Costing a mere 500 Wii Points this simply seems to be an update of the classic game, featuring upgraded graphics, (presumably) music and multiplayer modes. Of course there are also some Hudson touches applied - You can change the tiles to Bomberman heads, if you want!
If you don't have any clue what SameGame is about - Basically, you click on a tile of a certain colour. It, and all tiles which touch it that have the same colour (And all the titles with the same colour touching those, etc.) will disappear, and any tiles that were stacked on top will fall down. The more tiles you destroy with one click, the better, of course! The playing field in SameGame is usually pretty huge - It's therefore not unlikely that you might even split the playing field in half, with no way to connect one side to the other.
Strangely enough, this means Japan is skipping Snowboard Riot for now, despite it being the next scheduled WiiWare game for the US and Europe. Pop Them, Drop Them SameGame is expected to be released in Europe in February. A US release has not been announced yet.

Wow... does not look to bad.
Looks cool for 500 points.
I will have to wait and see how it plays. I do like that Hudson is putting out some games at the 500 price point.
Hudson is apparently pulling support for the VC so they can continue what has turned out to be a very lucrative venture developing WiiWare games. This game looks fun enough, but I'm not keen to pop and drop money on it and support a slap in the VC's cute little face.
Looks and sounds like Breakthru.
"Same Game"? I remember there being a Mario game being called that!
I have a game like this on my laptop. After one hour it is getting boring. Save your money, guys.
So it'd kinda like Bang! - but better? It certainly looks it - but only time will tell.
Oh, and Terranigma: what's the avatar this week?
@Jogurt
I feel that way too
Wow, this looks pretty interesting actually.
It's just Super Collapse for the PC with a different name....zzzzzzzz
For 500 points, this might be worth picking up if it has some online features.
@Terranigma: I seeee....
I think.
I like killer instinct, and I am unstoppable with Cinder ....... actually thats a lie, no matter how much you train in a fighter you can always be defeated by someone just mashing buttons. That's why I'm not a big fan of fighters. Plus they run out of replay value quite fast ...... whats that? Oh, Pop them drop them samegame, right .... it looks pretty good, for $5.
I played SameGame once.. on my family's Tivo. It was a decent game, 500 pts for a game like this is a good deal.
Sounds like Tetris, but still looks fun. And 500 compared to 1200 is awesome!
@Terranigma: Thanks for that - I get it now! Forget the next UK WiiWare day: next Friday I'm more excited about seeing what you've got lined up for us next!
Also: the logo is still secret until the 21st of January, because if I start telling everyone what it is, then I'll get really excited and won't be able to refrain myself from urinating myself - even though [what's happening on] that date doesn't arrive in the UK until the 25th (anuvva clue). Remember - if you can guess - you win a cookie! (Oversees don't get prizes. Sorry )
If you're desperate: I'll give you a clue, but then you won't win a cookie.Instead, you'll win... a biodegradable carrier bag.
@Terranigma: Not a game, no - it's to do with somethingorother that's back for the fifth time. Not much of a clue, so I'll give you it for free
And thanks for the kind words about my 'site - I'm particularly happy with the interviews - but I haven't got much time to do it all myself at the moment , but once my new lappy arrives I might be able to find a few spare minutes, and will try to keep up the interviewsyness.
I remember this game on my old (deceased) computer. I want this...for 500.
@Wiiloveit: You have your own site? Neat! mind if I ask what it is? I always think it would be sweet to have my own site, based on vidjeo gamez. Give a review each week or so, put some cheats on there, some videos. That'd be so sweet ........................... where am I?
500 points for "Sega Swirl" for the Dreamcast. Not a bad idea.
