Anyone planning on getting this?

I'm planning on getting it day 1. Been playing the demo on and off. I'm not a pro or anything at the game though, in fact I'm bad at both Puyo and Tetris. I'm looking forward to playing endless mode so I can practice building chains. It is hard to think things through when competing against a computer and not really sure what you are doing.

I pre-ordered the Switch version but I still don't have the system yet (still saving up).
So I wouldn't have been able to play it for some uncertain time.

I'm planning on getting it day 1. Been playing the demo on and off. I'm not a pro or anything at the game though, in fact I'm bad at both Puyo and Tetris. I'm looking forward to playing endless mode so I can practice building chains. It is hard to think things through when competing against a computer and not really sure what you are doing.

The demo seems to be really fun from what i heard. What im liking a lot after seeing some footage is how many options, features and modes there are.

Yes, there is a lot of modes.

Starting playing adventure mode made me realize I need to master t-spins if i want to get 3 stars on even the early challenges. so I'm playing big bang mode right now a lot to try and practice t-spins. it seems like t-spins are easier with some blocks and harder with others

SEGA Heroes was a great success,
$7 million from 4.1 million installs in sixteen months


(https://s12.directupload.net/images/200915/n7j3rmb5.jpg)

Quote
Next to Sonic Dash, Sega Heroes' puzzle RPG quest adventure seemed to be the closest the brand has gone to embracing the traditional mobile structure.
$7 million from 4.1 million installs in sixteen months was a great success,
yet the ending of its partnership with Demiurge stopped the game in its tracks much earlier than anticipated.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHOWToD7wuE

Quote
"The production was around eight months in total, so relatively short.
We already had the heart of the game design, concept art, and a tech demo which reduced risk and helped us to hit the ground running.
The core team was made up of approximately 15 people however we pulled in additional support to help out with UI and art, which made the team almost double in size at the peak of production."

Apple Arcade gave us an opportunity to release two titles on a new service at launch, which is something we'd never done before.
We're really happy with the success of both games (ChuChu Rocket Universe and Sonic Racing for Apple Arcade).
It won't be a surprise for you to learn that Sonic has outperformed ChuChu Rocket - the movie definitely helped with our marketing!

SEGA GBA games totally worth playing : ChuChu Rocket!

(http://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/chuchurocketgba.jpg)

Quote
Even though its on a smart cartridge, doesn’t mean this game has less content than its Dreamcast big brother.
This game actually features the 150 puzzles found in the original game. 
Not only that, it had 2,500 user submitted puzzle levels from the online service.
The level editor included allowed users to make 4 player puzzles and of course allowed users to play the game with up to 3 more Gameboys.
Pretty damn solid release for a GBA port!

SEGA Game Gear Micro Hardware Review – Bite-Sized Nostalgia

(http://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/GGM-Black.jpg)

Quote
The original BLACK is the most plain yet iconic of the four and the included games reflect that classic feel. Included are Sonic The Hedgehog, Puyo Puyo 2, OutRun and Royal Stone.
The game selection covers a variety of genres and represent some of the handheld’s best titles. These games are also the most english-friendly, with only the RPG Royal Stone presenting a language barrier. 
If one was only interested in importing one Game Gear Micro, I would say black is the way to go. Solid game selection and an iconic color.

Trivia : Tetris Creator Alexey Pajitnov said Puyo Puyo is "the only game" that could possibly be paired with Tetris.

(https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4il4v2UGqG0/VfTL74Eh1FI/AAAAAAAAAJQ/fUJFsaCKYpw/s1600/Pajutnov.jpg)

Quote
Pajitnov even reflected on how he created the puzzle mode in the original Puyo Puyo game:
"I designed the puzzle mode—the small tasks, like when you need to clear the field in a couple of moves or something like that. But it was so long ago "

Deep dive on Puyo Puyo Tetris 2’s new Skill Battle mode

(https://64.media.tumblr.com/6e3beff2aeeac1a345140971ca3f95d1/tumblr_oq9uvkeyvx1tx6aapo4_500.jpg)

One of the big new additions to Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 over the previous entry is the addition of Skill Battle mode.
Skill Battle lets players form a team of three characters from the fantastical worlds of Puyo Puyo and Tetris.
Each of these characters brings their own skillset to each match, so the key here is to assemble the right team with the right mix of skills and their effects to maximize your odds of victory.

SEGA leaves Japanese arcade management business

(https://thumbs.gfycat.com/GiganticScaredIndri-small.gif)

Quote
SEGA has basically, mostly, sold off its Arcade arcade business to GENDA, a company founded in 2018 to operate arcade rentals, online crane games.
I know its mostly a Japanese thing, but SEGA’s arcade business has been part of its history almost since the start and having them sell off 85% of the shares on the companies 60th Anniversary is a bit bitter.

Dominon (and Dominon X) : The Game that Became Puyo Puyo

Quote
Dominon and Dominon X remained unknown until Niitani found them kicking around in storage and decided to share them with the world.
In announcing their imminent release, he's been careful to note that they're being presented as-is, incomplete and with no attempt made to fix any bugs that might be lurking in the code.
Dominon wasn't ready for prime time in 1990, and it hasn't gotten any closer in the last twenty-five years.

How SEGA Adapts to Covid-19 Pandemic

I think SEGA pulling 85% out of a business like Amusement Centers is a good thing, while they profited for awhile, that profit had been up and down. Never stable and it continued to shrink.
SEGA pushing more developers and workers into making software titles, especially since they are on the rise in sales and due to COVID-19 a lot more people are playing video games at home; it makes sense to adapt.

Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 (Switch) Hands-on Preview

Quote
The biggest new addition is Skill Battles.
You pick a team of three and make use of MP to use special abilities that do things like clear junk tiles from your screen, up your defense, or heal your health.
These battles end when one team knocks out the HP of the other one.
You actually don’t die when your screen fills up, which is weird and against what I’ve learned in puzzle games.

Flash Columns is a mode in Columns Crown (GBA) where player (Ruby/Jade) must clear preset jewels to reach and destroy one or more jewels with a white outline before progressing forward.
Flash Columns can range from hellishly difficult to ridiculously easy, just by going from a normal stage to a Challenging Stage.
For evidence, the very first Challenging Stage can be cleared without the player even pressing any buttons.

The “Skill Battle” is not the same as in Puyo Puyo Chronicle, but rather a reworked version of it.
Based on the current Tetris and Puyo Puyo game system regulations, we have been working on this game while simultaneously adjusting the balance between Puyo Puyo and Tetris.
After 35 years of Tetris and 29 years of Puyo Puyo, I feel that the game’s playing skills have improved a lot.

"SEGA approached us in 2012 to present the idea of the 'mash-up' and many within our Company were already familiar with Puyo Puyo and fans of the brand.
Having an opportunity to collaborate with SEGA and their talented development team made the decision an easy one, so plans were put in place to launch Puyo Puyo Tetris in Japan early in 2014 on handheld and console platforms.
Several years later, the game was introduced to other parts of the world."

Aesthetically, PPT2 is so far looking to be a more polished version of the original.
All of the animations have been redone, a few new styles of graphics are experimented with, and you’re less likely to see the same attack animations in-game as before.
There’s something almost universally charming about modern Puyo Puyo’s art style that I adore.

Sega Entertainment Replaces Arcade's Legacy Systems with Infor ERP

(http://segabits.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/columns.png)

Quote
These legacy systems lack scalability, making them an increasing encumbrance to operational improvements. Its arcade operations, in particular, was dominated by analog workflows dependent on individual skills, and arcade managers were constantly overwhelmed with paper-based bookkeeping.
Sega Entertainment chose Infor LN, Infor's ERP solution for manufacturing, for its tremendous versatility, as well as the availability of all functions required to improve its operations and launch new businesses, and on the strength of Hitachi's proposal.

I was kinda hoping after Puyo Puyo™ Tetris® that Sega may consider other spin-off crossovers with puzzle games, and I had hope Columns would be it.

But honestly, I dunno if I could trust Sega with putting a story to Columns. Don't get me wrong I would love their to be a Columns IV or a Columns reboot, especially if given characters and story just like modern Puyo Puyo games... but it depends what they will have in mind for such story and characters.
The little-known "backstory" of Columns is that  is regarded as a Phoenician game played by merchants. Phoenicia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenicia) being a civilisation during Ancient Greek times, they were known for their navy, their charismatic merchants and for establishing a sort of "empire" through good trade business over military. This is why Columns I was sort of Greco-Roman in theme and Columns III be Egyptian because Greece, Rome and Egypt were all part of Phoenicia's empire of trade routes across the Mediterranean sea.
To simply put, I don't want Sega to give up Columns Phoenician/Greco-Roman theme in favour of knocking off Puyo Puyo characters and themes (which they attempted to do so for such games as Columns Crown and Columns Jewel tried to do the very same with colourful fantasy forest-lands and ditzy marketable modern teen girl etc.)
Heck, I never even heard of Phoenicia until Columns introduced me to it! I've heard of the Punics from the Punic Wars but I did not know they were descendants of the Phoenicians.

I know when it comes to the "theme" of Tetris there's not much to it given it's about stacking blocks so Sega took liberties to apply a "theme" to it that will fit with Puyo-lore. Thus introducing it as a game from "Planet Tetris" and that it's introduce from the crew of the SS Tetra.
But way I see it it while Tetris is an international game it is still somewhat cultural to Soviet Russia due to it being promoted as "The Soviet Challenge" and sometimes depicted with the Space Race or the Saint Basil's Cathedral. While this was done more for promotional reasons than cultural I still regard Tetris for it's Russian roots.
Just saying if I scripted PPT, I would keep it mostly the same as it is now, the only difference being the star ship SS Tetra be made in Russia, a country located on Ringo's world (Puyo Puyo 7 proves places like UK, Egypt, Easter Island exist on Ringo's world so perhaps other countries exist there as well). It would fit in with the "Space Race" theme of a group of Russians wishing to pioneer Space.

My concern is if Sega ever decided to reboot and give Columns a story, whenever independent or crossover with Puyo Puyo, I just don't want Sega to throw out the Phoenician angle and have some "Planet Columns" where everyone simply look like all the other colourful characters but with gemstones instead of puyo accessories. Things like that.
If Puyo Puyo™ Tetris® is a story about visitors from space, why not Puyo Puyo™ Columns be about visitors from another time? (Which would make sense given "Columns II: The Voyage Through Time" had something to do with time travel.) I just don't want them to give up COlumns ancient antiquity theme.

That's some deep knowledge about Columns, Mystic Monkey, I'm impressed.  :))
Any corelation between Phoenicia and Phoenix ? Does they worship Phoenix may be?

Columns does have heavier tone compared to Puyo Puyo or Tetris.
If Puyo Puyo or Tetris is more like Bejeweled in term of presentation,
Columns is more like Treasure of Montezuma or Jewel Master series.
I think it would be hard to make crossover between them without changing the tone of one of them.

I like Columns Crown, but I agree it changes the tone too much.
Super Columns (Game Gear) I guess is the only one could manage the story well using "Phoenicia" theme.

(https://segaretro.org/images/thumb/4/4e/SuperColumns_GG_JP_Box_Front.jpg/520px-SuperColumns_GG_JP_Box_Front.jpg)

Here's some JP Super Columns Trivia that's shared by Rouken on SMSPower forum :

Quote
Acording from the manual of the original Columns game for the Sega's home systems, it's said Columns is a game played by the merchants of Phoenicia, but the cited place is only used again in Super Colomns. Super Columns in the only Columns game to use a Story Mode around Phoenicia with dedicated characters (other Columns games uses other characters, like Sakura Wars, Tezuka characters, or original characters without any link with Phoenicia). Acording with the US manual (https://segaretro.org/images/d/d7/Supercolumns_gg_us_manual.pdf), there's a sacred amulet who brings peace to Phoenicia. But an evil merchant called Surhand steal the amulet to make all Phoenicia's citizens to do the evil merchant's biddings. Now the player must face Surhand to take the amulet back to its right place, but the player must face Surhand's minions first (Spoiler Alert: Surhand is a girl!!). The US manual don't list the oponent names aside Surhand's, but the japanese manual yes. As an informative purpose, I'll list the name of the characters in japanese (and my translation, but it can be a wrong translation... I'll accept corrections) in order you face them in the game: マハリド (Mahalid), カリラド・シン (Kalirad Shin), ザイダ (Zaida), ア・ブドゥー (A-Bdoo), スルハンド (Surhand). As my japanese knowledge is minimum to basic, I can't read the additional information about the characters, aside Zaida being a bodyguard, and if the character the player controls have a name, or if he is just an avatar.

Phoenician lore is fascinating, and honestly I would of never even heard of it if I didn't bother to read the back of Columns case in the 90s. It turns out they were an actual real-life semitic culture that existed across the Mediterranean in 2500–539 BC.
I dunno if they had anything to do with the phoenix, but the name derived from the expensive purple dye they used to make and sell throughout the Mediterranean. They practically established a trade empire throughout the Mediterranean Sea, an empire on par with an actual empire but mostly on business, trade and charisma than swords and conquering. Over time they became more known as the Punic from Carthage and ended up in a scuffle with Rome throughout the Punic Wars. Rome was victorious. The term "salted the Earth" came from the Romans destroying Carthage and scrubbing it of it's culture instead of implimenting it as it's own which Roman Empire would usually do.
While Columns I may appear Greco-Roman and Columns III may appear Egyptian, both Rome, Greece, Egypt and most countries around the Mediterranean Sea were part of the phoenician Empire. So it makes sense for Columns to be a "game played by merchants" because Phoenicia was known for it's merchants and it's navy.
This is why on one hand I would really love it if Sonic Team would decide to remake Columns in the same format as Puyo Puyo games, with interesting colourful characters and stories. Maybe going as far as tying-in with Ringo Ando's world given Columns riding on Puyo Puyo's tailcoat may do it some favour in the longrun.
But on the other hand I wouldn't want them to drop the Phoenician angle at all. While Tetris has become an international game, some regard it for it's Soviet Russian roots. PPT however thought it would be best to have a "Planet Tetris" and a "Spaceship Tetra" with a crew that speaks generic english, with no mentions or ties to Russia at all.It's sort of what happened in Columns Crown. Columns Crown (https://segaretro.org/Columns_Crown) appears to have the Puyo Puyo treatment with colourful characters and story, but at a cost of it looking almost too much like Puyo Puyo, such as a generic fantasy world of forests and magic etc.

I was hoping it would of been the start of a spin-off crossover series.

First Puyo Puyo vs Tetris
Then Puyo Puyo vs Columns
Then... actually, they're the only two tile-based puzzle games I know of. I dunno, Lumines? Dr. Mario? Eitherway it be interesting to see what other stacking puzzle games can blend with Puyo Puyo.

Some of my friends who have PPT, they bought because there is Tetris in it.
They don't really care about Puyo Puyo.
If they get rid Tetris from the crossover, most likely they won't be interested.

I myself prefer Tetris than Puyo Puyo, since I'm not that good at Puyo Puyo.
I might buy it because I loved Columns, but the last time I bough Puyo Puyo game (that's not crossover) was Mega Drive version.

I'm not that big on either Puyo or Tetris. But I would be quick to snap up "Puyo Puyo vs Columns" if there was ever a game. I'm rather "set in my ways" so to speak when it comes to stacking games and given Columns for the Mega Drive was the first stacking game I ever played it's why I wish the franchise had a more solid continuation.

And it's not like I entirely dislike Puyo Puyo. Sonic Mania got me to appreciate it more with Chemical Plant Zone boss.

Rumour said there will be 16 new characters (four for every update, we already got 8 now).
Since it's still enough for Puyo Puyo characters, probably other than Sonic, we'll just get Puyo Puyo characters.

I agree.
I want him too. Not just him but also Scratch and Grounder.

Just as himself would be enough. His design and sense of fashion would fit right in to the world of Puyo Puyo. And I can imagine Chemical Plant Zone being refurbished as his place where he studies the puyo.

I like the TV series because of the arcade game.
There is Sailor Moon beat em up Arcade game that was fun to play for two players at arcade center in my town.
I used to play it with my brother and could finish the game with only 1 coin for each of us (couldn't do it if I play alone).
I always use Sailor Venus and my brother always use Sailor Mars, never use other characters.
This is one game that I could not play with my best friend back then because both of us always want to play as Sailor Venus.

She was probably the earliest "waifu" I've ever had, decades before I even heard of the word. Though I didn't like her that much given I never watched the show. She was just how I imagined my dream girl at the time.

I think she's probably one of my earliest too since unlike now anime were still so rare on television.
Most cartoon were from Disney, Warner Bros, or Hanna Barbera.
I can't remember who's my first waifu, either Tyris Flare (Golden Axe) or Nei (Phantasy Star II).

I wouldn't mind collaboration, or any help at all. C# is my weakness with this project. I don't have twitter or dunno how to ask for help with it.
Though I'm worried since all I can do is be the idea guy and make rough models to put together, I'm concerned if I did get a team going I'd be regarded as the weak link. I've got this notion that the world wants do-ers, not thinkers. And I'm a thinker.

So anyways yes. I'm working on a Puyo Puyo fan game in Unity. A fan game that operates rather differently from the traditional one. I would like to finish it by October (30th Anniversary) but I doubt I'll have it finished by then.

At the moment I'm simply trying to get the gameplay to work in a beta state. Y'know, simply stacking puyo.

I don't really have a full fledge story in mind because honestly I would settle fo just a single Challenge Mode and leave it at that. A Versus Mode would also be nice. Do go as far as alternative or additional gamemodes like Fever or Sun modes.

A very-very rough story in mind is Sig as the protagonist due to his hetrochromia allowing him to stack puyo in a 3x3x8 cuboid playing area. However Arle, Amitite and Ringo are usually the reoccuring three so I might just stick to them or something. While the popping system of puyo is still the same (except puyo of the same colour forward and behind also count as a connect) the method of dropping puyo into the play area is entirely different. As in literally pick up the puyo and drop them in, like balled-up socks into the sock drawer.

To hardcore puyo fans this may seem like a radical change of playstyle different from traditional, but the point of it all is a proof of concept for a new puyo puyo gameplay fit for VR.

The Limited Run version of the SEGA Astro City Mini will only be limited to 3,500 units, which will probably make this version sought after in the collectors market compared to the regular Japanese version.

Even Column Jewel had various characters that Sena was pitted against. Some of them looked genuinely interesting... one of them being what I pressume a naked goddess that used her long hair for decency.

I don't mind if all these characters were put together for a revised Columns universe like Puyo Puyo had but I'd rather it not be Sena Ruby, Jade or Culet as main protagonist.

I wish I can pitch Sega my ideas for a Column universe that can co-exist with the Puyo Puyo franchise.

Noro (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noro_(priestess)) (I think)
Chinese noblewoman
Someone possibly inspired by Chang'e (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chang%27e), given the japanese bamboo, visable moon and the bunny she's holding.
Someone possibly inspired by Aphrodite (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aphrodite), given the greek-like background with the seashell and the fact she's naked.

The game looks decent, such a shame I never know that game was exist back then.
Yeah, from her pose when in battle mode, it's most likely Aphrodite.
If it's going the legendary character route, then the Egyptian girl could be Cleopatra.

Tip: How To Create An Absolute Chaos in Puyo Puyo Tetris

(https://i.ibb.co/q0mqB7Y/How-To-Create-An-Absolute-Chaos-in-Puyo-Puyo-Tetris.jpg)

Quote
A hot tip for you: Puyo Puyo Tetris is best played with four players, all of whom are playing the fried egg-shaped character, whose name is "O".
The voice lines in PPT are annoying at best, but Eggboy can only react to what's going on on-screen with a series of PI-PI-PI noises that creates absolute chaos if every single player has them.
You can even choose the alternate voice pack to have him be really angry all the time. Seriously, try it..

If I ever made a Columns reboot, I would have Surhand as the main villain. I have a Columns story in mind, as well as how it can tie in with the Puyo Puyo world.

Surhand as the main villain would definitely be cool.
May be she could join forces with Puyo Puyo Tetris villains too, but for villainy leadership, Surhan is likely more interesting to explore.

Surhand as the main villain would definitely be cool.
May be she could join forces with Puyo Puyo Tetris villains too, but for villainy leadership, Surhan is likely more interesting to explore.
Fan story I have in mind is set in the Classical-era (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_antiquity) of the Mediterranean sea (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediterranean_Sea). The main character a daughter of a phoenician merchant named Amethyst who was taught the game of Column from her father, who claims that the game of Columns is a game played by merchants for both entertainment and business decisions.

One day their ship was arrested and her father was brought to Queen Elissar (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dido) for stealing the Crown Jewels and was imprisoned. Amethyst found out that it was actually Surhand who stole the crown jewels and divided the jewels up amongst her henchmen who are now in capitals across the Phoenician Empire. Along the way she meets new friends, peculiar characters and Surhands lackies.

Characters in mind:
Amethyst = Phoenician daughter, has a sort of Scrooge McDuck complex given she wants to be a wealthy merchant someday.
Rubi = An arabian genie who grants a single wish to those who beat her at a Columns match. However her wishes are not always what the wisher desires.
Garnet
= African girl
Topaz =  An egyptian priestess who tends the pyramids. While she may seem rather broody she is actually a good-hearted person who will help others she deems worthy.
Esmerelda
= A gypsie girl who has traveled around Europe.
Sapphira = A greek girl, either from Corinth or the Cyclades.

Might change the names around but you get the idea. Amethyst' circle of friends are all named after gemstones that are coloured after the Column gems.
Other characters in mind in Herald, an angel/greek god of the game itself.

Puyo Puyo connection:
Puyo Puyo 7 (https://arleandcarbuncle.fandom.com/wiki/Puyo_Puyo_7) introduces a brand new "world" of the Puyo Puyo universe. This world being more based on our own world than the fantasy worlds that Arle Nadja and Amitie come from. The game stars Ringo Ando who attends a school at Suzuran district in Japan and her story starts with one day puyo falling from the skies. Given she was unfamiliar to them meaning her world never had puyo before.
The same game had her go on a world journey to places like  Easter Island, Area 51, Stonehenge, and Egypt (all conventiantly with railway accessable from Japan) which means Ringo's world is more like ours than Arle and Amitie's worlds.

If I were to do a "Puyo Puyo × Columns" story it would be one day Ringo took her friends to a local history museum in Tokyo and there they find a tablet written in phoenician and some mysterious gemstones. Arle could feel the magic from these gemstones is the same from puyo. Then a magic time portal opens up and they are cast into the past where Ringo meets Amethyst. Because Amethyst can only speak phoenician they could not understand each other and when they challenge one another to a game they find how different their games are. Afterwards the magic of the jewels and of the puyo allow Ringo and Amethyst to share a language.

While puyo were not present in Ringo's world prior to Puyo Puyo 7, after Arle's first Puyo Puyo × Columns match she realise that the magic from the gems that break is the same as the magic from the puyo that pop. (That is if the Owanimo (http://cw.nanako.moe/wiki/Owanimo) spell is still canon.) That is to say that while there was no puyo on Ringo's world in the past the same magic exist in the form of the gems used in Columns.

As for where orange gems fit in with Puyo Puyo × Columns matches I dunno, given there is no orange puyo equivilent. Maybe orange gems simply don't show up in PP×C matches, or maybe orange puyo are introduce.

That's all I thought of so far. I might make this game myself given I doubt Sega will ever be interested in a Puyo Puyo crossover other than Tetris... but I'm working on another Puyo Puyo fan game at the moment, and I won't post pictures on it until it takes more shape.

Wow... Your fan story is neat.
Even without Puyo Puyo connection, it's already interesting.
Characters named after Columns' gemstones really would make it more memorable than those Columns Crown characters.
I really wish SEGA ressurect Columns franchises.

Thanks. Other than six girls named after gems, there will be other characters in mind. Even cameos from more obscure Puyo Puyo characters such as the Mummy (https://arleandcarbuncle.fandom.com/wiki/Mummy) in Egypt or Zoh Daimaoh (https://arleandcarbuncle.fandom.com/wiki/Zoh_Daimaoh) in India.

If I ever get better at Unity I might make the game. I can imagine it a fresh new look in my mind eye.

However, I dunno if I should tweak the gameplay or not, such as make opponent crushing automated instead of at a push of the button.

If I were to make a Puyo Puyo × Columns there would be some needed tweaks to make it more compatible with one another. Such as whenever or not I should add an orange puyo or remove the orange gem.

But two thing I would definitely want to bring over from Puyo Pop would be special attacks after chaining gems and a good story mode with cute characters.

Puyo-Puyo has too manu cute characters.
Even the enemies are cute.
I'd prefer if there's more serious characters.

Cute characters make the game more appealing though, and I think it would be important to appeal to the Puyo-Puyo fanbase given that fan base take up the majority of Sega's puzzle-genre dynamic.

That's kinda make me little sad.
Puyo puyo's not even original SEGA franchise.
They got it from Compile.
But same thing happened with other genres too so it's understandable.
Project Diva in rhythm game, Football Manager in management sim, and Initial D in racing game.
Well at least there are stil three original SEGA franchise at the top :
Sonic, Phantasy Star, and Yakuza on platformer, RPG, and action adventure.

But I'm kind of right given the few attempts they tried to jumpstart the franchise in the past. Such as Columns Crown (https://segaretro.org/Columns_Crown), Sega Ages Columns (https://segaretro.org/Sega_Ages_2500_Series_Vol._7:_Columns) and Columns Jewel (https://segaretro.org/Columns_Jewel) being games that utilize colourful cutie artstyles akin to Puyo Puyo.

The only problem with those three examples is that while they had stories they weren't gripping stories. Mostly just protagonist encountering opponents for feeble reasons than a proper fleshed-out world or characters.

Columns Deluxe (https://segaretro.org/Columns_Deluxe) is the closest we ever got to a Columns Puyo Puyo crossover, further appealing Columns to the Puyo Puyo fanbase.

Maybe that's why we don't really have Columns anymore? Perhaps Sega hought "The Puyo Puyo fans aren't biting. Let's just give up Columns and concentrate on Puyo Puyo for now on." But I still believe Columns can work in todays audience if executed right.

Yeah Sega seems to lack confidence with their own IPs. I mean I sort of know why given what happened to Golden Axe: Beast Rider (https://goldenaxe.fandom.com/wiki/Golden_Axe:_Beast_Rider) and now they seem to be trusting their IPs with third-party developers. I mean I like that we got remakes of late but can we really entirely credit Sega other than they were likely asked by the third-party developers than them asking them.

I think it's because SEGA in-house studios were limited and each of them already has a project they are working on.
That's why they trusted old IPs to third party developers.
Even Sonic Colors Ultimate was trusted to third party developer (Blind Squirell Entertainment (https://blindsquirrelentertainment.com/)) since Sonic Team is busy with Sonic Rangers.

It's kinda sad Sega can't make their own games anymore... but at the same time at least we're getting canon sequels and remakes of old Sega games which is better than them doing nothing. I'd love to proove my worth to Sega someday and make a fan game they will respond positively too.

I hope so to. Or the very least find a small group that's willing to help me with the technical stuff I'm struggling with.

It's a VR Puyo Puyo fan game. Instead of a 6x12 2D playing area, you have a 3x3x8 3D playing area that you can rotate, all the while still same number of spaces for puyo to land on. Instead of an automated slow decent you simply pick up puyo and drop them into the playing area where they will automatically down-drop. Connecting four puyo is still the aim of the game only this time forward and behind are just as viable connecting areas as up, down, left and right.

I wanted to make a working demo before the Puyo Puyo 30th anniversary which I thought was this September but turbs out it was back on March... not that it matters given it's been two years or so and still haven't reached alpha-testing.

Yes, it's published in 1999 when SEGA wasn't considering Nintendo as their rival anymore.
They set their eye on Sony and their Playstation 2.
That year SEGA also made Sonic Pocket Adventure for Neo Geo Pocket.

Nintendo always welcomed anyone on their handheld.
Sony also even welcomed SEGA in their Playstation 1 back then.

(https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/616GYD6A46L._AC_.jpg)

As long as the game's good, who the publisher is doesn't matter.
The decision is in publisher, whether they want to put the game on their rival console or not.
SEGA also let their franchise ported on PC / Amiga / Commodore / PC Engine too back then.

And we know PC Engine was also SEGA's rival.

Understandable. Many things we finally catch up years later because of internet.
Before internet back then, I always curious why Street Fighter II games for Mega Drive / SNES were suddenly dissapeared in my country.
Years later I found out in the internet that turned out many games stores was warned by some agents of government.
They said the game was deemed forbidden.
The reason was turned out because of Zangief's stage.

Besides we;ve been around for a few decades, we've seen such sites pop up and snowball in trend. If Facebook can be a passing trend when will Twitter? It's an endless cycle of push and pull.

But given how popular Twitter has become, sooner or later Microsoft and Google will buy out Twitter and then they will make Windows and Google accounts double as Twitter accounts. So even if I oppose Twitter sooner or later it will be mandatory for most internet users.

Quote
—Before release, the character positions were overhauled quite substantially, why’s that?

Morita: One of our female colleagues requested that we place a female character on each floor (laughs). That way, you can potentially climb to the top floor of the tower by only battling female opponents. That being the case, we figured we ought to put a merchant on every floor as well, and so the roster saw lots of alterations along those lines.

Puyo Puyo Tsuu is a puzzle game developed by Compile in 1994, initially released for Sega's System C-2 arcade board before being ported to other consoles (such as the Sega Mega Drive, Sega Game Gear, and Sega Saturn).
It is the sequel to the Sega/Compile version of Puyo Puyo, whose path the entire series has followed to date.
The standalone game was exclusively released in Japan until 2000, when Sega ported it to the Neo Geo Pocket Color under the name Puyo Pop in the US/Europe (unrelated to the GBA Puyo Pop) — making it the first Puyo Puyo game to be released outside Japan unaltered (and establishing the Puyo Puyo/Puyo Pop naming discretion still used today).

Happy Lunar New Year!

This is Koha-D, the Representative of SEGA Arcade Music Game Team.
As the New Year has begun, I'd like to wish you a happy lunar new year and comment on two SEGA music games.

🔸 maimai DX International ver.

It’s been 2 years since the maimai DX International ver. started operation, which new version (UNiVERSE) released on January 27. Despite the fact that there are times and areas where stores cannot operate due to the effects of COVID 19, we have been able to achieve a high operation rate, thanks to everyone's enthusiasm.
Thank you very much for your support!
For various reasons, the music, collaborations, and several others have been delayed from the Japanese version, but we are still thinking of some surprises for you, so we would be grateful for your continued support.

🔸 CHUNITHM International ver.

Since CHUNITHM started its operation from the end of 2020, we've received a lot of feedback and we've changed our plans drastically from the original plan, adding songs at a rapid pace to bring it closer to the Japanese version.
Thank you for your support here as well as in maimai DX!
We are now in the final adjustment stage of the version-up to "NEW", which we reported at the end of last year, and we are preparing to provide it with some plans to activate the local player’s community.
For a variety of reasons, it is going to be difficult to make it exactly the same as the Japanese version, but we are working with the people in charge to make it as pleasing to everyone as possible.
We will be making an announcement on the specifics soon, so please look forward to it!

🔹 Lastly, due to the impact of COVID19, it has been difficult to enjoy arcade music games in both Japan and overseas.
I can only express my gratitude to all of you who continue to play our games even under such circumstances.
In order to respond to such enthusiasm, we, the development team, will continue to do our best to provide the best service possible. We would be grateful for your continued support.

We hope you'll continue enjoy maimai DX and CHUNITHM in 2022!

An anime about giant robots piloted by a guy with crippling depression and daddy issues is the last thing I'd imagine a crossover with Puyo Puyo.

May be they're trying to cheer him up?
But look at his face.
Shinji still looks depressed despite being thrown into the cheerful world of Puyo Puyo.

I've only seen a few Season 1 episodes of Evangelion and I'm not surprised why it would take more than blob-stacking to cheer him up. He'll probably have to play gigantic puyo puyo matches in his mech while his father berates him on his stacking skills.

Puyo puyo is a stressful game indeed, no wonder Shinji isn't happy.

Still if having a giant robot to pilot and variety type of girls to be friend with couldn't cheer him up, nothing ever will.

Quote
Jujutsu Kaisen is a best-selling manga series of all time that has been adapted into 24-episode anime television series from October 2020 to March 2021
In Jujutsu Kaisen, all living beings emanate an energy called Cursed Energy, which arises from negative emotions that naturally flow throughout the body.
Normal people cannot control this flow in their bodies. As a result, they continually lose Cursed Energy, resulting in the birth of Curses, a race of spiritual beings whose primary desire is to bring harm to humanity.
These curses are shown as gruesome monsters.
Jujutsu Sorcerers are people who control the flow of Cursed Energy in their bodies, allowing them to use it as they please and also to reduce its release.

Chu Chu Rocket was an experimental online game while keeping costs as low as possible

Q : How long did you spend working on the game, and how many people were involved?

Naka: I can speak for the entire game industry when I say that nowadays, game development often takes too long and requires a huge number of people and in many cases, games can't turn a profit in spite of all the resources that went into making them. With Chu Chu Rocket, I decided to pursue an experimental title while keeping costs as low as possible. The development period was around 4 months and, roughly speaking, the core game was built in around one-and-a-half months, with the rest of the development period spent polishing up the network functionality and making small balance tweaks.

The size of the development team was in the range of 10 people; during the final stages of development on Sonic Adventure, staff among Sonic Team gradually started to understand the need to work on something smaller and more immediate, and so when the idea for Chu Chu Rocket was proposed, we decided to go ahead and make it.

The game was very easy to make because everyone shared an identical understanding of the game, and spontaneous, "what if we tried this…?"-type ideas could be immediately tried and adopted on the spot. Take the puzzle mode, for instance: at first, we were only thinking of the game in terms of the four-player online battle mode, but when we started thinking of how to utilize the arrow system in order to solve puzzles, it turned out to have quite a lot of depth.

I'll always regard Tetris a russian-themed game.

If we ever get a Tetris movie (and I'm not talking about the upcoming biographical film (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetris_(film)), like a fictional adaption of it),  Ithink it should take place in Russia.

Yes, me too, that's why my favorite version is Tengen Tetris (NES) / Atari Tetris (Arcade),
all game themes are from Russian folk songs.

SEGA’s data analytics for mobile gaming now faster than Sonic

(https://i.ibb.co/pww5Hsb/Sega-Mobile-Games-2.png)

Quote
According to Masaki Takeuchi, Section Manager of Business & Data Analysis Section, Business Planning Department, Game Contents & Service Business Division at SEGA, mobile gaming analysts are now free from the routine work of preparing data reports and enable them to spend more time solving complex analytical challenges.
SEGA introduced Qlik’s solutions, including Qlik Sense, to bring in multiple data sources and automate the creation of routine reports.
With Qlik, analysts can independently collect, process, and analyze the required data. They are also able to incorporate data from external sources without writing complex algorithms.

If I ever direct/produce a blown-budget Hollywood movie around Tetris, I'd make it about an alien invasion during the Cold War where aliens use tetronimo-shaped meteors to attack the Russians, all the while being a clever metaphor for the Berlin Wall.

Then again, perhaps best to just watch this music video.

Not with pixels though, with chiseled asteroids. Though making Tetris an allegory to the Berlin Wall would be just as creative.

Yes, wall and blocks do make a good chemistry.
Especially if this is no ordinary "wall".
It could teach history too since probably young people nowadays didn't know about the fall of Berlin Wall history.

To be honest I barely know much about it myself other than it divided people.

But given Tetris is a Russian puzzle game about stacking blocks and Berlin is a country in Russia it would make sense to put these together.

It establishes that the Tetris characters are from an alien planet, why not they're from Russia instead?

Honestly I don't know Korobeiniki from anything else other than Tetris.

But I'm just saying, Tetris is made up of three worlds. Arle Nadja's high-fantasy world, Amitie's magic school world and Ringo Ando modern Japan. In Puyo Puyo 7 it shows that Ringo's world has other countries that she gets to visit with these special trains or something. They could of made the Starship Tetra come from Russia instead of another dimension.

Probably because it's based on SEGA Tetris and SEGA Tetris wasn't Russian-like.

Deep down inside Uncle desires friendly social interaction with others.
It is a significant reason why he considers Elf-san an ally, even though from his point of view, she is a hardcore Friendly Rival.
Uncle and Elf are reunited again in this episode.

SEGA Genesis Mini 2 will be in much shorter supply (around one-tenth) than original

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8RGornqWgw (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8RGornqWgw)

Quote
My questions about Genesis Mini 2 shipments were forwarded to Sega of Japan's corporate office, which eventually confirmed that the new miniaturized console was a "Japan-only project" for the company.
"The Sega Genesis Mini 2 could only be produced in small numbers due to the global semiconductor shortage," reads a letter from the Sega president's office, so the company opted to produce a small Western batch of Genesis Mini 2s alongside its order of Mega Drive Mini 2s.
"The number of units for this project makes up around one-tenth of the total for the previous Genesis Mini," the letter states.

This version's titled Futari de Puyo Puyo Sun & is restricted to 2P matches; as they kinda expected, they simply ran out of time to finish the port.
With 1 month to go, they realized they wouldn't be done by master up, but the core game was done & it would've been a shame to shelve it.

I don't think he has any other poses.
If you look closely to his pants, seems like other poses were edited from that one pose.

Meanwhile in alternate universe, following Puyo Puyo - Mean Bean Machine change, this was what's happened when SEGA localized Columns and made it a Robotnik game.

Quote
NSega’s last hurrah for first-party Dreamcast games was the Tetris-like Puyo Puyo Fever, which was released in Japan in March of 2004.
However, that wasn’t the de facto final official Dreamcast game ever.
In March of 2007, several days before the PlayStation 3 launched in Europe and Australia, Japanese Dreamcast owners also received the shoot ‘em up Karous.
So while many remember 2002 as the Dreamcast’s last year of even minor market relevancy, the console did live on for quite a few years beyond that.

He poops gems? Needs more fiber in his diet.

He can't do diet anymore because he's already ....
Well, his story is rather tragic...

His wife wanted to get all the gems from him at one single go.
So, one day she thought hard and at last clicked upon a plan.
She decided to kill him and get all the gems together.
But after she did that, there was nothing but blood all around & no trace of any gems at all.
She was highly grieved because now she would not get even one single gem.

This is also why we never get Columns IV.
He's already gone, because of his greedy wife.

Happy 12 Years Anniversary for Chuchu Rocket (iOS)!

Controls are surprisingly better than the Dremacast original and the GBA version.
Rather than moving the cursor to a spot and pressing the arrow buttons, one can simply tough and swipe a square in the direction they want an arrow to go.
Fast, simple, easy and I’m amazed that a ten year old game has actually found a control method that beats the original.
I’d assume things are even slicker on the iPad, as the squares themselves would be larger. Even so, I never found myself tapping a square that I didn’t mean to tap.

Nintendo hates the 'F' word, lol.

I don't know why Famitsu uses NSW instead of NS for Nintendo Switch,
may be because the code has to be in three letters for still unknown reason.

Could at least use a lower-case W.

When it comes to Equestria Girls I prefer to abbreviate it to "EqG". Just doesn't seem right as EG. As in barely an egg.

I don't think the code ever use lower case.
Also I read a source that said they probably don't want use NS since NS also happens to be the acronym of "National Socialist" (National Socialism was the official name of Nazism, for instance National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei or NSDAP).

After that date, the Steam Client will no longer run on those versions of Windows.
In order to continue running Steam and any games or other products purchased through Steam, users will need to update to a more recent version of Windows.
This change is required as core features in Steam rely on an embedded version of Google Chrome, which no longer functions on older versions of Windows.
In addition, future versions of Steam will require Windows feature and security updates only present in Windows 10 and above.

New retranslation of Puyo Puyo Fever (GBA) by Tasos500 makes cutscenes more faithful to the original Japanese script.

This is a retranslation of the main script of Puyo Puyo Fever for the GBA. The patch currently only supports the Japanese version, and specifically changes the English cutscene text to be more faithful to the original Japanese script.
This also changes the title cards for most characters, in order to use the more modern localizations of their names, such as Raffina instead of Raffine!

For the current fiscal year ending in March 2023, Sega plans the global simultaneous launch and multi-platform support for 12 new non-mobile games, which are expected to sell 12 million units (it's worth mentioning that the English version of the announcement includes a typo and reports 1.2 million units. The Japanese version has the correct figure).
According to the company, the conversion of its current IPs into global IPs is progressing and the growth strategy is moving to the next stage.
The core factors in that strategy going forward are treating its IP pool as a treasure island and reviving and scaling globally recognized IPs by reforming them to fit modern demand.
We also hear more about the acquisition of Rovio, which Sega hopes will change its mobile footprint from 12% overseas and 88% in Japan to 45% overseas and 55% in Japan.

Historical context is important. In his long-running Video Works series, game journalist and Limited Run Games media curator Jeremy Parish claims the Famicom's hardware scrolling capabilities put it ahead of the SG-1000. His statement isn't quite accurate, though. For the first 12 months on sale, not one Famicom game featured any scrolling of any kind – pause for a moment and consider that. The first examples were Hogan's Alley in June 1984, but that was simply between levels, and not player-controlled. The first player-controlled example was Lode Runner in July 1984, allowing free horizontal movement. So for the first 12 months, Sega actually had the advantage, with several of its launch line-up games and subsequent releases all featuring scrolling, meaning the SG-1000 did in fact outperform the Famicom – if not in colours, then in movement. This makes Yuji Naka's earlier statement true, at least for a time.
Naka himself also mentioned scrolling in his aforementioned interview: "I studied the technology of programming by trying new things, and by analysing what others had created. Programmers would compete within those limitations, and it was an era when technologies would advance every year. You can't get a real good kick out of the hardware nowadays, since it's capable of doing anything. That was the time when even making ...

Like a great many other online games, SEGA SPLASH! GOLF came with several layers of security to prevent hackers and cheaters – these naturally had to be overcome by Ninji in order to play the game in 2023. There was also the small matter of getting it to work on a non-Japanese computer, as it was never released worldwide.
However, as insurmountable as these issues might appear to the layperson, Ninji has successfully managed to get the game's practice mode working, recover its in-game shop (it had microtransactions, of course), and get the character customisation mode up and running. You can ...

If that video is how Puo Puyo battles are really like by the characters perspective then I'm honestly surprised at how violent they are.

I always imagined it like Yu-Gi-Oh where they make it seem like dueling monsters is a grand thing with monsters attacking one another and draining ones "life points"... but really it's just a card game brought to life with holograms.
(Unless it's a Shadow Game but that's besides the point.)

I've seen (on YouTube) the Puyo Puyo On Stage and while they depict Puyo Battles as a form of conflict they still use gameplay footage from Puyo Puyo Champions.

This is a problem when puzzle games were given a story treatment.
Tetris was some sort of puzzle problem solving in the old games' stories and suddenly now it has battle with Puyo Puyo.
When I first played Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine, I never understand too how they battled with each other.
And I doubt it's using flashy special moves just like in the video since the gameplay was still basic then.
May be if there's a movie about them it'll become more understandable.

This is a problem when puzzle games were given a story treatment.
Tetris was some sort of puzzle problem solving in the old games' stories and suddenly now it has battle with Puyo Puyo.
When I first played Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine, I never understand too how they battled with each other.
And I doubt it's using flashy special moves just like in the video since the gameplay was still basic then.
May be if there's a movie about them it'll become more understandable.
I imagine Puyo Battles amongst Arle, Amitie and Ringo are as treated as grand and as competitively as Duel Monster duels are in Yu-Gi-Oh, but with magic instead of holograms. No one really gets hurt but still feel the impact of the spells they cast on one another... I think. Not like the game uses "Life Points". It's just it looks like they have Puyo Battles amongst one another for fun and othe rtimes they have Puyo Battles to resolve conflicts.
Just like what they do in Yu-Gi-Oh and almost all trading toy/card game anime out there.

As for a movie adaption, I actually can imagine how Puyo Puyo movie could work, I have a rough plot in mind and how it be about loss and mental health.

But weren't there puyos and blocks falling from the sky in PPT?
And they'll get hurt when those puyos/blocks fall into them?

Yeah but given these games don't spend much budget on the cutscenes and keep them on tier as "visual novels" of cutscenes. I understand falling puyo and tetronimo do cause some disruption but no lasting damages, and we're not sure exactly how big they are, but I presume the average size of a puyo is about a third meter tall or so, also being regarded as "slime monsters" their gelatinous bodies probably means less of an impact if one falls on you, I imagine it's more of a humiliation when you fail a Puyo Match and all those puyos pile on you.
That sounds dark...
Not if it's done right. Think of it more like how Inside Out (https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Inside_Out) depicted the mental health of a young teenager going through changes in their life using personifications of her mental health.

The cinematic opening in mind depicts a creature similar to the Beast (https://disney.fandom.com/wiki/Beast) but we don't get to see his face. He laments his one true love has died and casts a spell to be rid of his heartbreak and turmoil, literally causing a magical beam to erupt from his body and shoot up into the sky over his castle. This caused a cloud caught in the beam to absorb this colourful energy and start to grow into a more menacing storm cloud.

Next scene take place in a pleasant hamlet town where Arle Nadja wakes up, maybe sing a song, give the impression she is happy even though she lives in a house with an absent parent.

The "storm cloud" creeps over her town and begins to rain, only instead of raindrops it rain puyo. The puyo seem to be attracted to people of certain mental state, for example two men arguing, we see red (angry) and blue (sad) puyo stack around them, a sort of "puyo battle" that mimics the direction of their argument.

Arle goes on a quest to find the root of the problem and encounters a dark mage warrior who confronts her. They learn the puyo can be used for battle but require willpower to use, but their "fight" leads into a verbal confrontation where Arle loses... She feels sad about herself and her story is pretty much coming to terms with her mothers death that she's been in denial over.
After getting over herself, she and Schezo sort of become friends, and they go to the fortress where the monster that started it all.

It turns out the monster was "Satan" who, after purging himself of his emotions, become the handsome green-haired demon prince we all know him as. When he sees Arle, he believes she is his beloved Lilith, who has returned to her. Arle understands that the reason why Satan did all this is that he couldn't handle mourning the death of his wife and like her, he was in denial. They have a Puyo Battle which again is depicted as Arle reasoning with Satan to come to terms with his loss, she speaks to him with sincerity and pity while Satan insist everything is fine and deluded. This cause the puyo to manifest a doppelgänger of Arle which confuses Satan and... well, I figure it eventually ends with Satan having a breakdown and accepting what he had done, that she is truly gone, to come to terms and be able to move on.

He eventually undid the puyo storm cloud and peace is restored... but has a comical ending with Satan wanting to "move on" with Arle who more regards him as a difficult friend than romantic.

At least, that would be my pitch for a Puyo Puyo movie. A fantasy adventure film that favours "talking about our feelings" than just action-fighting scenes for the heck of it. And while normally most audience would find "people talking" rather boring for an adventure film, I like the idea of puyo battles being used as a representation of debates and arguments between characters. Arle is trying to get over the loss of her parent by keeping herself "happy", Schezo is a dark mage with insecurities and Satan is in denial over grieving for the loss of his wife. Characters we normally recognise as positive, happy-go-lucky sort in the games who are broken people in this film and how the "puyo storm" is both a bad thing given anyone caught in the rain of puyo become more emotional and confused, but also a good thing because the puyo encourage people to express how they feel, talk and "work it out" the same way puyo matches are played.

Okay, puyo falling may not hurt that much, but block falling may.

That's an interesting take of Satan and Schezo.
Satan's always treated as a joke I started feeling sorry for him so I kinda like your version better.

I also kinda dig it for Puyo became some sort of emotion enhancer too, not just as an object to play with.

Yeah, puyo have faces and colour that seem to correspond to an emotion.

Anger
Joy
Sorrow
Calm
Apprehensive

While in the games puyo colours are generated randomly, I can imagine scenes in the movie of heated arguments or compassionate reasoning between two people while puyo are stacking around them in colours associated with their words and feelings.

You know when you're having an argument with someone, and you really want to prove your point, but they speak imposingly or with reasoning that makes you feel their words are stacking against you? And that even if you don't want to agree with them, you have to give way to falter to their words and lose the argument.
That's why in my "cinematic vision" I compare puyo battles to heartfelt discussions. Maybe Draco Centurion is depicted as a "rival" to Arle, but when the puyos encourage them to talk it out and in turn they stack puyos together, they start to enjoy each others company and regard one another as riends, all the while the purple and red puyo pop away while green and yellow puyo begin to stack.

Nice emotion picks for puyo color, especially green.
Green Puyo is the most popular one and since it represented calm, I guess Green Puyo is the normal one.
We are usually always calm inside, not too happy, not too sad, not too angry.
The most normal state.

I've yet to decide if my vision of a Puyo Puyo movie should be live-action like Sonic's films or CGI like Super Mario film, but the continuity and nature of the puyo will be different from the games.

Such as "Satan" be depicted as a cloaked monster who purges his emotions and transforms into a handsome dark prince, while his purged emotions become the puyo.

Also, I might rename Satan and Lilith, Puyo Puyo can get away with that in Japan, but I doubt the religious audience would appreciate the names being used so callously.
Maybe Lillith is renamed Lucy and Satan is renamed Cifer. (Their shipping name being "lucifer")
Unless Sega of America has proposed alternate names for them.

Satan has already renamed by SEGA of America as Dark Prince (or just Prince) so we can use that.

Lilith's name is not as controversial as Satan since lot of people's using that name.
Capcom didn't change Darkstalker's Lilith name to in western version eventhough they've changed the name of the werewolf, ancient robot, and merman.

But if you still want to change it, you can use how it's name pronounced in Japan : Ririsu (or just Riri).

I never played the Madou games but it would be nice if they established more back lore to the overall Puyo Puyo lore.
I mean, from what I understand so far the "Puyoverse" consist of three separate worlds or parallel universes. (A triniverse"?)I don't know if Primp Town is located on Madou World but Puyo Puyo 7 was the first game that crossed over these three worlds and regarded them separate. It wasn't until the Puyo Tetris games when dimensional routes were conveniently established between these three worlds for the friends to come and go as they please.

Wait... Arle could be categorized into loli? I never knew her age and I thought she was an adult.

I mean, from what I understand so far the "Puyoverse" consist of three separate worlds or parallel universes. (A triniverse"?)
  • Madou World, where Arle Nadja is from. Somewhat of a traditional fantasy world with some contemporary elements. Arle ventured through her first dungeon filled with dangerous monsters and traps... just to graduate kindergarten.
  • Primp Town, where Amitie is from. Primp Town seem to have some modern architecture here and there, but given magic is still a predominant element, such as a Magic School where students learn fantasy-like magic.
  • Suzuran, where Ringo Ando is from. Unlike Madou World and Primp town which are more fantasy-eccentric worlds that are well familiar with puyo, Suzuran seems to be either a fictional city in Japan or somewhere in Tokyo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_wards_of_Tokyo). Either way, not only is it confirmed to take place on a world much like Earth (going as far as specific places such as Loch Ness, Egypt, the Himalayas, Easter Island, Area 51, the Bermuda Triangle and Stonehenge). Not only that but this world did not have puyo as well as "puyo battles" until it was introduced in Puyo Puyo 7, making it a world much like ours.

I never played the Madou games too but we might play this one later since it's released by Compile, very high chance that it would get an english version and released on Steam too.
Unlike ones that stayed exclusively in some consoles and only available in Japanese.

So Ringo was the only one from earth?

Given Ringo Ando attends high school, I'd say the Puyo trio and their friends are roughly in their pre-teens. Maybe 12-15 or so.
Plus Arle was in kindergarten for her first adventure and some fan art still depict her rather young.

I think that game actually introduce a fourth world to puyo-lore, one where puyo battles fuciton similar to JRPG battles.

And yeah. I may not pau Puyo Puyo often but I watched videos of the cutscenes paste together into a film to understand the general story of it.

Arle and Amitie come from stereotypical fantasy worlds but we really don't know much of them. I mean we know Amitie live sin Primp Town and Primp Town seem to have more traditional architecture over fantasy. As for Arle, all we know of her is she attended kindergarten, a kindergarten that keeps a tower full of dungeons and expect students to reach the top of it to graduate. We don't know the name of Arle's hometown, family or anything else about her. All we do know is her world is dubbed "Madou World".

Puyo Puyo 7 however is set in a city much like Tokyo called "Suzuran" and in Act 3 of Puyo Puyo 7, Ringo has to have puyo battles at the "Seven Wonders of the World"... which conveniently there are trains services to these international locations which she takes. These places being Loch Ness, Egypt, the Himalayas, Easter Island, Area 51, the Bermuda Triangle and Stonehenge.
So the impression I got from Ringo Ando's world that while it has the cartoony logic of most Puyo Puyo games, Ringo's world is more like ours.

(This is why in my "Columns 4ever" idea, it takes place on Ringo's world but a long time a go (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_antiquity).)

The first of six "Columns 4ever" characters I'm working on.
Still WIP though.

https://sta.sh/0tsxcevsgnm (https://sta.sh/0tsxcevsgnm) (Will make profile pictures and post them)

Her name is Amethyst, while her nationality is Phoenician (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenicia), she and her father are merchants who sail across the Mediterranean Sea doing business with neighbouring countries. Her father taught her of the magical game "Columns" and told her stories how the game was created by the merchants of Phoenicia.
"Columns 4ever" is just a hypothetical, fan-proposal idea for both a sequel to Columns III (https://segaretro.org/Columns_III:_Revenge_of_Columns) and adopting the Puyo-art style to make it a plausible part of the Puyo Puyo series.
The story in mind is Queen Dido (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dido), ruler of Carthage (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Carthage), accuses Amethyst father for stealing the crown jewels and has him imprisoned. Still being the fair queen she is, she allows Amethyst to prove his innocence by bringing the crown jewels back.
The real culprit is Surhand (https://twitter.com/personasama/status/1381698531732283395), the merchant queen of Phoenicia's black market. Her lackies secure the crown jewels to places across the Phoenician trade empire, such as Egypt, Greece and even far off places such as Arabia. (I might recast the Indian girl into a Roman girl to fit in more with the Greco-Roman theme. That and India is rather far away.)
While Amethyst is just as happy-go-lucky as most other Puyo Puyo characters usually are, she has a "Scrooge McDuck complex" in which she has a head for profit, the drive for treasure hunting and an avarice for gold and riches (I yet to choose her "spells" but her theme is gold coins and treasure. I would compare her avarice to that of a ferengi (https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Ferengi), but while she does have business sense comparable to a ferengi I find it hard to imagine she will let her greed get in the way of her relations with others.)
Despite her avarice, she is still a morally good person and kind-hearted girl. The five other characters I'm working on are the people she meet along her journey and become close friends with. (Kinda like the Mane six (https://mlp.fandom.com/wiki/Characters#Main_characters) or the Super Hero Girls (https://dcsuperherogirls.fandom.com/wiki/Super_Hero_Girls_(G2)).)

I tried to emulate the Sega-era Puyo Puyo art style because while the Starship Tetra crew are Puyo Puyo characters that represent Tetris, I like to imagine my Columns OC to potentially be Puyo Puyo characters that represent Columns. They all live on Ringo Ando's Earth, but they lived in ancient times, (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_antiquity) so the only way the Columns characters and Puyo characters to meet would be time travel.

The real culprit is Surhand (https://twitter.com/personasama/status/1381698531732283395), the merchant queen of Phoenicia's black market. Her lackies secure the crown jewels to places across the Phoenician trade empire, such as Egypt, Greece and even far off places such as Arabia. (I might recast the Indian girl into a Roman girl to fit in more with the Greco-Roman theme. That and India is rather far away.)
While Amethyst is just as happy-go-lucky as most other Puyo Puyo characters usually are, she has a "Scrooge McDuck complex" in which she has a head for profit, the drive for treasure hunting and an avarice for gold and riches (I yet to choose her "spells" but her theme is gold coins and treasure. I would compare her avarice to that of a ferengi (https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Ferengi), but while she does have business sense comparable to a ferengi I find it hard to imagine she will let her greed get in the way of her relations with others.)
Despite her avarice, she is still a morally good person and kind-hearted girl. The five other characters I'm working on are the people she meet along her journey and become close friends with. (Kinda like the Mane six (https://mlp.fandom.com/wiki/Characters#Main_characters) or the Super Hero Girls (https://dcsuperherogirls.fandom.com/wiki/Super_Hero_Girls_(G2)).)

I tried to emulate the Sega-era Puyo Puyo art style because while the Starship Tetra crew are Puyo Puyo characters that represent Tetris, I like to imagine my Columns OC to potentially be Puyo Puyo characters that represent Columns. They all live on Ringo Ando's Earth, but they lived in ancient times, (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_antiquity) so the only way the Columns characters and Puyo characters to meet would be time travel.

Oh, nice. The story sounds interesting too, her happy-go-lucky would prevent the story's getting to dark.
Since Amethyst lived in ancient times, would there be a twist like a Puyo Puyo / Columns Jewel character is a descendant of her or something in Puyo Puyo / Columns Jewel / Columns Crown was her legacy or something?

I haven't even thought of the possibility of "descendants". I just figured it be nice if Columns got a game much like the modern Puyo Puyo games, but were not as bright and generic as them. Which is why I wanted to keep the "ancient world" theme, but still keeps the door wide open for a possible crossover with Puyo Puyo.

Though while the Puyo Puyo series has kept most of its classic-era characters, I can imagine my Columns World having characters from other Columns games.

(All Columns fan art by @Perosnasama (https://twitter.com/personasama).)

Let's talk about the "Columns continuity" for a bit and how I imagine "Columns 4ever" to fit into all of it.

Stack Columns (https://segaretro.org/Stack_Columns) is the first Columns game that deviated from the ancient world theme. It had a sort of "underground casino" theme along with the most strangest ending I've ever seen in a puzzle game.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOjGZkckL0c

To me, Columns Crown (https://segaretro.org/Columns_Crown) was when they decided to just "make it all colourful and cutesy like Puyo Puyo and see if it sticks.", which it didn't. Because of this I was never fond of Columns Crown attempt and honestly glad it didn't stick because I really wouldn't want Sega to give up Columns "ancient world" theme for generic Puyo-fantasy schtick. If I "had" to include Columns Crown into my 4ever continuity, I'd rather it is a separate world thing, like how Arle Nadja and Amitie's worlds are separate.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35aJVPJXFug

The lesser heard Columns Jewel (https://segaretro.org/Columns_Jewel) which took cute character designs that Puyo Puyi is known for but kept the whole "ancient world" theme which I think pulled it off really well!
Columns Jewel would have probably revolutionised the Columns franchise... if t were not released exclusively released in Japan for i-mode 505i and EZweb (BREW 3.1) devices.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6__H-Kqt8Ns

I have not forgotten Culet and Cleopatra from Sega Ages Columns. While I can't imagine a role for Cleopatra in Columns 4ever, one of the characters I have planned idolize her.
(I can imagine Culet in how I imagine "Puyo Puyo × Columns" could work though.)

Columns Crown is probably the most played Columns game in the franchise (especially due to the fact that we had to collect 24 missing gems to get the true ending, the dialogues with enemies also alwways changing depended on how many missing gems we already acquired) so I kinda had a good spot for it.
The 24 magic gems' power that we could use tottaly revolutionize its 2P battle system into something as crazy as Tetris Axis or Puyo Puyo.
The protagonists may be too generic and forgetable but the enemies are funny and interesting that they fit well into Puyo Puyo storyline if they ever have cross-overed.

But you're right about the uniqueness of Columns are in its "ancient world" theme.
Taking away its uniqueness' like taking away its soul.

Also I really wish Columns had its crossover with Tetris instead of Puyo Puyo due to history.
SEGA bought Columns because they infamously lost the Tetris rights.

But of course Puyo Puyo x Tetris x Columns would be more ideal.

I simply wish Sega would give more attention to Columns over Puyo Puyo. They "adopted" Puyo Puyo, Columns was their own. I get why Puyo Puyo x Tetris was made, Tetris is one of the most popular puzzle games out there, it is too golden of an opportunity for Sega to pass up. I just wish they would consider a Columns crossover as well.

But at the same time, it would be a loaded wish. We could end up with a "Puyo Puyo x Columns Crown" or maybe they would just make up entirely new characters little to do with the original lore like they did with Tetris. (Given Ringo Ando's world is more based on Earth, I would have made the Tetris characters come from Russia! I wouldn't even change their designs or anything, just give them Russian accents and their starship being a "space race" or something.)

This is why I'm making up my own "Columns OCs", because I got this "Columns 4ever" idea stuck in my head. I just know if Sega ever decides to make a Columns IV or a Puyo Puyo x Columns game they won't do it right.

No, Columns wasn't SEGA's to begin with. They "adopted" Columns too from Jay Geertsen and Hewlett-Packard (HP).
Jay created it in X11 Windows System (Nathan Meyers then ported it to MS-DOS, and Chris Christensen to the Macintosh) as an exercise while at HP and it's based on TicTacToe.
Since Columns was made while he was at HP, HP owned it but they sold it back to Jay which then he sold it to SEGA when SEGA searched for puzzle game alternative (after they lost the Tetris rights to Nintendo).

Considering SEGA Ages Columns II: The Voyage Through Time didn't sell well (eventough M2 put a lot of new contents in this game), I highly doubt SEGA would ressurect the franchise for now so it'll probably the later.

Looking at the history, you could still say that while Puyo and Columns are both adopted by Sega, Sega was the one that really made Columns it's own. I mean the Atari didn't had much market in UK and PCs were subpar at the time. And given how bare-bones Columns was I doubt it would had been famous at all. Sega only got the rights because they couldn't get Tetris.

Puyo Puyo on the other hand, it already established itself a popular puzzle game and unlike Tetis, Sega could and did buy the rights to it!

But unlike Puyo Puyo, Columns got popular because Sega marketed it efficiently and made it widely recognisable while the whole reaosn they wanted Tetris and Puyo was because they didn't had the confidence to make a marketable puzzle game for themselves.

It does. And money favours effective marketing.

This is why I don't like the idea of a Columns revival that just steal Puyo Puyo's thing.

I mean yeah, that's exactly what I'm doing. I do want Columns to emulate the colourfulness and artstyle of Puyo Puyo to the point they're "cross-overable", all I want is the "ancient world (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_antiquity)" setting to be preserved, especially to be set in the Carthaginian Empire (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Carthage).

Agree to disagree.
Even if SEGA didn't pick it up, another company would and it still could success with their themes.
Gameplay is still the core.
Just look at Tetris, no matter company who picked up, the game's usually sold well.

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Fs9a2fuWAAAFDJl?format=jpg&name=small)

Also my first gaming system was PC and I did play and enjoy Columns back then.
There's also Columns-clone game called Wowtris (using PC MS DOS too torun) which gave cat-theme to Columns and it's more fun to play.
Too bad the game's dissapeared now, I can't find its trace anywhere, not even in the internet.

Depended on the goal then. Want to show the uniqueness of Columns themes (and unfortunately stays niche) or to ride the popularity of Puyo Puyo? I do still prefer the first one.

The story I have for "Columns 4ever", I can imagine both. The game could emulate the colourful art-style of Puyo Puyo but would still be set in the ancient world.
The various places Amethyst will visit will have themed background for Columns matches, just as Puyo Puyo has themed backgrounds.

The story is you're seeking the "crown jewels" of Carthage, each jewel based on one Columns signature gems. The yellow crown jewel is found in Egypt.

There, Amethyst befriends Helia. Helia is an Egyptian priestess and a big fan of Cleopatra, who she idolizes like a celebrity. She is snobby and vain about her beauty but when she realises Amethyst plight she is insistent on helping, showing her generous side.
(I'll properly introduce her when I finish making these profile sheets. Still working on Sapphira's.)

I think I remember playing a COlumns clon that had the statue of Liberty.

The core gameplay was really fun that it produces many clones and starts its own genre that is "match-three games".
Columns was the basis of a line of development of tile matching games based on shifting or swapping tiles.
It'd be then perfected in "Colors Game" (1999) then getting perfected more and popularized in Bejeweled series (2001-2020).
And "match-three games" as type of gameplay getting more popular after Bejeweled gameplay was used in Puzzle Quest series and Candy Crush Saga (2012).
Despite having to introduced the mechanic first, Columns sadly is not popular as the most financially successful "match-three games" of all time that is Candy Crush Saga.

I see. So graphicaly Columns 4ever is using Puyo Puyo's cheerful and cartoonic approach?

Yes, as well as the characters being "likeable" as Puyo Puyo characters... but at the same time I have the storyin mind which preserves the ancient world setting.

I mean, "cute anime girls" is a tried-and-true successful method. While Puyo Puyo has some guy characters (Schezo, Klug and Sig), Arle Nadja is the poster girl for the franchise followed by Amitie and Ringo, with major characters or most side characters being female. Plus, the "six best friends" formula was inspired by My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and DC Super Hero Girls. But also it is to coincide with the fact Columns games have six specific-coloured gemstones, so it all fits in a way.

>Scratches my head.
I dunno why I'm going through all this planning over a game I'll never make. I mean, I probably have more of a chance making Columns 4ever than I do my Golden Axe fan game. I imagine recreating Columns gameplay in Unity won't be that difficult (though if I ever decide to put the game up on Itch.io it depends if Unity's upcoming runtime fees or if Sega are lenient to fan games other than Sonic.)

I also keep having second thoughts if a Puyo Puyo × Columns gameplay could even work! Tetris was slightly modified to work for Puyo Puyo simply by making the five tetrominos colour-coded to the five puyo colours. Columns have six colours to that means either an orange puyo is introduced or orange gem is removed. (For a Puyo Puyo × Columns story, I do have a possible explanation on how the Puyo Puyo characters crossover and how the orange gems are absent but again I dunno.)
EDIT: I forgot there were orange tetronimos.

Also, I dunno if I should make "crush" (when the playing field is raised, limiting your space) should still a manual button-triggered function or make it automatically like "garbage puyo" are.

I dunno why I'm going through all this planning over a game I'll never make. I mean, I probably have more of a chance making Columns 4ever than I do my Golden Axe fan game. I imagine recreating Columns gameplay in Unity won't be that difficult (though if I ever decide to put the game up on Itch.io it depends if Unity's upcoming runtime fees or if Sega are lenient to fan games other than Sonic.)

I also keep having second thoughts if a Puyo Puyo × Columns gameplay could even work! Tetris was slightly modified to work for Puyo Puyo simply by making the five tetrominos colour-coded to the five puyo colours. Columns have six colours to that means either an orange puyo is introduced or orange gem is removed. (For a Puyo Puyo × Columns story, I do have a possible explanation on how the Puyo Puyo characters crossover and how the orange gems are absent but again I dunno.)
EDIT: I forgot there were orange tetronimos.

Also, I dunno if I should make "crush" (when the playing field is raised, limiting your space) should still a manual button-triggered function or make it automatically like "garbage puyo" are.

While both Columns and Golden Axe are franchises abandoned by SEGA, their genres are really different so I didn't know which one is more interesting to be ressurected.
But having a plan to make fan games of them is wonderful. The spirit of those abandoned franchises do live in the heart of the fans afterall.

It does.

A part of me does want Sega to "give a damn" and give these abandoned franchises another chance.

But I also fear that they will either take it t a direction I won't like (such as abandoning the ancient world look in Columns Crown and stack Columns) or if they end up with another "bad game" just give up on the franchise (As what happened to Golden Axe: Beastriders).
Or worse, both!

Still, I don't work for Sega, who am I to say what they should do and how they do it?

I don't even know if I should get Unity back given as a business I dunno what they're doing.

The "match-three" gameplay style in Columns itself at least has been kept alive (for some time) in SEGA Heroes.
Sure the gameplay is different, but if I have to pick about gameplay, I'd prefer the modern "match-three" gameplay in SEGA Heroes than Columns'.
It's just too bad that since it's a mobile game, the story isn't given too much thought.

Imagine if it was a console game and the story was being done as good as Project Sekai Colorful Stage or Sin Chronicles.
Those SEGA heroes were brought to many places/time in all SEGA franchises which one of them to be Carthaginian Empire.
Some sort of Sonic Prime's story, but with SEGA Heroes characters instead of Sonic.

Yeah, I never got to play the game. I'm missing out on a lot of mobile-exclusive games.
I mean, Sonic Speed Sim was an acception because Roblox can be played on PC. But I never played Sonic Runners, Dash or Speed Battle. I would like to, but not everyone's phones are practical for gaming.

But yeah, Sega needs more Sega All-Star/Sega Heroes games. It is sad that the franchises that Sega abandoned need these crossovers for what little fresh blood it can provide to their franchises.

There's also a mobile-exclusive game too that I missed because it was an Apple Arcade Exclusive : Chuchu Rocket Universe.
The game is delisted now.
I love Chuchu Rocket on Dreamcast and Game Boy Advance so it's kinda sad to see I never got to play the sequel.

I'm sure they have their own reason. Beside, just because many fans it doesn't mean it would make profit. Sakura Wars for example.

Depended on the place. While the game had connections to a masculine gambling culture in China, white people in the U.S. soon came to think of it as a game for women.
