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.

1. It's not a level. Not sure why no one noticed that.

2. There's no easy story mode. There's only normal and hard.

3. 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.

4. 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?

5. The game was not released in 2012. It was released in 2016.

6. 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 :)
