Puyo Puyo Tetris PC Trailer; Releasing on February 27
- Thread starter Shard Shinjuku
- Start date
Seriously. This cannot be understated. If you have any interest in either 1) tetris, 2) puyo puyo, 3) party games, 4) intense vs duels, or 5) plain old puzzle fun, then you need to get on this thing pronto.
No. The Tetris Company refuses to acknowledge that the Grand Master games exist, likely because they're sticklers for the precise details of how Tetris plays, and TGM does not conform to their guidelines.
TGM Anthology PC/PS4/XBO/Switch would be a dream come true. It'll never happen though.
I'm sorry, HOW MUCH?
That is a ridiculously low price. Double-dip confirmed!
(triple-dip if you include the Japanese PS4 version I own)
(still haven't gotten past 3-10 in story mode though please send help)
Alright SNK, time to step up and have Arika make a TGM-like game based on your totally not Tetris copycat.
Was going to pick this up on the Switch, but grabbing it here instead and will run it through the Shield TV to play with my wife. Crazy price!

It's a Christmas miracle.
That sounds like their MO when it comes to weird license shenanigans like this.
Ain't even surprised at this point.
so why is it region locked in asia

I guess I'll wait till it launches. This would have been one of the rare games I bought on launch, but I need to see impressions first. On the one hand: Tetris and no Uplay. On the other hand: Horrid DRM. *Sigh* I really don't feel like I'm asking for the moon on this.
Nice. Gonna need to save 20 bucks to get it.
Everyone knew they were going to use Denuvo.
At least they managed to make Sonic Mania having Denuvo look logical by comparison.
I am honestly either way about Denuvo, the online check part sucks and is the worst part, but the biggest thing I see people complain about is performance impact usually. DOOM removed it and no performance gain, Sniper 3 removed it and still no performance gain.
That said, I really don't think it's needed in this case

This is one of those games that people kinda just play everywhere so it is kinda crap to have Denuvo in it.
It's like if the Steam version of Melty Blood had some kinda wacky 3rd party DRM in it. No hotel bathroom Melty Blood tournies anymore.

I don't think Ubi's licence is expiring. EA's mobile game is still available and it's several years old now, which means it overlaps with both with the original PPT release (which launched the month after Ubi licensed the IP) and Ubi's game. Evidently, Tetris Co. is happy to license the IP to multiple parties concurrently, although I imagine there are terms preventing licensees from releasing a game that directly competes with that of another publisher. So, in this case: EA has mobile rights for classic Tetris, Ubi has PC/console rights for classic Tetris, and Sega sought the IP exclusively for the purpose of fusing it with Puyo Puyo.

That's actually a good question, I always wondered about that. I assume a few people do.
I would assume it would be a decent chunk of people who don't always have 24/7 internet connection.
The previous explanation I'd heard was TTC would only grant 1 license per platform per region with no competitive releases. This is why Nintendo had to delist Tetris Axis and Tetris GB from 3DS eShop when Ubisoft's game released. Also why Sega had kept PPT to Japan and when it did come west it was on a system Tetris Ultimate wasn't (Switch) or retail only (PS4) long after Ubi had stopped printing their game. In Japan Ubi had Tetris Ultimate on PS4/XBO digital too, which is why those platforms got PPT physical only.
PPT on Steam implies that this stipulation may have changed now though. Unless Ubi's game gets delisted soon.
Loved the demo for this game on Switch, didn't feel like it warranted the 30$ asking price though. With the Steam version being just 9.3$ (thanks regional pricing), I will be getting this day one.
Hell yes, so glad that this is finally happening. Japanese voice is there as well, which is also a huge plus.
Too bad there's no Japanese language support, Japan hasn't had a PuyoPuyo game on PC since Fever.

Sure, they should've released it for the same price a year later.
You know how I meant that. The PC price should have been the actual price from the beginning.
...So you are saying they should have released it for the same price a year later?
This is the first time it's coming out on PC. I'm confused by what you mean.
You can play vs CPU in just Tetris. There are also solo Tetris modes - Marathon, Clear 40 lines as fast as possible, and score as many points as possible in 3 minutes. Everything involving Puyo Puyo to me is just yawn-inducing, but I've never found the Puyo Puyo puzzle gameplay to be remotely interesting or fun. This game is at its worst imo when it mixes Puyo Puyo and Tetris on the same board, but that can easily be avoided. If you're a fan of either one of these puzzle games, there's enough modes that involve just those types to satisfy you here.
God, I mean the game was and is overpriced on consoles. :)
I don't regret buying the game myself but they just made it 30 bucks because they knew they could get away with it on consoles and the PC price coupled with the fact the console versions still have the same price just reinforces that.
