Basically you've got a field of squares and next to each row and column is a number. Your goal is to mark as many squares per column and row as the numbers next to them dictate.

That seems so simple, what the heck? Oh well I guess I will see what's so special about it when someone releases a video on this game.

There are multiple numbers by each row and column :-) If the numbers by a row are 3 2 3, then there is a run of 3 blocks somewhere in that row, followed by a run of 2 blocks, followed by a run of three blocks. But you don't know how many spaces are between each run.
Google "picross" and you can get several flash version of the game.

I looooved Mario's Picross. My only other wish (which will never happen ever) is that Mario's Super Picross will be available in the local Virtual Console. Oh well!

^^ I've been playing Mario's Picross on my Gameboy lately too. The game is so fun and addictive, a Picross game for DS is an instant purchase for me.

Classic Mario's Picross packs 3 & 4 (10 puzzles each) just went up on WiFi Connection. 1 & 2 have been available for quite some time. Nintendo's being pretty good about giving us plenty of Picross love.

Ditto that. And to this day I've still never actually played Picross and know what it is all about.
It seems a bit like the windows minesweeper game from what I understand... am I very wrong?
