- Pokémon Puzzle League (N64, 1-2 players, 1000 Wii Points): Pit those encapsulated creatures against one another in a battle of manic block rearrangement! Way to go!

Just hold down ALT and type 1 3 0 on your numeric keypad to get the nifty 'é' character.

I agree! The gc version come with 4 players....i mean who can say no to 4 player mode of dr mario and panel de pon?! too bad they cancel the NA released....T_T
i have to import the game plus the get the freeloader just for this game...which is worth it!
u can also transfer yoshi, drmario or panel de pon on the gba!! with the gba link
anyway u cant go wrong with any version....except the ds version is more beginner friendly
like i say before, the n64 have a 3-d cylindric mode which is cool
also the n64 version is 264 blocks bigs...

Nice, Pokémon Puzzle League is one of the few reasons that my N64 is still permanently affixed to my television. As far as puzzle games go, that one's a dandy.

So true!!....now i can rest my n64....and HOPE FOR GOD they got more SNES pad attachment for the wii in NA!! (yeah need to import once it is available) that pad is perfect for this game! (well i got my hori snes pad for the gc...althought the button is bigger, it play well)

Yeah, um...
How 'bout instead of releasing PPL, work on Panel de Pon WiiWare? It'd be much better than hearing Ash and Mewtwo shouting I'M GOING TO WIN at each other repeatedly as an "epic showdown".

snarfoogle: Well-said. I'd still take Yoshi and/or the "fake Lumines" look over I'M GOING TO WIN anyway.

"I'm gonna win"
"Play time is over".
The only game that actually features ASH (Way to go Brawl) and he repeats the same crap over and over,well at least the pokemon themes are sort of decent.

Of course they put up the most expensive version of Panel de Pon possible. Why charge people $8 for Tetris Attack when you can charge them $10 for Pokemon Puzzle League?
Still, I'd be tempted to buy this if I didn't already own Tetris Attack and Planet Puzzle League.

Also this version is bigger in size (264 blocks) but got the extra 3-d cylindric mode and the pokémon theme for fans of the series...u can rack more point after a x13 chains and go on from there
there is some difference in the point system and combo on the 3 versions....but it come to a matter of personnal preference, i will get all 3 versions
still a good purchase, i find that there is no definitive version yet cuz each one introduce some element to the series, like in the gb/gba and latter version, u can keep scrolling to extend ur chain and go beyond the x100...., etc

I like Pokemon games.
I like Panel de Pon (own Planet Puzzle League).
Yet I'm not sure if I want Pokemon Puzzle League because I can't stand the anime. My favourite game route in Pokemon is route 113 because it's always raining little bits of Ash.

This is a must buy, this version is harder than the DS version(the snes version remains the hardest in my opinion because it is harder to rack in more chains...the max is x13, any more and you dont get the point so u must restart the chain everytime....and that gave birth to some crazy combo...speed up chain and lotta explosion and crazy technique ie the last minute double crossed come to mind, etc) and the Pokémon theme wont deter to the gaming at all
Plus this is the only version to contain the 3-D cylindric mode, it is different and fun.
This is also the 1st version to allowed the chains to go higher than x13 to rack up more point but the point system differ from the snes version
Also if u love Planet Puzzlea League and want more challenge (ie the real Normal and Hard version), get this version! also since there is no stylus here...you will need to brush up your d-pad controller skill!
Go for it!

Easier still (since I've spotted a few macs in your pics, Joystiq), alt+e will make é.

I am big fans of the panel de pon/tetris attack/puzzle league series, my all time fav puzzle game, i already own Tetris Attack(mint condition), Pokémon Puzzle League, Tetris Attack GBC, Nintendo Puzzle Collection(gc jap), Panel de Pon (gba jap version, need NA version too) and planet puzzle league...so chalk this one up to another download from the VC..the worse thing is i will probably end up buying Tetris Attack and Panel de Pon if they show up in VC later on....and if they ever do a remake on wiiware...another purchase!!!
i am a decent player(x13 chains is the norms)...i didnt like the garbage battle mode in Wiifi on Puzzle league...it way too long since the block fall down slowly and take forever lol, it is more like a marathon matches!
i prefer the high score version!
the hard mode of the DS is like the equivalent of the easy mode of the snes/n64/gc/gba version and the game is user friendly for beginner and also the stylus make the game more easier to get into(which is a plus for beginner and veteran of the series)
what i like about the N64 version is the 3-d scroll cylindric mode....and yes the garbage mode take forever too in this mode lol! pretty neat and the Pokémon theme is not too bad
overall a must buy game for puzzle fans and if u are a veteran to the serie...u already own it by now :D

Seriously. Lame. Tetris Attack is so much better. The music for that game alone makes it worth it, not to mention it would be cheaper (yeah, that argument goes the other way when you're Nintendo) and smaller, as mentioned above. I refuse to buy PPL because if Tetris Attack comes out, that will just have been wasted money.

The only reason I prefer Tetris Attack is cause in Endless, you get the awesome "STOP" sound rather than that friggin annoying Jigglypuff song.
