Has it made it to stores here yet? I tried to get it on Monday, which was the proposed release date, but they didn't have it in. Also, the Gamestop employee straight-up lied to me, but that's a different matter altogether.

It has wi-fi.

Dess, hopefully we can figure out how to play each other this time!

That's a Master P 'UHN,' right? Because I'll do it.

Okay, I've got the game and have already spent a few hours with it. Just haven't been online yet. I'll actually have a friend code for everybody (or just Dessgeega or whatever) tomorrow.

I think if I had to pick a favorite genre and if there were a genre called Meteos/PuzzleLeague, then that would be my favorite genre.

the menus looked nicer in the jap version.

yes; in the japanese, the menus are blue on an austure, casual-games white. in the american, they're matrix-green on black. it's a strange choice - maybe they expect that more "serious" than "casual" players will be interested in the game in the west - but not a terribly consequential one. otherwise i havn't noted any different between the american and japanese versions (other than language).

the voice chat isn't very good, and neither is cycle's connection. wireless play works pretty well - closer to tetris than to mario kart, which remains the worst implementation of wifi i've encountered. maybe it was an isolated case?

On the off chance that anyone will actually be on at the same time as me.

So I have the game, but none of my wireless access points work. This is dumb. At least I will have time to practice.

Also, I wish I could add your names so that I would know who I was playing. I suppose I could just ask though.

These tend to work pretty well. Pulling out a DS in McDonald's might not be your thing, but it's not so bad, and you can buy a cup of coffee or something.

yes!

it annoys me that there seems to be no way to turn on "exploding lift" - adding more tiles while matched ones are clearing - in an online game. it makes the game a lot slower and chains a lot harder, especially since i'm used to it being on in the single-player game.

Some of the matches were really good. Others I lost within the first 30 seconds. For the good ones, though, I wish it would record the movies like it does for the single player time attacks.

yeah, the items (optional!) are off the hook.

also i discovered that you can adjust the volume of the voice chat, which explains why cycle sounded so muffled when i played him. or else he was talking through a cat.

I've been very busy this week, so my only gaming whatsoever has been my daily plays in this game (like brain training) and brief stints of birthday battling online. There's a problem with the non-friend online play: where are the items? I can't understand why you don't have the option to turn them on or off like you do in matches with friends. Also, I have yet to figure out the rankings system. I am the only person listed every time I try to check up on them.

I have a question: Is this thread about sharing one's friend code with the good folks at gamer's quarter? May be obvious, but previously my code has been deleted, i suppose, at the behest of the mods, with whom i have no affiliation. Is that a common occurance? I notice a disturbing lack of friend code sharing in dessgeega's tetris friend-code thread, for instance.

dessgeega · Posted: Sat Jun 16, 2007 5:40 am Post subject:

oh, i deleted it because i assumed you were one of those kids who inevitably descends on the forum whenever someone posts a friend code thread to troll for codes despite having never participated in the community before or interacted with any of the posters you expect to add you.

was i mistaken?

Yes, well, I would like to begin. You are right -it doesn't make a lick of sense to start with an errant friend code list, nonetheless I do not appreciate necessarily having to add extraneous information and/or observations in the oft-chance that my message from earth be not deleted; however them ARE the breaks, apparently. I registered at Wii-philes, too, unfortunately that service doesn't seem to be very active. Maybe we should talk about that.

How would I characterize myself...hmm...how about, the person who would like to play panel de pon with some thoughtful, intelligent people.

P.S.
I am actually thoroughly enjoying Picross DS at the moment, and here is my friend code for that:

I was pretty okay at Tetris Attack once upon a time, but these days I'll probably go down without much of a fight. Drop me a PM!
