Fantastic flops
The greatest games that nobody bought
Meteos
On DS | By Nintendo
If you thought puzzle games were slow, thoughtful affairs, you probably haven't experienced the falling block monsoon season of Meteos. One of the DS' more frantic titles, even compared to Wario Ware, simply matching block colours isn't enough to clear them in Meteos – they have to be blasted back into orbit as well.
The constant vertical traffic (falling blocks can weigh down your launched blocks, especially on levels with heavy gravity) makes for unique and speedy gameplay that will have you scratching at your screen like it's an Etch-a-Sketch.
