WiiWare: Hudson Announce Pop'em Drop'em SameGame

Previously revealed through the Australian classificiation website, Hudson has officially unveiled their latest WiiWare offering - Pop'em Drop'em SameGame.

"Pop 'Em Drop 'Em Samegame features classic puzzle gameplay in which players match two or more colored blocks to clear them. As blocks are cleared, the remaining blocks will shift. If players are skilled enough, bonus points are awarded when all blocks are cleared. The game allows for play with up to four friends at home in three fast-paced multiplayer modes: Fame Game, Shame Game and Blame Game. Players can also customize the game by changing the block design and backgrounds.

"The game features simple, easy to understand puzzle elements that casual gamers will love. It is easy and addictive to play but challenging to master. Players simply need to match two or more colored blocks and hit a button. It’s that easy! The challenge comes when players advance and try to maximize their score."

It actually kind of looks cool for their version of this classic PC title. Even the smallest things like tiny Bomberman heads always make the fans happy, and I can't help but be remembered by SEGA Swirl in some of these screenshots too.
