Puyo Puyo 20th Anniversary (3DS)

[JamesFox]

Puyo Puyo/Puyo Pop hasn't reached the US shores since the DS release of Puyo Pop Fever
I believe it's time for XSEED to fix this by bringing Puyo Puyo 20th Anniversary for the 3DS to American shores


i mean these features alone scream MUST BUY
- My Feed feature allows you to use pictures from your 3DS as backgrounds
- create custom Puyos via the My Puyo feature
- Wii and 3DS version feature online play
- Wii version has Issho ni Puyo Puyo mode
- this is where two players cooperate on the same field
- Wiimote Puyo Puyo has players team up to take on either movement or rotation duty
- all versions come with a Puyo Puyo!! Anniversary Soundtrack Collection CD as a pre-order bonus

I think the trouble with these types of games is the perceived value of puzzle type games in general. Even with a puzzle game like Catherine that had a full story to back it up, I still heard a lot of "I'll pick it up when it's cheaper" comments on many message boards.

With that said, this game doesn't seem to be lacking in features at all, so I'm sure as long as special attention was paid to ensuring that folks know about the multitude of different features, perceived value would be a lot less of a burden.

+1 from me!

I think if XSEED can release it at a budget price, there's a good chance for it to prosper
The one thing XSEED really needs to do is to hype it a bit more

that said, the 3DS needs more variety in order for it to succeed
Thus it's mandatory for XSEED to bring this game to the US

For the most part puzzle games only have a good chance of success if they launch along side the system, any later and they become 'just another puzzle game' in the eyes of the consumer. Besides, this is a Sega series, and so far XSeed hasn't been able to get any properties from them.

[JamesFox]

We should demand this game more in order for XSEED to try
again, We haven't gotten a Puyo Puyo game in the US since the DS Game "Puyo Pop Fever"
And that's a long time.

seriously.

I love love love love puyo puyo! Definite one day purchase for me!

I would support this wholeheartedly. I imported 15th Anniversary for my DS, but since the 3DS is region-locked, I would LOVE to have an honest-to-goodness NA release for this one!

Considering that Puyo Puyo is by far the best Puzzle series I've ever played, you have my support. It's a shame that Compile has since died and was replaced by the crappy dev that is Compile Heart and had their Puyo Puyo series fall into the hands of Sonic Team, but you get 2 limited edition pre-orders from me if this gets localized.


While those at the Puyo Nexus forum are still in the middle of translating the DS version of 20th Anniversary, I doubt they'll translate the 3DS, PSP, or Wii versions.
