SEGA Puzzle Games - If it doesn't fit, just flip it over!

Yeah, I think because they are only showing one character from each title.
(exception for Columns III and Columns Crowns)
Still missing Sakura Wars and Ozamu Tezuka Columns, but that's understandable.

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.

When talking about naked Goddess, I always remember World from Magical Drop

Here's a video I found on the full gameplay of Columns Jewel. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6__H-Kqt8Ns
I can't read japanese, but I think the story is the girls name is Sena who finds a magic bracelet that takes her to places and moments around the world to compete in Columns matches with other girls. we have...

Egyptian princess/priest
Noro (I think)
Chinese noblewoman
Someone possibly inspired by Chang'e, given the japanese bamboo, visable moon and the bunny she's holding.
Someone possibly inspired by 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

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..

Although it mentioned how it was "coming soon" to the Nintendo Switch last June, there's been no mention of it until now.
As you can see, the promotional photo makes use of the new blue Switch Lite colour to match Sonic and Sega's blue theme.
