Dr. Mario World Coming to Android and iOS

Seemingly out of the blue, yesterday Nintendo dropped a big red pill-shaped bomb (see what I did there?) by posting a YouTube video and tweeting about a hot new game they're bringing back from the grave.

Dr. Mario World is coming to Android and iOS on July 10th.

See the video below:

The original Nintendo version was released as a competitor to the extremely popular Tetris, with a more familiar cast of characters. But this new mobile version has a few things that differentiate it.

For one, the new mobile version is a different kind of puzzle. Rather than pieces falling from the top and being flipped between horizontal and vertical, pieces rise from the bottom of the screen. Second, rather than an infinite gameplay that speeds up, you get stages, and a limited number of pills to solve each stage.

There's also an Angry Birds callback in the fact that each stage ends in a rating (from one to three stars) showing you how well you did and encouraging you to play the same stage again or move on to the next one.

Overall the game looks really fun. We're excited to see it drop this summer!
