Why YOU should be interested in Puyo Puyo Tetris

I’m sure by now you have heard of Sonic Team’s Puyo Puyo Tetris crossover game. I’m not going to give any long-winded lectures about why you should get this game. I’m only going to give you a few facts from the Japanese site along with videos that I hope will get you interested in the game if you weren’t interested before. There are some really cool looking modes and I wanted to spread awareness.

Update: We’ve been informed by @STORMKAMI that a demo went up on the JP PSN store yesterday. If you want to, try out the demo and let us know what you think in the comments.

VS Mode

Versus mode is basically a basic versus mode. Each player chooses whether they want to play Puyo Puyo or Tetris. The choice is yours. It’s a pretty standard mode but a necessity at the same time.

Mix Mode

Mix mode is when things start to get interesting. It’s another VS mode, but with a twist. You have to deal with pieces from both Puyo Puyo and Tetris on the same field. Me explaining it won’t make things any clearer, watch the video and see for yourself. It will look confusing at first, but after a while you will see why it’s awesome.

Swap Mode

If you get bored easily and like chaos, than this is the mode for you. This mode is a VS mode that alternates between Puyo Puyo and Tetris boards every 25 seconds.

Party Mode

Party mode is a mode that breaks away from traditional Puyo Puyo Tetris gameplay by making items a core part of the gameplay. People who are a fan of party games will probably appreciate this mode. Watch the video to see how the gameplay works.

Big Bang Mode

Big Bang Mode is non-stop bonus mode. Fever mode for Puyo Puyo and Lucky Attack mode for Tetris.

Single Player Modes

You can of course play any of the versus modes by yourself with a CPU if you don’t have anyone to play with, but Puyo Puyo Tetris also has some dedicated single-player modes. I apologize for the horrible descriptions in advance, Google translate has failed me.

• Tokotonpu Puyo
  Looks to be a score attack mode with no time limit.
• Fever Thoroughly
  Something to do with fever mode.
• Tokotonchibi Puyo
  Wider playing field mode.
• Marathon Tetris
  Score attack mode with no time limit.
• 40 Line Tetris
  Remove 40 lines quickly as possible!
• Ultra Tetris
  Get high of a score as you can within 3 minutes.

You want this game now, right?

Puyo Puyo Tetris comes out Feb 6th in Japan for 3DS, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, and Wii u. As of now there is no plans for this game to come west and don’t get your hopes up. A Puyo Puyo game hasn’t made it west in ages. You’d think since it involves Tetris SEGA West would want to release it, but nope. Maybe they will change their minds in the future, I mean they did release Hatsune Miku Project Diva F.

If you really want to play Puyo Puyo Tetris your best bet is to get your hands on a Japanese version of the game. That means you would need to get the game on a PlayStation platform unless you are skilled at hacking or own Japanese Nintendo hardware. Please Understand.
