I realize now that looking thru the thread Tetris 2 (NES/SNES/GB) gets no love. That game was the shit. I kinda understand why it gets no shine due to fucking with the formula too much but still a great game though.
And I forgot to give my nod to MK Deception’s Puzzle Kombat Mode. It was a nice twist on Puzzle Fighter and it was really enjoyable.
I just tried to beat that African cocksucker Shaman for like 20 minutes. Whenever you get him high enough to die he pretends to be Moses and parts the red sea of his blocks down the middle
When Pokemon Puzzle League made it’s way on the Wii Virtual Console, I ran out to the store to buy a 2000 point card to get it.
Echochrome is also a very good game… came free with my PSP and wasn’t expecting much of it, but it’s actually a lot of fun, and very different from other puzzle games you see.
I KNEW I wasn’t the only one on the planet who loved that game!!! Magical Drop III is my favorite. I had wished they would make a part 4, but the three we did get are still every bit as full of win as puzzle game fan could ask for. One of my other favorites that didn’t seem to catch on with other people is N64s Tetrisphere. Music was all that and the regular puzzles were great. The battle mode could’ve used some tweaking. the computer was owning everyone on its hardest difficulty. Other than that, I don’t see why it got such a bad rap.
I love puzzle games. I play them when I want to play something for fun etc.
My favorite puzzle games:
Tetris series (love Tetris DS)
Bejeweled 2
Magical Drop series (This game series is great. I only have the Saturn port of #2 for now.)
Panel de Pon series
Puzzle Bubble series
Meteos
Lumines
… and here are two I didn’t see anybody post on:
Chu Chu Rocket (I believe this is part puzzle game)
Sega Swirl (This game is simple, but really great and fun. I pop this game in everytime I turn on the good’ol Dreamcast.)
Lumines 2
Puzzle Fighter
Nobody Can Stop Mr. Domino
Tetris (Obviously)
Dr. Mario
Bejewled 2 (Pretty game)
fl0w (Though not really a puzzle game)
Bust A Move (any of them)
I looove puyo puyo 2 (and POP! for the lolis), even though I’m not that good at it (my avg chain is like, 4-5 )
And then I love Tetris Attack, Pokemon Puzzle League 64, Panepon SNES (with fairy lolis), and even the GBC Pokemans Puzzle Challenge and GBA Puzzle League… (my score is like, anywhere from 10k-40k, I’m really inconsistent)
As for other puzzle games, uhh… I HATE Puzzle Fighter. To me, it plays like a retarded Puyo wannabe.
…and I have a secret love for Puzzle Bancho, even though the game is confusing as hell for the most part.
