VC Friday: Become a Pokemon Puzzle Master!

By Chris Greenhough

Despite their ubiquity, the majority of Pokémon games manage to maintain a high standard, even when they abandon the more traditional Pokémans formula. Pokémon Puzzle League, for example, is one of the best examples of a Pokémon game that isn't a Pokémon game, and is comfortably worth its 1000 Wii Point price tag.

A pair of Eikichi Kawasaki-designed Neo Geo titles round off the week in Europe and Australia — Samurai Shodown is one of the Neo Geo's best fighting games, while Burning Fight is another addition to the already oversubscribed (on the VC, at least) dude-smashing genre.

  • Pokémon Puzzle League — Nintendo 64 — 1000 Wii Points
  • Samurai Shodown — Neo Geo — 900 Wii Points
  • Burning Fight — Neo Geo — 900 Wii Points

Footage of all three follows the break!
