Probably anyone who commented 2020+

I sure as hell did.

Me. Im glad they have some super famicon games. Never heard this was an English version of the game tho until now

It was a good refresher, I spend so many hours playing Tetris Attack on my game boy and to see the same mechanics on Panel de Pon made me research and find this video. I still prefer our localized version.

yup :x

They also clear panels while the garbage blocks are clearing unlike Panel de Pon where they will sorta freeze in place until the block is fully dissolved.

I noticed the difference but couldn't put my finger on it. But yeah, there really are these massive chains in tetris attack that i didn't encounter in Panel de Pon. Yet I wouldn't say that makes it much harder necessarily, because these huge garbage blocks also give you quite some time to arrange your existing blocks while the garbage blocks get revealed, allowing you to create pretty good chains in return.

Yep. Noticed this after playing Panel de Pon on the Switch's SNES Online service. Tetris Attack is FAR more aggressive and that was something I was missing in Panel de Pon. I noticed it went for combos more instead of chains.

@@AJR-zg2py Welp, you got me to dig out my good old SNES Tetris Attack again. All this time I've been wondering if I'm just out of shape or if Panel de Pon is actually harder. And yep, I beat Tetris Attack first try with hardly any difficulties, yet I still have to get through Panel de Pon once. It's true that TA CPU is more aggressive with chains, however PdP CPU is considerably more tenacious. I've had several PdP matches way over 10 min (which is as far as the timer goes), Bowser gave up in less than 4 minutes like everyone else in TA.

@@stechuskaktus8318 Exactly. I tried several dozen times to do a no-loss Panel de Pon run on very hard. No dice, though I once made it to Cordelia. Then I tried Tetris Attack and did it on the second try. Actually I used a new controller which I just was not accustomed to at all, otherwise I'm perfectly sure I might have done it on first try. (Lost to Bowser.) However, I have no controller issues on PdP. I just lost dozen times because these opponents are flat out harder to beat and just play in a completely different league. The longest match I had and actually won was against Neris with 6+ minutes. I also fought Selen for 8+ minutes or Phoenix for 10+ minutes before I finally got overwhelmed. I guess it's a really clever move - especially looking at a casual player audience - to make the Tetris Attack baddies look more intimidating on a superficial level with their chains, whereas they are in fact infinitely easier. However, I will not give up - even if I have to go for it a thousand times! Edit: Finally vanquished the Great Goddess Cordelia after a 6:40 minutes long match. Feels so satisfying...

Kinda funny we now get stuff like puyopuyo tetris

Josh Staffen Yeah and Puyo Puyo Tetris was the first Puyo game we got since the GameCube era :/ They were reaaaally hesitant to release Puyo Puyo games outside of Japan for the longest time

@@LunarKelsey Hope Sega will not forget about Columns either

Same I love Panel de pon more than Tetris Attack.

Puyo puyo sucks

SuperNintendoGameboy oh my I haven't gotten that yet, only the other game I need it

SuperNintendoGameboy yes this minigame is funny, but the original is the best

I realized this while I was watching the video, bit by bit. "Hey, that dress is from Panel de Pon? Huh, neat easter egg." "This gameplay looks more like Puzzle League than Tetris.... wait-"

You get Lip's outfit if you beat the game.

Ikr

today

Shesez Boundry break and now Region Break's host said something interesting at the end of his Earthbound Video...

@@SuperZeve correct, fellow squid person, now we wait.

@A Normal person ha he will

Diego Kazama ikr

Yeah :'(

Yeah :(

Lmao

True. They could've used the Lantern Ghosts or any enemy from the underground stages though.

What the hell kind of logic is that? If it was such a big issue, why did they use adult Bowser?

​@@L337playing Unlike Monty Moles, Bowser, even in baby form WAS in Yoshi's Island though. The bosses are : Kamek, Naval Pirahna, Hookbill The Koopa and Bowser. The first was a constant harasser of Yoshi throughout the game, the next 2 were the World 3 and 4 bosses, and Bowser, basically started the giant Bowser trend in Mario games, BUT WAS STILL IN THE GAME. The rest of the "helper" characters from Lakitu to Raphael The Raven were either common enemies or in Raph's case the World 5 boss, in YI, ALL OF THEM. Monties weren't even so much as mentioned in YI. That's the hell kind of logic is that. Also, are you seriously hung up on the AGE of a character compared to it existing in the source material or not? Your logic is the one skewed here.

Monty Moles were in Yoshi Touch and Go

@@L337playing Honestly using adult Bowser ain't that weird compared to... ANYTHING in Mister Spiff.

There's always a fan translation of Panel de Pon if you're interested in trying.

@@nathangitz2674 I’d rather have it playable on my Switch. But it’s nice to know.

@@AlexRN This is also risky, but you could potentially jailbreak your switch to play hacked SNES roms. Course, I can totally understand why people wouldn't wanna do this; it's easier to get caught here than on systems like, say, the Wii for hacking.

But it’s in Japanese. The only way to play Panel de Pon in English is through emulation.

It's coming on the 20th of this month, your wish now granted

Yeah I guess beggars can't be choosers but I kinda wish it was tetris attack instead

Last news the game is on the switch in Japanese

This aged well!

I forgot how much I needed Tetris Attack / Panel de Pon until I noticed it was there. Pleasant surprise :D

Areksha Chan Honestly fuck old 90’s localization for causing this shit to happen. We can never get “Tetris Attack” again due to the name of Tetris. The only way for it to be rereleased is for Panel De Pon to be localized.

@@theobserver4214 Not yourself today? Grab a Snickers.

But this is Nintendo,and for us is the "Avalanche"(or Ghost Trap is you are from Europe) treatment...

At least puyo puyo got an arcade version

@@laslosermcuseless1574 no,at least we got this game,with changes,but we got this game(i'm watching you "THE GREAT ACE ATTORNEY" and "Puyo Puyo 20th anniversary")

@Churro Art tard

@Catgamer 615 I agree :)

The characters in Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic were never gonna become a thing. The game was just the result of a short-lived agreement between Nintendo and Fuji TV. They were created for one expo and abandoned since.

If you look at the map screen in 5:44, you can see those green hills with eyes from Super Mario Bros. 3. They are in both versions which may explains that Panel de Pon was originally meant to be a Yoshi's Island theme puzzle game to begin with. It wouldn't use any Mario related content if it was to be its own original game. Those hills with eyes, only Mario games had those.

@@VOAN Wait, so then that means "Tetris Attack" (or rather Panel de Pon Starring Yoshi or Yoshi's Panel de Pon either title should get the Tetris company off Nintendo's back) was the REAL game!?! That explains why Panel de Pon felt like a pale imitation when I played it (especially with the sprite work on VS mode, because there was clearly WAAAY more effort put into Yoshi and friends in-game looks compared to Lip and her random fairy entourage), I'd love it if Nintendo would just release this version under a different name! Between the more fitting flower field stage for Flutter (NOT Wiggler like the video claims even if that IS her previous form) compared to the basic crystal palace, the improved difficulty of VS mode (I beat the true final boss Cordella on my first try and looking back at the footage it was simply because she made 3 stupid mistakes in a row and didn't have time to make up for them), improved control and sound (playing both back-to-back there was no comparison, the control just feels too slick on Panel de Pon that I kept overshooting the blocks I wanted to switch regularly) and of course the fact THAT version is actually translated and has ALL the modes, there's just no question which one is the superior game (and that's not even counting the super-catchy title remix from "Yoshi's Island" that I love to this day or the fact that if you wait through all the demos you get a cool series of screens having ALL the characters talking about themselves and explaining their stance on the situation complete with fun quirks, personality, and even a few creative uses of size fonts for the text every now and again)!

The reason for this is because it was religious sounding and Nintendo of America had to cut religious references because some guy was worried about content that would offend children. ESRB came later in 1994 which punished Nintendo for being kid-friendly and they matured since then.

Timmy Menard ...that couldn't be further from the truth.

This is an old comment, but I don't think the track is completely absent. The theme playing during character selection against Cordelia in PdP is the same as the one used in her stage (at least as far as I can tell). In Tetris Attack the character selection music against Bowser is the same as it was against Cordelia, while Bowser's stage music was the same one was used in stage 11 for PdP. Odd choice though.

@Timmy Menard Actually, Nintendo was punished for their SNES port of Mortal Kombat.

bhyper it was for the DS.. Not gba. It's one of my favorite games

@@VGMStudios33 He's thinking of Dr. Mario and Puzzle League, which WAS for the GBA. You're thinking of Planet Puzzle League, which was the DS title. Puzzle League Express, an ultra condensed (but cheaper) version of Planet Puzzle League came a couple years after that on the DSi shop.

Panel de Pon on a plane? Now that's a luxurious flight.

Yeah! It was on Singapore Airlines back in 2004 - such an amazing experience and one of the rare times I didn't care how long the flight was!

Press Select Shan wish they'd put them on the eshop

Yeah I once traveled on a plane with SNES games. That was so cool. Makes me wonder if they had a proper agreement with Nintendo though...

@@joshkall5103 And that is the last anyone has ever heard of him.

My favourite time of the every 3rd month.

Correction: Oh Boi

I read that comment in the voice of the toy that says "new toys!" in Toy Story 3.

Tetris Attack on SNES is a game that has suffered from Audience Stereotype Syndrome. For example, Nintendo didn't believe that girly girl fairies would appeal to an American audience and the majority of gamers were males too.

@@joshkall5103 try saying that after being gone for 4 years

Or, add My Little Pony characters and stay true to the Japanese version minus the difficulty with one stage edited for a daytime sky theme not plagerizing Windy's stage from Japanese version. Title of the game will be Pony Puzzle and most of the content is reused from the Japanese version with one content reused from American version such as difficulty.

Timmy Menard I would totally buy that.

Timmy Menard I think that'd piss off a lot of people. Let's not do that.

Timmy Menard We do not need pony crap

@@dogg-paws Without Pony's: Success With Pony's: Failure

Retroarch can you get started quite easily.(don't use ZSNES though)

It does very innacurate emulation(all games have bugs in them that are specific to ZSNES, the emulator was programmed to "patch" popular games silently to avoid it's own bugs/crashes). Also if you want to play 3DFX games on it will speed up the game screw with the music. ZSNES didn't even get an update in 10 years and it's banned from speedrun websites because of it's innacuracy while bsnes does virtually perfect emulation and snes9x is very good too.

GnauraI SuperFX you mean. 3DFX is a PC API

Yes.

Yes, it's an intentional reference to this game.

Stray-Zer0 sm64

Sakujima Iwata Oh I dunno, Tetris Attack is plenty cutesy. Me and my best friend would play it for hours. They most likely did it that way because Mario sells everything.

Based Embryo Yeah, because she isn't in a robot suit the whole time.

Pierce Gossett And because she's a badass. Panel De Pon would be quite the gamble due to the Japanese style, and the fact your main character is a cutesy fairy

Pierce Gossett yeah because there isnt a reward of seeing her take off her helmet for a successful speed run, you sure are witty and not flawed

Pierce Gossett she didnt take off her helmet on a planet with no breathable atmosphere for humans or while fighting creatures, sexist amirite *bashes head in with a hammer* because real logic is make believe

Danielle Bowden (I know it's been more than a year, but that's actually tokei-kun (Mr. clock)'s voice.)

I was going to say "Where's the ojou-sama laugh?" Selene was my favorite because of the laugh

Was your grandfather a j/aps army that slaughtered Asians?

My mom and I played Tetris Attack all the time from it's release till the day she died. She would have been very excited to learn that her favourite game actually had a different look than the one she's used to! Our head-to-heads were very intense because we were both really good. Like me, the first thing she'd notice is that Panel de Pon's CPU is nowhere near as aggressive as the SNES version lol American version chains more; Japanese version combos more... chains are harder to fight against and when you hear the opponent's character make their noise when you get a combo, it ramps up the intensity. Great times. RIP Mom, 1963-2009.

@@AJR-zg2py That's nice to hear, and I'm sorry to hear about your mother.

bezoticallyyours83 Panel De Pon is the same game but actually original. It doesn't rely on Yoshi and Mario themes to sell it, it did its own thing, and did it well.

Brandon Williams you could hack it, but I want to keep mine unhacked

Is this a joke or do you not know the changes are made by the same devs.

EWOODJ just ignore its obvious titles need to be localized.

Old comment but yes they're clones.

Dove600 what clones? It’s most of the time same company release the product just under a localized name. Don’t even bother to argue. I used to develop games in a Japanese company so it’s pointless to reply.

@@UmiTheAra They are localizations, not clones. Unless this is a joke, then it's ok.

The other Puyo games are great too, you should try em.

Bloodreign1 Super Puyo Puyo suffers from slightly different colors and stretched sprites that look weird. Puyo Puyo CD's better

HaxorViper, I have a lot of other Puyo Puyo games, over a few consoles.

1 year later, I now have all 3 Puyo Puyo titles for SFC, as well as Panel de Pon (still don't have the 2 Nazo Puyo Puyo games yet). Puyo Puyo Tsuu Remix boxed and complete was the last Puyo Puyo regular series version I needed, got that same time as Panel de Pon.

Pokémon PL was a quick and mediocre hame looking to cash in the sudden popularity of the anime in the west. I’m glad it existed but now you can enjoy Panel de Pon/Tetris Attack which is better in every possible way.

@@AlexRN I found panel de pon to be easier. Puzzle league was harder and though it might have been cheaper, if it didn't exist I would not have gotten panel de pon

I think it's 6x9. Those 3 extra rows really make all the difference.

Horror Jervil Too bad he never made any videos ever since this one.

The next video he's making must be an even bigger pain in the butt.

Raul Neozero Strange considering Streets of Rage added bullshit for the US versions

Former competitive Tetris Attacker here. Um.. No, it's not. Panel de Pon's CPU is nowhere near as aggressive with the chains on hard mode compared to Tetris Attack. The Japanese version combos more whereas as the American version chains more. Chains are much harder to fight against than combos.

Thanos?

Status Report 2: Will he ever be back?

They can’t do it, at least not in its pure form, due to the Tetris license in the title. I wish they could just change the title so we can have this amazing version in English as well.

andrielisilien Yes it has. Nintendo and SEGA were too much of a pussy to port the actual games so they Americanized it to be safe. Nintendo screwed up badly themselves since they called the game Tetris Attack meaning unless they translated the original game, it's impossible for us to play Tetris attack

@@theobserver4214 Actually that's not the case, people weren't used to anime and Japanese source material so companies have to americanize games so audiences can understand.
