I bought this game for my girlfriend for Christmas and we've been hooked on it. I played the N64 version back during summer of 2002 when I was visiting my cousins in Texas, and wow, this is Tetris Attack all over again.

Now I'm pondering... with Tetris, Tetris DX and whatnot, should I buy a GBA? I mean, I also played Yoshi's Island today and found myself enjoying it. The GBA SP is sleek and compact... and I hear those Castlevania titles are gold... *sigh* what to do. =D

Puzzle Leaque is hauntly addictive on N64. I can't believe I wasted 3 hours the first time I played it...

Whatcha talkin about willis? CastleVania is GOLD! Regardless of platform! (except CastleVania Legends on GBC...but that's an exceptation..)

I think he meant GBC. It is a REALLY GREAT GAME though. The N64 one is also a real blast!

you mentioned Tetris DX. in my opinion, the greatest version of tetris ever released. tetris plus comes close, but man oh man.... tetris dx.

Are we talking about Pokemon Puzzle Challenge for the Game Boy Color? If so, I also agree that it's a great game. Heck, I own 2 of them just for the multiplayer (as though my friends stand a chance... LOL ).

As far as Tetrix DX goes, it's pretty good but it only goes up to level 30, which is about as challenging as level 12 on the regular Game Boy version of Tetris (of which I also keep 2 for the multiplayer :) ).

I believe that tetris dx runs faster than normal tetris, in tetris i can make around 400-500 lines, as in tetris dx, i only wager around 300 max :S Weird as in tetris dx the blocks move better.

Tetris Attack for SNES & GB is identical gameplay to Pokemon Puzzle Challenge for N64 & GBC. I don't recall if there were any different modes in either, but I'm pretty sure there weren't.

N64 PPC has that weird 3D mode (the well wraps around on the sides, basically). And isn't the game just a variation of Panel de Pon or something? I think that's the game's original name...

Yes indeed.

It was also Panel de Pon that was released in the Nintendo Puzzle Colection for the Gamecube (along with Dr. Mario and Yoshi's Cookie).
