Am I missing something crucial here or is Yoshi for NES really as boring as it seems to be?

It's always been boring. I grew up with the NES and stuck with it to the very end, and out of the many puzzle games released for the platform, Yoshi was always this weird uninteresting puzzle game. Yoshi's Cookie was the better of the two Yoshi puzzle games on the console. The only other puzzle game I can think of off the top of my head as bad as Yoshi would probably be Hatris.

I'm sure Yoshi was designed as "baby's first puzzle game" because of its lack of complexity.

Nintendo calls the series Puzzle League now and one appeared inside of Animal Crossing New Leaf. I wouldn’t be surprised if it returns in New Horizon.

Okay, I wasn't sure if I was missing some mechanic that made the game fun or if it really is just "match the pictures".

Also dang I really wish you could access manual scans from inside the NES games.

Wait, there's a chance that Animal Crossing will come with Tetris Attack?

Gimme that and Wario's Woods again and I don't even really need the rest of the 'crossing.

Do these tutorial pop-ups in UA3 ever stop? I'm still only on the Raft, but I've gotten the same tooltip message, that takes up the entire left half of the screen, about depleting an enemy's stagger gauge every single time I've encountered one!

Where oh where is this deal

http://www.massgenie.com/nintendo-5...aign=socialshop

$50 eShop card for $42 with "power deal" that auto-uses coupon code NIN50ESHOP2

The deal/code is supposed to be one per customer but that only seems to kick in after it "ships" so you should be able to simply claim multiple singles

I think technically it's a referral thing judging by the url but feel free to just search the site or saw that part off

E: Also Fry's Electronics does $50 for $40, and/or $35 for $28 in store. "Limit 1", but the actual limit is 3 as enforced by the registers. The promo needs a code you can get from their website. The price on the website will show up masked anytime the promo is running, which is basically every weekend and many weekdays.

Also Costco has a permanent $50 for $45 thing in store, and online with email delivery

Unfortunately no. It's a minigame inside Animal Crossing New Leaf and its only available if you manage to get a 3DS item in the game itself (kind of a throwback to how the original AC games had playable NES games as furniture).

That's what Puzzle League/Panel De Pon/Tetris Attack has been reduced to: A mini-game inside a completely different series.

It’s still pretty meaty for being a bonus in another game. I’ll be happy if that version returns along with that kick rear end island escape game.

I think the last 'proper' version of puzzle league was Planet Puzzle League on the DS. Also there was a mini downloadable version called Puzzle League Express but I don't know if you can still buy DSiWare.

We may have finally found unobtainium but I will never find eywa.

Puzzle League has always had identity issues but I feel like a new Panel De Pon with a nice hand drawn art style would go over pretty well in the west now that it's not the 90's anymore.

I guess it's not official Nintendo but Jupiter has only made Nintendo games dating back to the Game Boy.

The "Picross" brand name is a Nintendo trademark that Jupiter is allowed to use so that's close enough.

Thanks for this, unfortunately it doesn't work with a non-US card when I tried.

Something about ~$40 new Switch games almost puts them into impulse buy territory I guess

I can’t put my finger on it, but something about all the astral chain vids I’ve watched and tried to get hype for screams that it’s gonna be one of those B-tier platinum games. It’s good because I’m happy to be proven wrong and it means the A-team is obviously hard at work making Bayo 3 GOTY for all subsequent years.

Decided that the cleaning fluid wasn't gonna cut it anymore, so I finally did the inevitable and replaced the sticks. The difference is like day and night, you can actually pull the plunger in Pinball FX3 to a certain amount again. They're not exactly the same model but they work. I can now use the Switch as a portable, and without costing me shitload of money. 5 out of 5 would void my warranty again.
