Rainy Frog has announced that it will be bringing Animated Jigsaws: Japanese Women to Nintendo Switch early next month.
As you can likely tell from the trailer, this game tasks players with completing moving jigsaw puzzles where the image is actually a video of various Japanese women going about their daily business. This game is actually the second title in the series - Animated Jigsaws: Beautiful Japanese Scenery also launched on Nintendo's newest console back in April this year. Here's the official PR description:
Animated Jigsaws: Japanese Women contains short videos as jigsaw puzzles that are pieced together to reveal beautiful ladies. The video puzzles capture 10 beautiful Japanese ladies wearing traditional kimono and yukata clothes in various locations such Kyoto City, by a lake, and relaxing in a hot spring bath.
The game features an "easy-to-use interface" which can separate your edge and inner pieces to make the puzzle solving more enjoyable and less time-consuming. You can tackle each of the puzzles by yourself, or team up with friends and solve them together if you prefer.
Game Features:
- Solve puzzles with friends in multiplayer for up to 4 players
- Easy-to-play traditional jigsaw puzzle
- Selection of three background colors
- 3 sizes for each puzzle: 60, 120 and 240 pieces
-Saves time spent completing each puzzle and each size
- Separate edge and inner pieces
- Each piece snaps into place for stress-free experience
- Ability to snap individual pieces together
- Save a puzzle half way and continue later
- Selection of traditional Japanese music to choose from
The game will be released worldwide on 4th October for $9.99 / €9.99 / £8.99, and owners of Animated Jigsaws: Beautiful Japanese Scenery can receive a 15% discount.

Wow, a whole 10 pictures, and 4 player action!
I gotta get me some of this!! <---sarcasm
How much shovelware can you fit on one console?
And then you realise they’re all ladyboys!
But seriously, it has watermelon in it, day one buy for me..
Y'all are haters, I'm buying this twice.
FOUR PLAYER MOVING PUZZLE ACTION
TAKE NOTES, DEVELOPERS
If they’re not barefoot and showing their soles I’m not interested
more weird ass japan crazyness, need more westerns in that Grey cube. How come sony can move away from being japocentric company but nintendo cant
Day None!
When the womans brigade makes it's way to Japan they are going to have a field day.
I wonder if there will be even one single gamer in the world who manages to organise a 4 player session on this?
Still can't beat this:

This is obscenely overpriced for only 12 puzzles. o.O
Will this title support cloud saves?
Ok, if the pictures weren't moving, this would actually be kind of cool in a zen sort of way. The posing models in front of you the whole time like little fairies held in 6.3" prisons make it feel a little peeper-ish.
@jockmahon Because Sony was never really Japan focused. They my have enjoyed some popularity at home, but Sony has always been primarily an export-focused company, which is why a strong Yen has always been disastrous for them.
Well I put 20 hours into the Japanese Scenery one so I would be interested in this, though I'm not big into it being of Japanese women. I would rather of had more scenery myself.
@OorWullie Challenge accepted!
Now, I watched that trailer and I can’t quite put my finger on it, but I somehow feel violated.
There's a sequel planned: 'English Women'.
Japanese Women for Smash!
Was hoping it was rated M.
Well... guess it's more dignified than Senran Kagura Reflexions, at least. Oh how I wonder what's next.....
Now that's a must-watch trailer!
Oh and how come NintendoLife haven't reviewed that goldfish catching game yet?

@Eef
That's why I bought it, very relaxing and truly one of the few games I can play and watch TV at the same time since it didn't require my attention. I really got into doing all the puzzles with all the different piece counts. I think I completed everything but one or two of them.
