- Thread starter Thiago
- Start date
Tetris, Puyo Puyo, Panel de Pon.
The puzzle trifecta is finally complete. The Switch is now a good system offically.

That weird top-down shooter looks sorta cool.
They really put out some gems that I've never heard of. If you haven't already, please play Eliminator Boat Duel on the NES Online app. It's absolutely incredible.
I grew up with the NES and I've never heard of this game, and it's easily as good as if not better than RC Pro-Am. Please, please try it.

The criticisms about not having big titles and the slow drip of content are certainly valid, but I do have to admit, I'm really liking the picks they have gone for in terms of deep cuts and hidden gems. I was talking about NES Rygar just the other day (in the Rastan thread, because my point was that I have a habit of confusing the two series)
Aah the definitive edition of Rygar. I remember grinding the fuck out if this game as a kid. Made it to the temple in the sky and still got my ass kicked. I beat it though
If I ever wanted to play DKC, I'd just get back to playing it on the SNES Classic that I spent way too much effort trying to get for how little I played it... Stuff like this is much more exciting; it'll be neat to check out Panel de Pon.
If the only reference is that a simple rom hack in the title screen could say "Puzzle League Attack" and call it a day, edit any end credits and that's it. It's cool to get panel de pon but I'll miss the yoshi sprites that could be taken care of by a simple rom hack that would take just a few hours for 1 employee.

Yes! I just signed up for Nintendo Online and Eliminator Boat Challenge was a pleasant discovery for sure. I also grew up with NES, renting games every other weekend so I feel like I've seen it all, but this was completely new to me and a pretty cool game.
I personally enjoy these oddities. Playing DKC2 again would be cool and all, but I'm not stressing.
they also could've released the Japanese version of the Yoshi version that already exists
no Tetris here!
but Lip deserves her time in the sun
Isn't that satellaview only? I wonder if Nintendo's drip will mean they'll ever go to their vaults and release stuff like that for the public. We've seen Nintendo now willing to release Japanese titles, Unreleased titles but of course it's taken years, no reason why Star Fox 2 and Earth Bound Origins didn't come out in the original VC. But I think if we give it another decade some of those satellaview games will be available.they also could've released the Japanese version of the Yoshi version that already exists

While I absolutely love the Yoshi theming of "Tetris Attack", and would still love to have that playable despite whatever red tape prevents it from happening, truly delighted to have Panel de Pon in its place. It may not have the same charm and nostalgia, but it will at least be a new experience for me.
So excited! This will certainly be the game that drags me away from Animal Crossing

This.
The Tetris Company is extremely restrictive now over what games can be called "Tetris" or have "Tetris" as part of their name. The Tetris Guideline must be followed, which is super specific, going as far as telling you which colors each piece has to be...and that those pieces are not called "pieces," they're "Tetrominoes."
There is no way anyone would be able to release Tetris Attack, Tetrisphere, or Tetris The Grand Master as-is in modern times.
Even if you somehow don't like Panel de Pon (you monster!), you know there are a ton of other platforms, right? Good excuse to hit your backlog on XB1, PS4, Steam, Switch...TurboGrafx-16 mini...
Tetris Attack got casualized for the West, Panel de Pon is faster and the campaign is harder.
I trained really hard like 10 years ago to be good as this game, and it feels really nice being able to make 4/5+ combo everytime, especially like I said, Panel de Pon is very fast.

I can see Mario RPG and Mario All-Stars added later this year as part of the Mario 35th anniversary. Also I've theorized N64 games being added with a concentration of Mario games.
I was talking in general, because many people ask for Tetris Attack or Puzzle League.
I laughed, but this does bother me because Tetris Attack was the first game I ever owned so this series has been a staple for me growing up. I've been down for every skin change except the original.
I'll still play this of course, but Lip is not a design I want to look at for more than 30 seconds.
that (and earthbound beginnings/mother 1 on for NES) are obviously being saved for mother 1+2+3 collection.
Interesting point here, the reason why Super Punch Out has a screenshot rather than boxart is because it was never released to retail in Japan. You had to go to a nintendo power kiosk and copy it to a nintendo flash cartridge to play.
Shame they didn't make a boxart for the NSO release lol
Panel de Pon & Rygar! This is great! Now I only need Faxanadu, Solstice and TMNT to relive my childhood on Nintendo online!
...you know what? i'm good on never playing thisI don't want to be nitpicky about this, but I just don't feel comfortable looking at this as a male in their 20s and showing off the game to people with a lip skin.
Whoever threw in Yoshi for NA was a genius.
That is an okay lineup for me, not a "Tetris" game type of person so that Panel De Pon or whatever is useless to me but the other 3 are good. Wild Guns I remember liking quite a bit back in the day actually.
It's not like Tetris at all other than being a puzzle game
Supposedly Tetris Attack is harder than Panel De Pon at the highest difficulty. Basically, in the time it took Intelligent Systems to add Yoshi and bring the game to the West, they enhanced the AI dramatically, and so the AI in Tetris Attack will set up and perform some crazy long combos in comparison to the original Panel De Pon.
If you play the secret hardest difficulty in each game's campaign, the difference is incredibly clear. But that said, that's only on the secret Hardest difficulty, I never saw if they decided to make the other difficulty levels easier or not.
That said, I kinda prefer Panel De Pon's AI, though it is probably just because I'm used to it over Tetris Attack nowadays. It has the better music, anyways.
I've played Tetris Attack for over a decade, and just now watched videos of Panel De Pons hardest difficulty and if anything it appeared to be easier.
this is nice,
have they been releasing every other month lately? Did we get any in April? Normally I would assume we would get a shadow drop classic or two next month (via an E3 direct) but with no E3...

I see, well I'm sure I will at least try it out, but yeah puzzle games in general aren't my thing outside The Witness.
Yeah! All these folks talking about panel de pon. Nah, Rygar is where it's at!
When I saw this thread yesterday, I was so hyped about panel de Pon, I went to play it immediately, somehow completely missing the May 20 part.
We need some Planet Puzzle League Switch.

It's been irregular, generally every 2 or 3 months (which, to be fair, is what they said it would be like back last September).
Japan did get an update in April but it was just some SP versions of Fire Emblem 1, which I believe was alongside an FE anniversary. Nothing for the west until now.
