Fun
"From the very first seconds"
Three cult puzzles brought together, including the spellbinding Panel de Pon, the mischievous Dr. Mario and the tactical Yoshi: there's plenty to vary the fun without ever growing bored. Each is grasped in an instant and hides a depth best savoured two-handed. This generosity makes it an ideal compilation for chaining challenges among friends.
Addictiveness
"Obsessive"
Lining up the blocks, setting off a chain and keeping pace as the speed ramps up delivers a clean satisfaction that calls straight for the next round. Bringing together several puzzle classics, the compilation varies its loops and renews the score challenge in each mode. The concepts are decades old, but their readability and immediate tension retain an efficiency that time hasn't dulled.

Is Nintendo Puzzle Collection still worth playing in 2026?
A Japan only compilation gathering three pillars of Nintendo puzzling, Panel de Pon, Dr. Mario and Yoshi no Cookie, this collection bets on timeless mechanics whose effectiveness has never wavered. Panel de Pon remains a peak of competitive puzzling, and the set shines above all in local versus, where the tension climbs fast. The presentation is plain and the title never left Japan, which makes it a sought after piece. For a fan of demanding puzzle games or someone curious about Nintendo heritage, the content keeps all its relevance today.
