It&#8217;s a physics-based puzzle game where you have to guide stars to the ground by tapping the colourful blocks they stand on; we&#8217;ve got some screenshots for you below, but the trailer above shows it off best.<\/p>\n<p>For all we know, this could end up being the last game to arrive on the Wii U&#8217;s eShop, although we&#8217;re a little reluctant to give it the title of &#8216;Last Wii U Game Ever&#8217;. You see, Drop It: Block Paradise! actually launched for the system in Europe way back in 2017, just a few months after the Switch had been released. We&#8217;re not sure why this North American launch has taken so long, but at least it got here eventually.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"gallery\">\n<div class=\"col\"><a title=\"WiiU DropIt BlockParadise 01\" href=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/84e9b4fe312e0\/wiiu-dropit-blockparadise-01.original.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/static.nintendolife.com\/blank.gif\" width=\"445\" height=\"245\" data-original=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/84e9b4fe312e0\/wiiu-dropit-blockparadise-01.445x245.jpg\" alt=\"WiiU DropIt BlockParadise 01\"><\/a><a title=\"WiiU DropIt BlockParadise 02\" href=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/293c0345fa816\/wiiu-dropit-blockparadise-02.original.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/static.nintendolife.com\/blank.gif\" width=\"445\" height=\"245\" data-original=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/293c0345fa816\/wiiu-dropit-blockparadise-02.445x245.jpg\" alt=\"WiiU DropIt BlockParadise 02\"><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"col\"><a title=\"WiiU DropIt BlockParadise 03\" href=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/f88850417b57a\/wiiu-dropit-blockparadise-03.original.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/static.nintendolife.com\/blank.gif\" width=\"445\" height=\"245\" data-original=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/f88850417b57a\/wiiu-dropit-blockparadise-03.445x245.jpg\" alt=\"WiiU DropIt BlockParadise 03\"><\/a><a title=\"WiiU DropIt BlockParadise 04\" href=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/8e989c860c9ce\/wiiu-dropit-blockparadise-04.original.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/static.nintendolife.com\/blank.gif\" width=\"445\" height=\"245\" data-original=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/8e989c860c9ce\/wiiu-dropit-blockparadise-04.445x245.jpg\" alt=\"WiiU DropIt BlockParadise 04\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>It&#8217;ll launch for just $1.99, which is significantly cheaper than its \u00a33.59 price in Europe.<\/p>\n<p><em>So, will you be inviting the Wii U round for dinner this year?
