Nintendo Life

i loved this game as a kid. it had some really beautiful music that I fell in love with - especially froggy's theme.

Actually I'd rather get Pokémon Puzzle League just for the sake of more modes...and a really mean difficulty in the higher settings...and I'll admit it: For some sweet FMVs. ^^
But Tetris Attack is still a great game and probably the best on the VC together with Wario's Woods.

This is similiar to Pokémon Puzzle League (N64) and Puzzle League DS.
It's one of the best puzzle games Nintendo has ever created.
I never played the SNES version, so I'm glad this one's coming.
But it's only announced in Japan, isn't it?

Whoever that was playing in the video is a pro! I'm not even half as good as that >_<

Haha I'm not even 1% as good as that!

I love Panel de Pon/Tetris Attack/Puzzle League! I'll probably get this, if only to have the Yoshified version of the game

I'd prefer this to the Pokémon version on N64, as I had that version but not this.

I read a rumor on a message board elsewhere that Nintendo won't be able to release this game as Tetris Attack because they are no longer able to use the word "Tetris" in the title. I don't know if its true or not...

Looks like Super Collapse 3, I'll get it on its release

To Bass X:How come they could release Tetris DS then?

I've definitely heard that licensing proper Tetris is going to be difficult/expensive. Too bad, too, because I'd like to see the NES and/or Gameboy Tetris games on the VC eventually.

I can't wait to re get this game since i no longer have it.Also even if i did my SNES Controllers don't work that great anymore and my collection is Mario and DK based so far and i want another game i use to like/own such as this and when Super Mario Kart gets Rated then you'll see me again maybe.

I loved this game, hours of single and vs play for me. If you want a great title this is it. Please release this soon, I miss the music and such so badly.

The only game I kept for snes (sold mana, metroid, mario kart etc).
One of those games where it is easy to get 80% good so hooks in non games players. Then you turn into Tommy from Pinball Wizard and dont even need to think about the moves...
Looks very simple but once you learn the patterns to get the chains and combos going and start looking 4+ moves ahead, it is awesome. Do not attempt to play for 6 hours non stop in vs mode until 3am as you will start hallucinating and wont get the music out of your head.
Single player is fairly good but vs is magic.

This is one of the best puzzle games ever made, and I'm not even a big fan of puzzle games. I got this years ago for my SNES. One of the best decisions of my life. The same goes for Pokemon Puzzle League on N64 and Planet Puzzle League on DS. If Pokemon Puzzle League come out on VC (and that's only a matter of time) you'll just have to decide if you like Pokemon at all or not. If not, get Tetris Attack. Otherwise, wait for Pokemon. Both games are the same with the exception of 3D mode in Pokemon Puzzle League.

This game is one of my most cherish childhood game. Then when i thought it was over with tetris attack, when i hear it was announced for the ds called the "planet puzzle league" you can't immagine how happy i was! When it got to the time it released, i bought it right away and started playing with other players via wifi and i "pawn" all you nUbs

One of my favourite Puzzle games ever, this needs to be released ASAP!
So many memories in need of refreshing!

Hmm, I hope Pokemon Puzzle League will be released onto the VC--it's in my top 5 of childhood favourites. I'll settle for this if I have to wait too long, but I can wait plenty when I'm occupied with Pokemon Snap.

I was wondering, I got this game on my GameBoy, but it can't save, it has password save but they are quite long, should I get this as well?

This looks a lot like Pokemon puzzle on the N64

If the problem releasing this was the Tetris license then I would be just as happy if they renamed the game to Yoshi Attack. I don't even know why they used the name Tetris because this game has nothing to do with Tetris.

Aka Tetris with yoshi/mario things slapped on it..

This is the same exact thing as pokemon puzzle league for the N64. And I also had the Game Boy port of Tetris Attack.

I love this game!!!
I was hoping it'd be brought to VC. My friend had to order away for it because it was hard to find here, and I fell in love with it. I can't wait for it!

When the computer stops counting your combos because you're kicking so much ass, you will agree, that Tetris Attack is the best puzzle game ever.

iwant this game on the virtual console this is one of the best snes games...

So it doesn't feature the original Tetris?

Geez the guy on the video is freaking insane!

Love this game btw, one of the best puzzle games ever

Meh. Why get this when you can get Pokemon Puzzle League instead for only 200 points more? Sure, you have to put up w/ that annoying Pokemon tv show aesthetic, but it's problably still a better choice, unless you're nostalgic for this game. If you ask me, I'd take Planet puzzle league for DS over either of 'em .

Edit: The guy in that video was a machine! I'm not even 1/4 as good as he is!

@Jogurt. I don't think we'll see the NES tetris ever. That was an unlicensed Tengen port, bud.

You can forget about this game being released due to the whole Tetris-in-the-name thing. And they already released Pokémon Puzzle League, probably to replace this.

"To Bass X:How come they could release Tetris DS then?"

Yeah. I think games with Tetris in the title have to play like a proper Tetris game these days. They can't just use the name Tetris to attract unsuspecting buyers.

Let's see... this game for 800 points or Pokemon Puzzle League for 1000 points? Come on Nintendo! Release this. Please?

We'd have better luck seeing the Japanese original Panel De Pon released for reasons mentioned before.

I love Tetris attack. It has some of the best Boss'. Pokemon Puzzle League is still a better game though. Still Tetris attack is a 5/5

I love Tetris, but honestly, this reminds me of Bejeweled, and I hate Bejeweled, so no go for me.

^ You know, I've never bothered to play Bejeweled, but if it's even half as good as this game, then I'd understand why it's so popular.

Tetris Attack is wonderful. Nobody forgets to press L+R when we get to the character select screen.

If you want bejeweled, then get the Genesis version of Jewels (the original, not the crappy third). I wish they didn't release Puzzle League, because there is enough Pokemon crap out there as it is, let alone an @$$-whopping file size. So if they release it as "Yoshi Attack" or whatever name, then I will get it, but no Pokemon, please!!!

EDIT: Okay, after watching the video, I think it sucks that you can't move vertically as well as horizontally, aka DS Zookeeper style.

PS-That looks remarkably like a TAS video (the frame-rate indicator at the bottom is a dead giveaway)

I cant help but feel that listing this game is wrong since it technically isnt out in Japan. Panel de Pon is but the Yoshi version isnt.

Saw this mentioned in a gaming magazine yonks ago. Sounds great. Shame it's another game caught up in licencing issues. Although i still hope Nintendo will give this to us in a rainy day.

It still has a chance until i hear back from the Tetris Company.I e-mailed them about Tetris Attack and have not heard back from them yet.But i am sure since they allowed Nintendo to do Tetris DS that they will let us have Tetris Attack again.

I've always loved the Puzzle League series. I would absolutely love to play the game that started it all.

I hope that Nintendo will give it to us tho.There are like 6 games on my want list that i want now and this is one of them.

the other 5 are as follows:

Super Smash Bros
Super Mario Kart
Nintendo World Cup
ClayFighter
ClayFighter 63 and 1/3

So there you go.

Well well. Would you look at this. I think that I will get this, as I love any Tetris game. Although, I might be getting Tetris Party instead. Anyhow.

Can't wait for this one I was going to get Pokemon puzzle league a while back but Ash,Misty,Brock and pikachu's constant voices make me want to what for one with Yoshi because of one reason:Yoshi rules!

I hope Nintendo of America gets off their rump and releases Tetris Attack this year or next year.

This is VERY tempting!!

The only puzzle game I actually like! This game is great! I love the Yoshi's Island theme!

Were never gonna get this, Japan will allow games with chances of lawsuit come to their VC, not the same in NOA and NOE.

love this game. hope it goes VC.

I hope this one comes to VC. I play Pokemon Puzzle League like the guy in the video and I want to play this one!

And this one's cheaper!

Hmmm. They'll probably release Panel De Pon on the Eur & NA vcs to make up for Tetris Attack.

Man... I heart this game

Looks like Bejeweled. Might get it if when it comes out.

Even thought I alrady have Pokemon Puzzle League, I will probably get this when it comes out on the North American Virtual Console.

@Supermarioman: The name is the only thing going against it's VC release in North America an Europe, which means we are almost guaranteen to see this game on the Virtual Console.

@Supermarioman

like Super Smash Bros. Fan1999 said the only thing stopping it from coming out is the name.I don't care if we get this or Panel de pon since minus the characters the game is basicly the same thing.
