No games on vita and 3ds.
Puyo Puro x Tetris not coming to US because of shitty ubisoft remake.
Critter crunch was the last best game.
Is this a dead genre?
kid's don't play puzzle games anymore
Its mostly just single player stuff now.
Puzzle&Dragon on 3DS, Lumines on Vita.
Genre is definitely struggling. Its a shame.
Critter crunch was the shit.
I just want 3D Classics Puyo Puyo to come over here at this point. Seems like a reasonable assumption.
>>318019701
yes, playing co-op survival with a buddy was pure insanity
>>318019780
Puyo puyo is one of those games that is really satisfying, but nobody ever takes the time to learn. So under appreciated in the west.

I want this game so badly for the 3DS, but it's expensive as hell.

So what? Buy it on Vita anyways.
>>318018316
what is that in OP pic? Is that a legit new Megaman puzzle game?
>>318023853
>New

Damn, not to mention it never got a U.S. release

What exactly makes this different than a race against time? Garbage blocks?My favorite is Kirby's Avalanche, though.

>Puyo Puyo Tetris not coming to the states because Ubisoft is a douchebag
It still hurts.
>>318024879
The funny thing about Puyo Puyo Tetris is that people bought it as a Tetris game or as a Puyo game, but not because of both of those things coming together. It's kind of a good thing though because the cross versus mode is terrible, but the swap mode is pretty fun if both players are decent at both games, but that requires you to be good at two games that have fairly high skill ceilings.
>>318024942
The PS3/PS4/Xbone versions are region free. You might wanna check them out.
>>318025029
>but not because of both of those things coming together.
But I did. I hoped to rake in more Puyo players by easing in the Tetris aspect, since everyone knows Tetris but no one knows Puyo.
It failed immensely.
Swap mode is still the absolute tits and I love it.
How come a genre so rife with competitive gameplay be so dead in the west?
Hell, Red Bull Japan hosts vidya tourneys and Puyo is there every single year.
>>318025262
How can anybody actually have an issue with puyo pop?
It pretty much has no entry barrier. The rules are as simple as they get.
Shit only hits the fan if you play against people that are much better than you are, but thats just the nature of competition.
>>318025494
apparently doing more than 3 chains is hard for people.
I personally do 7 or 8 chains on average, which is the meta's standard.
>>318025064
>>318025434
Draco and S are best girls. It's impossible to choose only 1!
>>318025029
I bought it for both...
>>318025624
Yeah but thats a different thing.
Building chains is a skill that comes through playing a lot and learning patterns and shit.
If you play against absolute beginners you should definitely hold back, or let them play against each other.
>>318025809
I only do tiny (no more than 4) chains on beginners sparingly, and even then...
>>318025761
there is only one correct answer and it's pic related
>>318024879
>I will forever need only that "win a single unranked game online" trophy
>the only people who ever play it in the first place are the top-level best of the best players, multiple T-spins and tetrises in a row within seconds
It's fine, I don't need that Platinum...
>Ordered the puyo v Tetris new lower price addition
Hope it arrives soon
>>318025929
when trying to get new players in I usually stick to 2-3 chains occasionally then like every 5 minutes one bigger chain to give them a taste of the fear of an avalanche
>>318025929
How can a fellow Draco lover be so cruel to poor S-chan?
>>318025624
I generally have a 3-4 average. 5 or 6 on a good day.
I like puzzle games but I am not fond of the competitive ones, I'd rather there be an option for endurance runs instead of trash throwing to the other side, then it can be about skill in the normal game and not just who can throw combos at each other fastest
>>318025434
Puzzle games are marketed to casuals, all the comp-fags in the west think they are for kids and old people. "Where are the guns? How do you beat the other guy up? What the hell is a 'brain'? I'll just stick to LoL lol!"
>>318026225
but the skill in the normal game perfectly translates to the competitive mode in most cases.
>Puyo Puyo
Countering garbage
>Panel de Pon
Garbage helps as means to counterattack (and apply pressure)
>Magical Drop
More pieces to work with/die with
>Super Puzzle Fighter II
Countering works, and the garbage blocks eventually become standard blocks
It's still skill, anon.
>>318026457
It's different skill though, I'd just like a straight endurance mode where its who can last the longest and instead of trash throwing it just increases the difficulty for both players
>>318026681
so... an endless battle to wait it out until someone gives up? Assuming both players go toe to toe in terms of skill and always end up in the same difficulty range.
>>318026681
>who can last the longest
But at that point it becomes "who can make the biggest combos/chains the fastest", which is what you said you don't want.
>>318024879
Tetrmix mode is pretty bad.
The only good mode is swap.
>>318026778
Well I'm not saying to exclude other modes, just to have that as an option too would be nice
>>318026882
>tetmix is bad
I notice that the only people who say this dumb shit are people who are bad at it.
>>318018316
nintendo has been releasing a shit ton of these for 3ds
>>318027025
He said swap was good so I assume he means puyo vs tetris is bad, and he's right, that mode is shit.
>>318027025
It takes less skill than regular puyo puyo and tetris because of how chains work in that mode. you can literally just pop a bunch of 1 chains and make a 10+ chain.
>>318027037
Care to name a few Nintendo-made puzzle games on the 3ds? A shoddy version of Dr Mario and... What else?
>>318027232
And your opponent can do the same. It's a fight to constantly clear things.
>>318026120
because S is a prick to everyone else around her.
>>318027223
>puyo vs tetris is bad
It's the only mode anyone actually plays, though. you choose the game you prefer and play it against your friends. If you like both, you can choose either. Swap is great, sure, but I'm not sure what makes you think vs is bad in a vs game.
>>318027417But so is Draco...
>>318027503
Actually tetris is pretty overpowered against puyo puyo.
how can people not like tetmix mode?
>b-b-but chains are easier to make
yeah but the screen is a lot bigger and allows for far bigger chains, the point is to be making far bigger chains than you normally would
>>318027576
not to her and a couple of others
>>318027718
Only barely, and at actual high-level play, they're even. You should be making 7-8 chains in the time it takes tetris players to set up back to back tetris combos.
>>318027806
Aiming to do actual tetris' is actually the worst way to play tetris in that game when you are playing against puyo. Leaving a 2 space gap is the most optimal way of just getting a full attack bar.
>>318027806
>and at actual high-level play, they're even
No they most certainly are not. Tetris destroys Puyo easily because:
A) Tetris does not need to build a combo
B) Tetris is not hurt by junk, junk becomes ammunition immediately
C) Tetris can do chains
D) T-Spins, one of the easiest and quickest things to set up, give as much of a score/chain multiplier as a tetris does

>>318028314
You realize those videos are all the same two people, right? The Puyo player is clearly just outmatched.
>>318018316
Puyo Puyo X Tetris is not coming outside Japan because Sega believes Puyo Puyo is too japanese for western customers. And here is what we got instead of Puyo Puyo Quest:
http://segabits.com/blog/2015/08/18/segas-new-mobile-game-cranky-food-friends-gets-soft-launch/
They could at least make a more interest re-skin. Like with Sonic characters. But nooooooo: let's put generic cartoonish food characters.
>>318028541
>The Puyo player is clearly just outmatched
>one of the gods of Japanese Puyo is just outmatched, that's the problem
Yeah okay bud.
>>318028314
>B) Tetris is not hurt by junk, junk becomes ammunition immediately
This is the only issue. The rest is balanced out fine.
>>318018316
>No games on vita and 3ds.
>Puzzle&Dragons Z & Puzzle&Dragons: Super Mario Bros Edition exists
>>318028637
They didn't even have quickdrop turned on, tough guy.
>>318028812
Quick drop isn't in tsu rule dumb dumb
>>318028909
But it's in Puyo Tetris. You just turn it on.
>>318018316
Is there any cheap place to buy the 3DS version of Puyo Puyo x Tetris?
>>318023687
they recently released "special price" version. 25-30$

Thanks Anons!
I don't even know about this version, I'm going to buy it right now.
Is there any difference between this version and the original?
>>318028752
Not really the same thing. P&D is turn based, single player, you're doing direct damage instead of messing up the opponent's playing field, and the opponents don't play by the same rules as you and instead just attack after x number of turns.
>>318029663
Its cheaper.
It is literally the "Greatest Hits" or "Player's Choice" version.
The box art might look dumber I guess.

>Puzzle Bobble game was released for 3DS

Is this a joke?
There's nothing like Super Puzzle Fighter II.
>>318030252
You forgot they tried to sell it for full price. No idea how they went from Space Bust A Move on DS to that.
>>318031119
Ι wouldn't buy that even for 20 dollars. It would have better luck as a 10 dollars digital release.
>>318026681
Might as well not play against others then because this is pretty much just high score wank at that point.
This is a great thread. I'd been on the fence about getting the Puyo/Tetris crossover game. If it's actually as good as it looks, done deal.
