The 2007 indie Dreamcast game Wind and Water: Puzzle Battles will be receiving a re-release this year, it has been confirmed. Wind and Water: Puzzle Battles had been sold out for years and now developer Yuan Works Co., Ltd has teamed up with DragonBox Shop to re-release their famed puzzle game.
The studio announced that it was working on a new title called ‘Little Ninja‘, after Wind and Water: Puzzle Battles but it seems they are gauging interest for homebrew games, since Wind and Water: Puzzle Battles came out almost a decade ago. Yuan Works Co., Ltd also set up a Patreon to get development for Little Ninja off the ground.
If you haven’t played it Wind and Water: Puzzle Battles it mixes Bejeweled type puzzle gameplay with a over world map and old school JRPG like story elements. The re-release will have bug fixes and is up for pre-order for only $9.36 (plus shipping). Not a bad price at all.

Came out in 2008 for Dreamcast.
GP2X was 2007.
The Dreamcast version was actually a port, a re-released conversion from an earlier release on another system, it wasn’t built from the ground up with the Dreamcast in mind.
*With native Dreamcast code, that it was written from.
Yes the graphics were carried over but the story was revised and the code rewritten for the Dreamcast.
Just like inhabitants which was a PC game expanded for the Drramcast.
Who cares, it’s a great game at a great price. Every DC owner should do their selves a favor and buy this re-release (I’ve owned the original release for years).
