It started in Japan, and was named パズル&ドラゴンズ Pazuru Ando Doragonzu there, shortened as Pazudora. Not convinced yet I started reading up on it on the Internet, and found to my surprise that PAD isn’t originally a Nintendo game, but an app game. So I let it slide, busy with Story of the Season.īut then my gaming friends started chatting about it, and I got interested again. So there I was, interested in the game, but not in the Mario part.

Too much Mario all around, ever since the very first Nintendo games. I may be strange, but have you ever had it happen that when the majority of the population is raving about some new pop icon or movie actor, you tend to take the opposite stance? And not like that pop icon or movie actor at all? Maybe that’s what happened in my relationship with Mario. Now I have confessed before that I don’t particularly feel the love for Mario in this blog. And as it’s often with Nintendo, that part took all of it’s focus in the media. In one of its Nintendo Directs that release was announced, but to my surprise, it was to be coupled with a Mario version. game-play was nice, but there was such a lot of text that I decided to wait for a Western release.

I’ve been infected by the PAD virus, or to spell it out: the Puzzle & Dragons virus! It’s not like I didn’t know about the game: I had played a demo of it on my Japanese 3DS about a year ago, and jotted it down for future reference. This time though I was caught by surprise by the game-series that occupies all of my gaming time. Normally I look forward to every new game I buy, jotting down the release dates in a calender so I don’t forget.
