how many copies this game has selled??????????

[ACherimoya]

Wow, I'm really disappointed to read that the game is too slow. I just ordered it. I know I'm a few years late, but I just heard about it 10 minutes ago. :P

[MajorasFlask]

u guys sound like u know your puzzlers :D

[weclock]

This game is awesome, but I do wish it was more like Panel De Pon for the SNES (Tetris Attack). I was hoping to become familliar with the Japanese characters and hoping that it would have been as fast as TA was. This game is just too damn slow.

[SapphireSolarRanger]

I know. The fairies are so cute. I am still planning to buy Nintendo Puzzle Collection for the four player mode and 3D formats.

[KieferSkunk]

I love Planet Puzzle League almost as much as Pokemon Puzzle League (N64), mainly because of the presentation. PPL-N64 had a lot of personality that seems to be missing in PPL-DS. Also, I'm a little disappointed with the slow detonate and drop rate - makes the game feel sluggish (unless you're on Hard mode - then the drops seem too fast).

Still, awesome game, and definitely worth keeping. :)

You gotta see the Panel de Pon videos for the GameCube on Youtube. There is a new cast of characters and a cylindrical well to play in.

[geekgo4]

I read those characters are the daughters of the previous characters on the SFC.

[SapphireAvatar]

They are. The new characters are saving the new world that Lip is ruling.

[geekgo4]

Oh, come on! Tetris never had any mascots. Are there really something to gripe about?

Now if SEGA and ?Sonic Team could get rid of the characters of Puyo Pop Fever...

[Benpc91]

If they were to get rid of the Puyo Fever characters, there'd be no unique drop patterns, or differences in power.

[geekgo4]

Hmm...good point. Could that be one of the reasons Nintendo/Intelligent Systems took their characters out? No differences in power?

[KieferSkunk]

More likely because there was little point to a story mode in a puzzle game. Plus, there was disparity between the Japanese and American releases throughout the series - PdP has the fairies, whereas the American releases featured Yoshi's Island characters and (later) Pokemon. Branding is difficult. By reducing the presentation, they can provide a more consistent release internationally. Especially important when you include online capability. :)

[ShadoNinja]

I hope you can download characters from panel de pon and tetris attack :P

[Speedsk8er]

can't wait

[Benpc91]

Cheer up! Lip's confirmed to be in this one!

[SapphireAvatar]

I also hear that Lip is in Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the Wii System.

[Benpc91]

Ha, that's what I've been hoping for. There's no confirmation that Lip is in Brawl yet, but we're still routing for her.

[hawelo1492]

Too bad she isn't. But at least her music is in!

[sjoecool1991]

It looks like you can choose between sideways and normal.

[SapphireAvatar]

I prefer the vertical format. That way, you can see a larger box of tiles. Also, versus games look more like the Panel de Pon and Tetris Attack ones.

[ILoveMisty]

Yeah, I am disappointed by the lack of characters, but it should still be a good purchase when I go to Asia this summer.

[Sprite37]

I can't wait!! :3

[Gaming0taku]

Ah, so you CAN use the buttons. For a second I thought it was touch screen only.

[SapphireAvatar]

Touch screen is much better. I have been practicing in Endless mode using the stylus. My best score is over 300,000.

[LAHARL777]

o_o? How are you supposed to play that game with D-Pad and buttons if it's sideways?

[LAHARL777]

-_-; Nvm, the screen just shrinks. I spoke to soon.

[SapphireAvatar]

You could always use the stylus instead. I saw how easy it was to use the stylus instead of the D-pad to switch the tiles.

[Idachan]

Looks pretty cool... but I still miss Lip... ;_;
