Okay, here's my thoughts on the Panel de Pon issue, and some of you might complain. But these are my views on the matter.
Yoshi did not rip off Panel de Pon. Okay, so it did, but think about it people! Who in their right mind would buy a game that has female fairies in it? I'd like to hear someone say they'd buy this game if it came unedited to USA.
I know graphics don't matter, but seriously. It's worse than making Pokemon rip off the game!
I welcome the change of Yoshi making it in Panel de Pon, because I would have never bought a fairy version of it. It's like saying you'd buy a horse racing game with Sailor Moon characters. Just not happening for me.
But yes, Tetris Attack ripped off Panel de Pon. And now, Pokemon Puzzle League ripped off Tetris Attack! That was the WORST excuse for a Pokemon game I've ever seen.
Just like how Matt Hoffman's Pro Biker or whatever totally rips off Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. Look at the angles and gameplay! Identical. The BOX COVER. Identical. A TOTAL rip-off, and a sorry excuse for a game.
So there. It seems no one cares about rip offs. They always buy the new games. I would be glad with everyone flocking to Tetris Attack instead of Panel de Pon (even if their cutesy factor is about the same), but I hate seeing people flock to Pokemon Puzzle League. ANYTHING with Pokemon sells! There could be a game about a tea party, and I bet it would be popular if Pokemon was in it!
