Speaking of game's with alternate versions, I am surprised that Nintendo has not released the SNES version of Wario's Woods yet, it's been over three years since the NES version and they can charge 800 points rather than just 500.

I'm surprised Wario's Woods for the SNES wasn't released instead of the NES version. Although the two have some differences (the NES version has boss battles that don't exist in the SNES version), the SNES version has more content overall, and the better graphics and sound would be more pleasing to people's eyes and ears.

What was the difference between the two other than SNES probably having superior graphics?

Didn't some other games like Yoshi and Dr Mario also come out on both systems or am I mixing them up with the Gameboy versions?

They won't add the SNES version until the NES version finally reaches ZERO downloads.  To Nintendo since the SNES is the better version, if they release it now, anyone that might download the NES version won't.  Nintendo's hoping that everyone who's buying the NES version now will buy the SNES version in the future.

So even though Nintendo could make 800 points off the SNES version now, they don't want to miss out on all the extra 500 points they could be making from people who'll buy both versions.  It's the same reason why we won't see Mario All-Stars released until the year 3425.

There isn't much outside of content, it's mostly little things. The biggest difference is that the SNES version has a vs. computer mode that the NES version lacks, probably because it couldn't handle the A.I. script. The Round Game is endless in SNES, but it tops out at 99 in NES. In NES, the Round Game has a "Type B" mode which has a boss at every tenth stage. The music has different compositions for each game. The diamond item can be moved in SNES, but not in NES. That's all I remember, there might be one or two other things.

Yoshi was released on NES and Game Boy, and Yoshi's Cookie was released on NES, SNES, and Game Boy. With those, I believe there was no difference besides graphics and sound.

Dr. Mario was never released stand-alone on SNES, it was released in the dual-pack Tetris and Dr. Mario.

The previous discussion made me rethink this next poll - curious to see how this turns out.  It's a little unfair (imagine such a poll featuring "Tetris"), I think it could be interesting.

Planet Puzzle League wins for me - all such puzzle games should have online vs. modes.

It's funny, I was thinking "Puzzle League would be good for this" and, voila, here we are!

I picked Tetris Attack on the SNES.  I don't think I've ever played any of the other versions actually.  But then I'm a "buy it once" kind of guy so I never saw much point.  One thing that just makes Tetris Attack that much cooler is because they used the Tetris name with it, we're not going to see it get re-released in that form.  That just makes the original SNES cart that much more interesting.  It's unique and scarce.

One thing that's also interesting is that Tetris Attack is considered one of the classic and most beloved SNES games but it didn't come out until after the N64 had launched.  At the time I don't think it was given much attention since the SNES was "old".  Kirby Super Star was released around the same time and it also has a similar reputation.  I guess great games pass the test of time regardless of the circumstances of their release.  If someone is buying a SNES and wants suggestions for games both titles immediately make the list.

I actually prefer Puzzle League over Tetris.  That's easily the greatest compliment a puzzle game can receive.  With this, Tetris 2, Yoshi, Dr. Mario, Wario's Woods and Yoshi's Cookie Nintendo was on a roll with puzzle games at the time.

Only in Japan, in North America it came out almost 2 months before the N64 launched (it came out on August 4, 1996. The N64 launched on September 29).

The only version i've played was Pokemon Puzzle League, so I went with that. It's a really fun game.

Out of the ones listed I have played the SNES and GB versions of Tetris Attack.Played the GBC version of pokemon puzzle league.
With tetris type games I like to play it on a handheld. I can play it for a little while and can stop when I want.
I went with the GB version of Tetris Attack.

I think the problem is most people only have experience with one version of the game so that's the one they're voting for.

That appears to be the reasoning, at least going by the comments.

By the way, if anyone would like to suggest upcoming titles for this thread, feel free to post or PM them to me. :)

I voted for Pokémon Puzzle Challenge.
I also have Tetris Attack for SNES and Game Boy, as well as Pokémon Puzzle League for Nintedo 64. I can't really remember the differences between them, but I know I enjoyed Puzzle Challenge the most.

Only in Japan, in North America it came out almost 2 months before the N64 launched (it came out on August 4, 1996. The N64 launched on September 29).
In Japan, where it is known as Panel de Pon, it was released in October of 1995, so it came out eight months before the release of the Nintendo 64.

No, they are slightly different games. Panel de Pon came out in October 1995, but the Japanese release of Tetris Attack (which was known as Yoshi's Panel de Pon) was in November 1996 and was only available through the Satellaview service. I made sure to check this out before I made my original comment. A list of some of the changes can be found at TMK (http://www.themushroomkingdom.net/ta_pdp.shtml)

Interesting, I never knew that.
I feel you should have made that distinction in your first post, since Panel de Pon is basically the same game as Tetris Attack with different characters, and the Satellaview is an add-on so Yoshi's Panel de Pon wasn't a regular SNES release.

I played Tetris Attack, Pokemon Puzzle League on the GBC, and then Planet Puzzle League.  While the lack of a character or license-based theme did hurt Planet Puzzle League, as far as defining characteristics, the actual gameplay, puzzles, and various modes were definitely much better.

I've only ever played the SNES one. Some of my friends are crazy addicted to this game even today. They are brother and sister and will still go back to playing hardcore Tetris Attack when they get the chance. I could never truly compete with them but I did get a pretty good grasp of the game though them trouncing me.

I eventually want to get the DS version but it's much lower on my list of games to buy. I'm also holding out hope for a re-release of the SNES game in some fashion.
