Puzzle & Dragons Two-Pack On 3DS Matches Up A May Release Date
Nintendo has announced that its Puzzle & Dragons partnerships with Gung Ho has a release date. The two-pack of titles will be landing on May 22.
The bundle includes Puzzle & Dragons Super Mario Edition, which puts a Mushroom Kingdom spin on the mobile match-3 money-maker. Players will assemble a team of Mario characters and traverse different locales from the franchise. Enemies include Goombas, Koopa Troopas, and more well-known foes.
The other title in the bundle, Puzzle & Dragons Z, plays out more like a traditional RPG. Players talk to NPCs, explore, collect monsters, evolve them, and use them in battle (played out on match-3 boards, of course).
The pair of titles will be on a single cartridge and retail for $29.99. For more, you can read our preview of the Super Mario Edition from PAX East.
Our Take
I’ve stayed away from the mobile version due to my dislike of free-to-play smartphone games. However, I did enjoy my time with this at PAX and have a fondness for games like Puzzle Quest that combine match-3 mechanics with other elements.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
