Looks good to me. Thank you :)
Sounds like a solid solution to me. Have it able to be found under both Puzzle League and AC series, and have it listed as a minigame under AC:NL.
Just having it tucked away as a "level" of animal crossing new leaf is just about the last place I'd look for it. And yeah, I'm not entirely familiar with the structure of the site/connections between games/series/etc. My apologies.
It is though. You have to launch it through New Leaf using an item found in-game. The 3DS splash screen thing is just a gag, because the item is a New 3DS. The Wii U item for Desert Island Escape does the same thing with a Wii U splash screen, but it's obviously not running a Wii U game.
Is this the case? A bit unrelated I suppose but I was hoping to be able to extract it from my copy of AC:NL and just launch it as a standalone. Perhaps this isn't possible? I just checked and it turns out you're right that it seems to be a mock splash screen, unfortunately.
Either way, my understanding was that, like other embedded games, it should be considered a game in it's own right, even if unreleased elsewhere. But the solution @CardsOfTheHeart posted seems fine with me. I guess I'm just a stickler for accuracy and consistency.
There's lots of problems with the AC:PL board here.
-
It's not a level. Not sure why no one noticed that.
-
There's no easy story mode. There's only normal and hard.
-
All of the modes are missing. Alongside normal/hard story mode there should be:
Score Attack, easy/normal/hard Time Attack, easy/normal/hard Garbage Attack, easy/normal/hard Candy Mode, easy/normal/hard
That's for completeness.
-
The game boots up and runs through the 3DS splash again when booting, it's not a part of AC:NL proper. It should be considered it's own game much like how "Nintendo Puzzle Collection (Panel de Pon)" is done. Or should all multigame releases have all the games under the same board?
-
The game was not released in 2012. It was released in 2016.
-
Technically the game is part of the Puzzle League series. Much like how Pokemon Puzzle League or the Puzzle League in "Dr Mario & Puzzle League" are (whereas Dr Mario is not)
Hopefully these problems can be resolved and there can be consistency across the site. Thanks :)
