Wii #0559 - Balloon Pop (USA)

[bollocks]

this is actually a good game - there's been a bit of a trend recently for slagging off puzzle games because theyre perceived as "casual" (i wonder what kind of reception tetris would have got if it was released now?) but this one is definitely worth playing. especially if you're only paying $20 or (more likely) the price of a blank DVD for it.

it's quite similar to taito's arcade/ps1/gbc game "pop'n pop", and there's a good reason for that - it was supposed to be a sequel to that game (i think it's by happy happening, the developers of bust-a-move DS) but thanks to some internal taito/square-enix politics they lost the license.

is it the same game as Puyo puyo Japanese or it is another game ?

Then I saw the cover art and began to cry.

OH a Balloon Fight sequel would be so awesome!

And still this son of a bitch is 4450 MB!!! I am sooo waiting for the time they can crop these games.

I'll bet the stripped version of this game will be 10 MB

Your wish may be granted sooner than you think

Smallest one I've seen so far is about 260Meg.

I found this to be pretty addictive, it's good for a budget title considering the large scale of shovelware on Wii recently.

Also yes, it works fine on PAL machines. Tested with Wiikey 1.9g / 3.1 FW.
