Nintendo Wii · 1985
About this game
Pop 'Em Drop 'Em Samegame is a variant of SameGame, a puzzle game concept that was introduced with the game Chain Shot in 1985.
The player is presented with a board full of blocks and the goal is to remove them all.

To remove blocks the player simply clicks on a group of two or more blocks of the same colour.
As blocks are removed those above will fall down and fill in the empty space.
When columns are emptied the blocks will fill in from the right.
The game goes on until there are no more blocks that can be removed.
When all blocks on the board have been removed the player will move on to a new board.
The player scores for each block removed and larger groups of blocks give the most points.
Different options exist that alter the game's difficulty.
This include the size of the board (from 9x9 to 22x12) and number of colours (3-5).
It is also possible to use bombs that can blow up unwanted blocks.
The game features multiplayer for up to four players locally.
There are three different multiplayer modes: fame game, shame game and blame game.
Fame game is most similar to the single player and the player with the highest score wins.
Shame game turns it all around; here the player with the lowest score wins.
In these modes a player can colourblock the other players by clearing large numbers of blocks.
In the blame game all players play on the same board.
About Nintendo Wii
Launched in 2006, the Wii's motion controls (Wii Remote) brought casual and non-traditional players into console gaming at a scale no prior system had achieved, making it one of the best-selling consoles ever. Because so many Wii units sold with bundled software like Wii Sports, the bulk of the library is inexpensive to collect — but it also means truly rare Wii titles (often niche Japanese-only releases) stand out sharply from the norm.
Gamevaro tracks SameGame for Nintendo Wii with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding SameGame to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This WII release dates back to 1985.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for SameGame, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Nintendo Wii titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
