Wrong

That honor belongs to Tetris Battle Gaiden on SFC. That game is so damn fun.

BAKU BAKU, highly underrated game.

Maybe not the best but worth a try if you like the genre.

Tetris Attack is my fucking jam, shit gets intense in VS mode

>>3715878
Why is wario in dr mario

>>3715884
I really like this game, and I played it a ton back then. A few years ago I bought the HD version and I couldn't get into it again. The upscaled sprites were hideous, so maybe that had something to do with it? The gameplay sorta felt off too.

>>3716738
They decided to put in characters from Wario Land 3 in the N64 version of Dr. Mario. Don't ask me why.

Also, talking about Wario and puzzle games: Wario's Woods is a solid recommendation in that regard.

>>3716091
Came here to post this, it's literally the best version of Tetris (for VS Mode) ever made.

>>3715878
If it ain't Puzzle League or Puyo Puyo, then it's not the greatest.

>>3715878
Not Columns 3?

>>3716872
Agree 100%, these games are definitive competitive puzzle games

>>3715878
Magical Drop III.

>>3716872
Panel de Pon games are bad.

>>3717215

How so?

>>3717230
I dislike how the cursor moves in those games. They feel wonky and unintuitive.

>>3717247

Then you are bad, not the games.

>>3717258
Nope. Panel de Pon is still bad.

>>3717264
Writing off a great game just because you couldn't figure it out? I feel sorry for you bro

>>3717247
>I dislike how the cursor moves in those games. I feel wonky and unintuitive.
I don't like the Mona Lisa but i don't think it's a bad painting, anon. Just because you have problems with the game doesn't mean it's universally bad
>inb4 i totally didn't say that

>>3715878
Not when Puyo Puyo exists.

>>3716920
This, right here. Magical Drop competitions can get INSANELY heated.

>>3716131
While I mostly agree, when you get too good at vs endless becomes way more jammy.

>>3718016
Isn't MPE a better version of MD?

>>3718107
What the fuck is MPE?

>>3717997
Isn't it Dr. Robotnik Bean Machine?

Get fucked you niggas, Puzzle Bobble is the king of Arcades

You guys are small time

Thread done in the very first post.

Money Puzzle Exchanger.

>>3718169
This, slapping bitches in PB was my hobby. No other puzzle game comes close.

Suggesting anything but Panel De Pon is something to be heavily ashamed of.

>>3717247
It's supposed to be slow/delayed so you can pull down the puzzle and keep combos going past 10.
Sometimes you'll need to be across the screen grabbing something before what you threw reached the top to keep a chain going.
I really miss playing it at the arcade. It does seem slower to move on Sega Saturn pad than a joystick.
I have to play with my controller tilted forward and one finger on the left and right directions on the d-pad to move fast enough.

>>3718121
Also Kirby's Avalanche.

Palamedes master race reporting in.

>>3718169
How do you feel about the sequels?

>>3719440
>>3718121
PP1/Robotnik/Avalanche suck because no offset mechanic.

>>3719885

2 is good
3 is decent
4 is fucking horrible

>>3720150
What's wrong with 4?

>>3718107
I've yet to meet a single person who actually prefers MPE over MD. And I know A LOT of Neo Geo people.

Baku Baku Animal

they changed the gameplay. First of all, they added a bonus everytime you take down bubbles, probably to encourage players to play faster rather than make big bubble take downs. So the bubbles usually tend to go up in big lines and they are easier to hit to fuck your opponent faster. And they also, for the take downs, added a shitload of graphics effects and light shows, which only disturb you from pointing correctly your bubbles.

In other words the game became a button mashing contest where precision means jack shit, and as long you shot up bubbles you can win.

Look for example this is Puzzle Bobble 2 gameplay

>>3720439

and this is Puzzle Bobble 4.

>>3720439
>>3720443
Oh, I know how it plays. I've played them all.

I just don't see how it's bad. You can't really improve on the games as they are, so the best you can do is be different, which is what Puzzle Bobble 4 does. Sure, it's easier, but it's faster paced and easier to make a comeback in. If you don't like it, there's no reason to play it. There isn't any content in it that can't also be found in all the rest of the games (aside from 4's pulleys in puzzle mode and chain reactions in vs mode which, from your post, you don't seem fond of).

Columns gets the official Australia-kun seal of approval.

>>3715878
That's chess.

No debate on this subject.

Dr. Mario is okay, but Wario's own puzzle VS game is miles away more fun, complex and Wario-y.

>>3720958
Too bad you can't actually play as Wario in it.

Also not being able to see what your next drop will be is kinda dumb.

Nintendo or Tengen Tetris, which is better for NES?

>>3723576

I'm partial to Tengen becausa it's the one I played as a kid and also the music and the little russian guys that dance when you finish a stage.
The Nintendo tetris I like is the one on Game Boy.
