Unlike other fantastic ports of puzzle games, this is different than the Saturn game in pretty big (and negative) ways. The reduction of the amount of rows you get, in addition to changes to the way pieces are cleared make this feel like an incomplete minigame compared to the original. It also doesn't help they used the same (awful) 3D graphics, but just digitized them with all the love of the Gameboy Mortal Kombat ports. This could have been Baku Baku's premier platform, and instead we lost a treasure of puzzle gaming to the ages.

Or at least, we could have had a decent thing to play on the Game Gear between Collumns

100% agree. Playing this one on a console is still best done with Saturn
