Puyo Puyo Tetris (InstanceTopic, 17)
From Compile Worlds
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
- Arle Nadja and Carbuncle
- Rulue
- Suketoudara
- Amitie
- Raffine
- Ringo Andou
- Maguro Sasaki(? Appears in the Shop tab)
- Risukuma(? Appears in the Shop tab)
- T
- S (Formerly known as Broccoli-tan)
- I (Formerly known as Risukuma 2.0)
- O the Tetrimuncle
Initially, T, S, and I were revealed as tantalizing silhouettes, and until November 24th, 2013 they haden'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.
...in before no Lagnus or Seriri. ;-;
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 center of the screen, which explodes after some time.
- Party: The players compete for score and can use items in battle.
- PuyoTetMix: The Puyo and Tetris gameplay is literally mixed, and both Puyo and Tetris pieces are at your disposal. Dropsets appear in this mode for Puyo pieces.
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 Maguro and Risukuma can be bought)
- A "Puzzle League" tab containing game modes such as endless Fever, Mini Puyo, Marathon, 40 Lines, and others.
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.
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 Z/S block, I is based on the I block, and O is based on the O block. Yet to be seen is a character representing the L/J 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.
