you go back to it from newer entries. The bigger boards don't fit on the screen, so you have to inconveniently move the zoom around to fill the board, not having a proper look to the whole board on a single screen. It's clumsy, I played a lot of actual pen and paper Picross plus many videogames and having to zoom is just a big no-no.
This will probably be a great entry point to the series, but any 3DS chapter should do as well, they're pretty cheap, going between free (the Pokemon version), MyNintendo points (the Zelda one) and 5 bucks or so (the E series). The newer ones have a bit more variety and are better products as far as core gameplay goes, but yeah, any is fine. The prices are fantastic for the amount of content in the game's, ranging from supereasy puzzles all the way to some insanely tough ones (there was one in the 2nd to last page on the Zelda game that's tough as nails tbh). It's a great thing to play while watching TV or something as well.
Need Picross 3D
That might be true if you're using the touchscreen, but I used buttons and it showed the whole board.
Huh, I expected them to stay on the 3DS a while longer. And, honestly, I'd hoped they would; I really don't like Picross without a stylus.
Seems like a waste to stick with 20x15s, too, on a 720p screen.

In this thread I'm learning that people use touch controls instead of the dpad in their Picross games. Why? It's so much slower.

What? I use d-pad and stylus combo, no way are you more accurate or more fast than that with button inputs
Edit: there has to be a confusion here. Of course using the stylus to change the drawing mode would be slower, using d-pad to do that is the way, but actually drawing the dots and x-es is obviously faster with stylus
now I just need Picross 3D round 3. Round 2 was a serious addiction of mine. One of my all time favorites

You're killing me, Jupiter. I love Picross, but you're killing me, Jupiter.
Where is a new Pokémon Pinball? Where is TWEWY 2? You've done Picross to death now, it's time for a resurgence of other games we desperately want back.

I'm SIGNIFICANTLY less likely to fuck up and miss-mark a square when using the Dpad vs using a stylus.
I couldn't play Paint in Back for more than 30 minutes because I hated having to use a touch interface, having to move my finger off the play field to switch from filling to marking.
Picross is great.
Picross 3D is greater.
*wink wink*
Picross 3D Round 3, please.
