Puzzle League/Panel De Pon General (Former SSB4 Lip Support Thread)

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

Sexuel fanservice in PdP ? NO WAY, NO !

Nintendo has been pushing a lot of fanservice in the their titles since Metroid: Zero Mission and even more so since Kid Icarus Uprising. So I wouldn't be surprised at all if they tried pushing it with a possible new Panel De Pon.

 

[TheWolfBunny]

For a new Panel de Pon, more than six colors will be available to choose from with a toggling feature, but only up from 4-6 colors can be used. A lengthy Story Mode would be challenging, yet tempting.

Is there a link where I can find the voices for Lip?

 

[Kawai nic]

Don't touch my PdP with your ecchi/moe fanservice ! Do you want to transform the serie into a Arcana Heart like ?

I ripped her "Iku zo!" and "Nintendo" for an article on The Cutting Room Floor.

You'd better not be thinking of anything... naughty.

But seriously, KI:U doesn't have a lot of sexual fanservice at all. Not in-game, anyway. Metroid, well yeah, you could make a point for the Zero Suit, although SSB4 sort of redesigned it to make it look more like light armor and less like a cat suit (they even made the heels flame jets). I'd be very surprised if they put any fanservice in a Panel de Pon sequel considering there was none before. PDP is about on the level of the Mario series, which has never been "sexy" at all. It hasn't been fanservice-y before, and it shouldn't start now.

 

[Kawai nic]

PdP is a kid friendly franchise appreciated by children, just like Mario and Kirby. Make it fanserviced could kill the serie.

 

[N. Onymous]

And it's partially the kid-friendliness of Panel de Pon that makes me believe a modern-day sequel or rerelease would go over a lot better than the marketing exec responsible for our fairy-drought thinks. Making the change to Tetris Attack back in 1996 was a good marketing decision, definitely. It was the 1990s. But here we are, twenty years later, and would you look at how things have changed? My Little Pony is huge, Littlest Pet Shop is modestly popular, even Barbie got a web series that was well-received. And many people will tell you they don't like the series in spite of their cuteness or girliness, but at least partially because of it.

I think the recent success of Splatoon has shown that players worldwide will buy a game, even if it's cutesy-poo and adorable, simply on account of it being fun to play. In fact, especially if it's cute. Entire articles have been written about how same-y and generic most modern shooters feel, and how refreshing it is to see Splatoon take that gritty, gory, real-is-brown art style everyone and their dog has been churning out endlessly, stomp on it, and put up instead bright colors and charming character designs. It's not a perfect game by any means. It does have its flaws... but do you notice how little criticism of the game focuses on the adorableness of the character designs? Unless you hang out around 13-year-old Modern Warfare 25 fans all day, any criticism the game gets is always related to the gameplay. We're long past the days of dismissing new and unfamiliar IPs out of principle just because of a cheery, colorful art design, and it's time the fellas at Nintendo and Intelligent Systems came to realize that.

Give Lip a chance, Nintendo!

 

[Kawai nic]

Yeah, the cuteness is epic, we have to make it know. Plus, I don't know how american and european people could accept games like this

But they couldn't accept games like this

 

[MoveMan1]

It's simple. One is for otakus, the other is for FLITHY LOLICONS.

 

[N. Onymous]

It's just a hunch, but I think the T rating might have something to do with it. Cuteness seems to be more tolerated if it's "subverted" in such a way that it ends up aimed at teenagers or adults. Disgaea is a modestly successful series with generally cutesy character designs, and its characters swear, act violent, make sexual innuendoes, and occasionally dress in glorified bikinis even if that results in a rather uncomfortable design (looking at you, Etna). Even the English translation of Puyo Pop Fever snuck in a few damns and hells, IIRC, though that might be Atlus's doing. Panel de Pon is completely earnest in its sweetness, dresses everyone modestly, has zero sexual content, and knowing Nintendo would pretty much be rated E if it was localized, and that may be a reason why some people were (are?) afraid to take a chance with it.

 

[TheWolfBunny]

We all need to give even the cutest fairy characters like Lip a chance. Here's some more Panel de Pon / Puzzle League blocks I made to give Lip and the Puzzle League more love! You'll love them. Trust me.

Love Live! School Idol Project-shaded block set:

Love Live! Block (It's supposed to be a lowercase Mu which is the symbol for the Muse idol unit):

Pokemon Puzzle League 16-Bit Blocks:

And as the cherry on top of the puzzling cake, a METEOS-STYLED Puzzle League block collection!:

 

[FalKoopa]

Speaking of kid-friendly-ness, honestly, Kirby and Puyo-puyo are good examples to emulate.

We're no longer in the age where cutesy and cartoony stuff is seen as 'For Kids Only'. Heck, ramping up its cuteness could make it more marketable, at least in Japan.

Right now, an eShop game is a perfect opportunity just sitting there. Though give how Chibi-Robo made a surprise comeback, I have a bit more faith.

 

[N. Onymous]

I keep saying, Panel de Pon would be the PERFECT series to spin off into a merchandising line along the lines of Mario or Pokémon, especially if it were aimed at young girls. It could be Nintendo's way of tapping into the Monster High market, even.

This actually makes too much sense for Nintendo not to do.

 

[N. Onymous]

It's also a venture Nintendo has nothing to really lose by taking. Cuteness/moe is huge in Japan, so the merchandise is near-guaranteed to sell well. It would be easy to export, since Panel de Pon not only has an art style that would greatly appeal to young or adolescent girls, it could also appeal to older collectors who enjoy the cute aesthetic. The merchandising possibilities are almost limitless - the Big N discovered a license to print money 30 years ago when they came up with the idea of slapping Mario's face on everything, so why not give Lip a shot? Maybe not things like shampoo or shower gel or all the other weird stuff Mario got in the '80s-'90s, but stuff like dolls, blankets, curtains, pillows, backpacks, clothing, undergarments, plush toys (ESPECIALLY plush toys <3), all fair game. You could even make gummy candies or noodles shaped like the fairies or even the panels themselves.

I brought up Monster High, which might seem odd, but that franchise is popular enough in Japan to get a series of exclusive web shorts. It's not at all hard to see why either, considering the art design and characters are pretty anime-ish as it is. MH is profitable enough for Hasbro to make their answer to it in Equestria Girls, which is saying something considering how massively popular My Little Pony has been ever since late 2010. By turning Panel de Pon into a multimedia franchise (as opposed to just a video game franchise) along the lines of Mario or Sonic, they could very well unearth a goldmine the likes of which could rival Pokémon in cashflow. Well, probably not Pokémon, but it's a nice thought.

..So why aren't they?

 

[Kawai nic]

I hate Monster High, so I don't think turn PdP in a similar media is good x)

 

[TheWolfBunny]

If they sold panels in multimedia, they'd sell cube dice shapes, and how about cube digital clocks?

 

[Kawai nic]

LEGO PANEL DE PON !!!!!

 

[N. Onymous]

The ide of Barbie-esque Panel de Pon brushable/fashion dolls appeals to me for some reason. ^^

 

[POKEMANSPIKA]

Guys, before you get caught up in the whole multimedia Panel De Pon, you still have to remember that our main goal is to get Lip in Smash. You guys are thinking way to far ahead. Lip hasn't even come over to America yet and you're thinking of Legos, tv shows, plushies, toys. Calm down and be realistic everyone.

 

[TheWolfBunny]

OK, now that Fire Emblem If has released in Japan, I think it's FINALLY TIME for INTELLIGENT SYSTEMS to start a new Panel de Pon / Puzzle League game for Wii U and 3DS at long last, with online play and tourneys. Who's with me?
They already did 3 Pushmo games, so it's about time to revive a classic after all these years.

4 Pushmo games. Personally I'd like another Advance Wars but Panel de Pon (Make it an Puzzle RPG if anything) would be cool.

 

[N. Onymous]

I know, we're getting ahead of ourselves, but it's fun to speculate sometimes. ^^

Panel de Pon as a puzzle RPG? YES. NOW.

Now here's another Panel de Pon art picture. Believe it or not, on deviantART, I requested this picture to spread Lip awareness. I asked with permission to share this, and HaroPetCreatorLT, the guy who made it, said yes! Let's see if @ N N. Onymous can get a lot of notes with this puzzling son of a gun at F Yeah Panel de Pon. Credit goes to HaroPetCreatorLT on deviantART for creating this, and myself since I requested this. She does need support. A LOT.

lol Link is there. He's one of the most recognizable and unforgettable characters in video games (even if people still call him Zelda).

 

[N. Onymous]

Well, Shulk is there too. I wouldn't call Shulk obscure either, especially after Operation Rainfall took off. Or Pit, really. Kid Icarus was always a cult classic. The theme seems to be more anime-style characters than obscure ones (Roy, Pit, Link, Marth, Shulk, plus Lip).

Comic's adorable, by the way!

I buy it !

I wouldn't just buy it. I'd buy ten copies. :D

Thank you! Let's hope THIS one here will get a ton of notes. So put this comic up on F Yeah Panel de Pon, put the character tags down, the series, and misc., and we're good to go!

 

[Kawai nic]

I think cute characters like Ness and Lucas could have their place in this comic ^^

This was heart-warming. And I'm a sucker for things like these.

 

[N. Onymous]

And that's the second post I've made on F Yeah Panel de Pon to hit the tag cap. WHY DO YOU PUT SO MANY CHARACTERS IN THESE PICTURES. D: (Partially my fault for wanting to tag everything in English and Japanese for Japanese-native Tumblr users... all seven of them.)

But yeah, I hope this draws in some of the attention that Lip's really been needing.

 

[Deleted member]

Can i be in the supporter list?

 

[POKEMANSPIKA]

Can i be in the supporter list?

Welcome Speedwagon to Lip's support thread!

 

[smashkirby]

Um, guys? I...don't think I'm on the support list for Lip, and I really do support her.

 

[TheWolfBunny]

And now, here's some more Panel de Pon artwork of mine.
6 NEW BLOCK SETS!

Bricky:

Checkered:

Mineral:

Planet (In the style of Planet Puzzle League):

Magic:

And Glassy:

AND for the first time ever, ripped before your very eyes, is the Pokemon Puzzle League Basic Block Set. Also used as the default and only block set in Panel de Pon GC.

 

[N. Onymous]

I really like the Magic and Glassy sets. Nice job. ^^

Miss you already, Mr. Iwata.
