    One of the other announcements from the recent Nintendo Direct, Nintendo will be releasing the two games Puzzle & Dragons Z and Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition as a single bundle for the 3DS this May.

    Both based on the popular free smartphone game (wildly popular in Japan, I might add), the best way I can think of to describe Puzzle & Dragons is Candy Crush + Pokémon + a first-person dungeon crawler. On the bottom half of the screen (the touch screen on the 3DS version), players work to match and combo three or more of a like colored orb, which on the top screen translates into damage inflicted onto enemy monsters by your own team of monsters. Winning these battles will grant you coins and monster eggs, which, when hatched, can be fused with other monsters to level them up or evolve them.

    Puzzle & Dragons Z dials up the RPG aspect of the game, adding an overworld, characters, NPCs, and a story to play through. Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition does the same, except (as expected) with a Mario twist.

    Watch the trailer below:

    I thought this looked familiar. I played that smarthphone game a while back as one of the first games I ever downloaded onto my phone. It's actually a pretty cool idea, and certainly has a nice twist to it.
