  • A playthrough of Capcom's 1998 licensed-based puzzle game for the Nintendo 64, Magical Tetris Challenge.
    Played through as Donald Duck on the default difficulty level.
    If you'd like to see Mickey's story, see my video of the PlayStation version of the game here: • Magical Tetris Challen...
    Capcom's Disney take on the N64 of the Soviet PC game was certainly one of the more memorable console versions of Tetris to appear over the years. It features four different stories, one for each character you can play as, and a presentation that'll make any kid (or adult ;) ) fall in love with it within seconds.
    Magical Tetris Challenge has just about all of the standard features found in any Tetris game, but it adds quite a few of its own. In addition to the cast of Disney characters and multiple storylines, it introduces "pentominos" that are launched at your opponent as you successfully clear lines - they go between standard 2x2 blocks all the way up to massive 5x5 blocks. As you can imagine, they can wreak havoc on the unsuspecting recipient. The AI can be pretty tough in this game - far more so than the recent Puyo Puyo Tetris. I actually can't recall playing another Tetris game that was quite this stiff in its difficulty level.
    The graphics really sell this one, though. Try to ignore the ugly and totally out of place prerendered CGI playing field "toppers" - they look gross - but the sprites look great, and they tend to resemble the sprite work from Capcom's SNES Mickey games, but with much more detail and animation. The story is merely window-dressing, but it undoubtedly captures the signature Disney charm. If you like Mickey and you like Tetris, this one makes for an easy decision. It's well worth playing.
    Side note: the N64 game is the only version of the game that was released in America. There was, however, a PlayStation version released in Japan and Europe.

    Fun Fact: This game is the first game directed by Hidemaro Fujibayashi, who was a former Capcom employee who would later go on to work for Nintendo, where he would be best known for his work on The Legend of Zelda series, including directing Skyward Sword and the Critically-Acclaimed Zelda games, Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.

    By beating the snot out of you in Tetris? Goofy has an odd definition of helping.

    Disney plus Capcom typically equals awesome, and Magical Tetris Challenge fits that pattern well.

    Wow, this has that pure late 90s Capcom flair in just about everything. It's just weird to see it in a game that's far from being made for arcade/fighting game otaku.
    Also, cute how Mickey has the Steamboat Willie animation on the third stage.

    It was a good thing that Nintendo allowed this game to be released here in North America on the Nintendo 64 and the Gameboy Color because Sony's stupid no 2D policy by Bernie Stolar force the PlayStation version to be released in Japan and Europe only.

    So why hasn’t this game been Remade yet? I know that it’s Disney and all but from what I know Disney and Nintendo aren’t on bad terms with each other it’s not a bad game and could use some more content and online play

    • @zenksren8206
      @zenksren8206 3 года назад +3

      The other big reason besides the license is this game's style/mechanics are more line with Sega Tetris ie It doesn't fit the stupid Tetris Guideline that's been a thing since the PS2 era

    • @IkeSan
      @IkeSan 2 года назад +2

      Tetris Guideline tetris problems.
      Tetris games must follow those versions.
      Although Tetris Effect has modes similar to these ones but I bet it was a pain to get authorization for them.

    Say, what are the differences between this and its PS1 and Arcade counterparts?
    I feel like they are pretty much the exact same thing, with the only difference being the control scheme.

    Only bad part about the N64 version is that it lacks the Capcom fanfare the PS1 version had (which is also heard in 3 Mega Man games)
