On This Day in Nintendo History: Spitball Sparky; Nintendo Puzzle Collection

On this day (February 7) in Nintendo history...

  • Spitball Sparky was released in 1982 for the Game & Watch Super Color in Japan. In this action game, developed by Nintendo R&D1, move Sparky left and right, using the ball to destroy all the blocks on the screen. When the ball passes into the purple area, use the shooter button to spit the ball back into the air. You get one point for each green block cleared, two points for each blue block and three points for each red block. Red blocks take two hits to clear. In Game B, blocks appear and disappear, and can only be hit when they are visible.

  • Nintendo Puzzle Collection was released in 2003 for the Nintendo GameCube in Japan. In this puzzle compilation of Dr. Mario; Yoshi's Cookie and Panel de Pon, developed by Nintendo Software Technology, all three games have been updated with new graphics, sound and single and multiplayer game modes. It is also possible to send versions of each game to the Game Boy Advance using the GameCube-GBA Link Cable.
