They seemingly had nothing to do with the original GameBoy release, though, which hit Japanese store shelves back in early 1994.
So who made it? Access, a company I'd never heard of before I started researching this post.
Sadly, I can't tell you how the two titles compare to one another. Based on what I've seen of the Super Famicom iteration, its gameplay mirrors what's offered up by the GameBoy cart.
As for what Nontan to Issho Kuru Kuru Puzzle's gameplay is like, imagine your typical match-two puzzler. (Yes, I said "match two" and not "match three" here.) Then alter that image in such a way that you can flip each of the game's pieces to see their backsides.
Sadly, that aspect of Nontan to Issho Kuru Kuru Puzzle isn't as thrilling as it may sound, but it still adds a unique twist to this overdone--at the time, in particular--genre.
With that out of the way, let's focus on the Nontan to Issho Kuru Kuru Puzzle instruction manual.
As you can see, it's very yellow-orange. It also features some nice illustrations of cute animals.
I think it could feature a lot more of the latter, though. I also think it could feature bigger and better illustrations of the game's puzzle pieces.
In the end, the Nontan to Issho Kuru Kuru Puzzle manual is more about explaining how to play the game than it is about forcing oohs and aahs out of readers.
To be honest, I can't blame the designers at Victor Interactive for going this route. Instruction manuals are supposed to educate people, after all.
Still, a little visual pizzazz would've gone a long way here, if you ask me--especially given this game's youthful target audience.
