Panel de Pon 64 (also simply known as Panel de Pon) is a game in the Panel de Pon series that was set to release on the Nintendo 64, but then cancelled and retooled as Pokémon Puzzle League outside of Japan. The game would later see a release with its original cast on the Nintendo GameCube in Nintendo Puzzle Collection however, exclusively in Japan.
In July 2020, YouTube channel Gamers Manuel published a video showcasing for the first time a prototype version of the N64 version, referred to as "pre-beta revision 79".[1]
Evidence prior to the discovery of the prototype cartridge already pointed to the Panel de Pon game on the Nintendo Puzzle Collection being originally a N64 game, such as the game being mentioned in the code for the N64 emulator used in The Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition and in the Wii's Virtual Console; with serial code NYLJ.[2] Similar information was also found for a Japanese version of Dr. Mario 64, which was a game also included in Nintendo Puzzle Collection.
Story
Gameplay
Gameplay is close to (if not completely) identical to Pokémon Puzzle League, with the only addition being a 4-player versus mode in the Nintendo Puzzle Collection release − it is currently unknown if the N64 would have supported 4 players.
