After it became apparent that the 64DD would not be a commercial success, Pokémon Stadium was moved to standard cartridge format. An expansion disc was also planned for the 64DD game and got canceled in the hardware move.</p>

The official sequel to Namco's coin op classic Dig Dug. It was originally released in arcades and later ported to the NES and Famicom Disk System. It is a major departure from the original and is often seen as being far inferior.

<h2>Overview</h2><p>Dig Dug II is a Namco action/puzzle Arcade game and the sequel to their hit <a href="/dig-dug/3030-2587/" data-ref-id="3030-2587">Dig Dug</a>. It shifts the gameplay from a <a href="/boulder-dash/3030-2991/" data-ref-id="3030-2991">Boulder Dash</a> style digging game to a <a href="/qix/3030-6136/" data-ref-id="3030-6136">QIX</a> style game where the hero, Taizo Hori, is cutting off sections of an island to drop his old enemies Pooka and Fygar into the ocean.</p><p>It followed its predecessor to the Arcades initially, and then saw ports to the Nintendo Entertainment System. Its US release received a subtitle: Trouble in Paradise (the islands of the game were depicted as tropical islands in its promotional art). It was also ported to the FDS via the <a href="/disk-writer-exclusive/3015-7686/" data-ref-id="3015-7686">Disk Writer</a> service. It eventually saw a digital release on the Wii Shop's Virtual Console Arcade and the NES version later came to the Wii U Virtual Console..</p><h2>Gameplay</h2><figure data-align="right" data-img-src="https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/0/4527/1754901-1.gif" data-ref-id="1300-1754901" data-size="small" data-ratio="0.875" data-width="256" data-embed-type="image" style="width: 256px"><a class="fluid-height" style="padding-bottom:87.5%" href="https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/0/4527/1754901-1.gif" data-ref-id="1300-1754901"><img alt=" Dig Dug II is played from a top-down perspective" src="https://www.giantbomb.com/a/uploads/original/0/4527/1754901-1.gif" srcset="https://www.giantbomb.com/a/uploads/original/0/4527/1754901-1.gif 256w" sizes="(max-width: 256px) 100vw, 256px" data-width="256"></a><figcaption> Dig Dug II is played from a top-down perspective</figcaption></figure><p>Unlike the original where the player had to dig holes underground to defeat enemies, Dig Dug II is played from a <a href="/top-down-perspective/3015-788/" data-ref-id="3015-788"> top-down perspective</a> on an island where there is no digging underground at all. There are 32 distinct levels in the arcade version and 72 in the <a href="/nes/3045-21/" data-ref-id="3045-21"> NES</a> and <a href="/famicom-disk-system/3045-91/" data-ref-id="3045-91"> Famicom Disk System</a> ports. The player must kill all enemies on the island in order to advance to the next level. To do this, <a href="/taizo-hori/3005-2369/" data-ref-id="3005-2369"> Taizo</a> still has his air pump from the original, which is used to pump up enemies till they explode. In addition to the pump Taizo also has a new weapon, a drill. The drill is used on holes in the ground to cause part of the island to crumble and fall in the water, this causes enemies that are on the part of the island that crumbled to fall into the water killing them.</p>
