It's a widely known fact that when you construct a puzzle game, you absolutely must use falling blocks. There's just no getting around this convention, as falling blocks tap directly into the power of human instinct, subconsciously demanding that our brains rearrange them in ways that would yield the greatest score. And then Dr. Mario came along and replaced the blocks with pills, truly illustrating the fact that we pitiful humans are simply addicted to moving falling items about so that they fit perfectly in here, over there and oh if I can just swivel this one in time it'll slot right in there.So, we can all agree that Dr. Mario is an essential part of life. But where's the DS version? It seems that the answer can be found in the latest Brain Training title to be released in Japan. According to 4 Color Rebellion, Dr. Mario appears (after a fashion) as a secret mini-game. Looks pretty cool, but we're a bit confused about the way you have to hold the DS to play it. But then, we were also confused by an airplane just the other day. It's made of metal! How does it stay in the air like that?

1. I've played the demo of this, you hold the DS sideways for most of the brain games. the only one i could understand was the math one, where is asks quick problems (6x4) and you write the answer w/ the stylus on the screen. i cant wait till this comes to the us, its great.
