Puyo Puyo Tetris, stylized on the logo as Puyopuyo Tetris is the newly-announced game in the Puyo series, combining Puyo Puyo gameplay with Tetris (and Rider's head boobs). It will be released on February 6, 2014.

Confirmed characters

Initially, T, S, and I were revealed as tantalizing silhouettes, and until November 24th, 2013 they hadn't given us a glimpse at them. To celebrate, SEGA is also releasing an "Arle Ver. 4" card for Puyo Puyo Quest! (...not that you care)

On December 12th, 2013, SEGA announced that Raffine, Rulue, and Suketoudara would return as Legacy Characters. Not very surprising, to say the least.

On December 18th, 2013, Maguro appeared in gameplay during the brief segment for Puyo Puyo Tetris during the Japanese Nintendo Direct broadcast. Additionally, two new twin girl characters were revealed in the same gameplay footage, battling Maguro. Though their color scheme and nature as twins foreshadowed this, they were revealed to be J and L... which means L is not the boss. :(

Only a day after that, and nearly 24 hours before Puyo Tetris was scheduled to appear on the Jump Festa floor, Maguro and Risukuma were confirmed by news sites to be playable and had their official artwork revealed. However, the identities of the Twins (accidentally?) revealed in the Nintendo Direct were not revealed.

On December 20th, 2013, two tweets regarding Jump Festa revealed that Klug was going to return, as well as confirming the last of the Tetris characters. The Twins are L and J, and there is also Z, a giant robot. Thus, all 7 Tetris characters have been revealed!

On December 21st, 2013, the entire character select screen was leaked. There are 24 characters in total, and Sig was confirmed to be among them. Silhouettes of eight others can be seen, but it is not yet clear who they are.

On January 9th, 2014, Witch and Draco were confirmed, with another set of characters set to appear on January 16th. Just before the 16th's reveal, however, Famitsu revealed Schezo Wegey and Ecolo on January, 15th. On the 16th, the official website updated with profiles for Schezo, J & L, and Z.

...in before no Lagnus or Seriri. ;-; (It's looking less likely by the day... D:)

Play modes

  • TSU rules
  • Tetris rules
  • Versus: One player plays Puyo Puyo (by TSU rules), and the other combats them playing Tetris.
  • Swap: Every 24 seconds, the players swap between a Puyo Puyo and a Tetris field, even if they're still in the middle of dropping a piece. If a chain starts when the board flips, the damage carries over into the other field when the chain ends, and the player can create "Mix Chains" if they clear in their Puyo and Tetris boards at the same time.
  • Big Bang: Similar to Versus, except the Puyo player is in Fever mode and the Tetris player has "Lucky Attack". Nuisance is sucked into a Black Hole in the playing field. If there is too much, it explodes and that player loses.
  • Party: Similar to Versus mode, but items fall into the playing field, and the one and two blocks from PuyoTetMix are available to Tetris players. Items trigger annoying effects on the other players similar to the Slot Mode in 20th, with some of the effects echoing legacy 15th gimmick modes.
  • PuyoTetMix: The Puyo and Tetris gameplay is literally mixed, and both Puyo and Tetris pieces are at your disposal. Tetris pieces appear as part of character dropsets, and all Tetris pieces sink to the bottom. (Underwater mode, anyone?) Additionally, each character's dropset contains a piece that constantly flips between a Puyo formation and a Tetris piece, and also two new Tetris blocks that are only 1x1 and 1x2.

Other confirmed features

  • A story mode involving the Spaceship Teto and its crew, possibly called Adventure Mode, now with 10 stages per character instead of 8.
  • An awesome remix of Theme of Puyo Puyo, as well as a remix of the classic Korobeiniki music that made Tetris famous!
  • The return of Shopoi, possibly meaning that extra characters, costumes, and alternate voices can once again be purchased. (or at least confirming Risukuma can be bought)
  • A "Puzzle League" tab containing the records of the endless game modes. The endless game modes include Endless Puyo Puyo, Endless Mini Puyo, and Endless Fever for Puyo Puyo, and Marathon, 40 Lines, and Ultra for Tetris.

Tokyo Game Show Keynote

During the Tokyo Game Show in September, the producer of Puyo Puyo burned himself on death curry and demonstrated how Witch and Rulue's voice actresses were not very good at the game publicly... yeah, that's about it. They also showed that SEGA was lazy and had recycled voice clips, and encouraged everyone to get Lagnus and Black Popoi cards on Puyo Quest. Also some arcade version of 20th or some crap like that.

While it wasn't part of SEGA's stream, kumachom and kamestry were invited to play VS rule at TGS. It was shown that anyone who is garbage at Tetris will not get very far against someone who is god at Puyo, kumachom himself included. (Poor kumachom)

Trivia

  • All of the new characters introduced in the game so far are based on the tetrominoes. T is based on the T block, S is based on the S block, I is based on the I block, O is based on the O block, J and L are twins based on the J/L block, and Z is based on the Z block.
    • This is the first time that SEGA has introduced a trio of new characters without following the ARS formula for naming them, besides S herself.
