@sleepyschezo Certainly is! July 14th. I'm really looking forward to it. I won't have the funds to buy the game on release, but I will be buying it once I do have funds available. The actual 20th birthday of Puyo will be on Thursday, October 25th, as the very first Puyo Puyo game was released on the MSX on 25th October 1991.
i love puyo and im on the west and i understand y they wont release it too to many "hard core gamers" also known as nerds >_> i would love if people started to enjoy puzzles more then we might be able to actually see a puzzle game released. i see 0% commercials that are puzzle so america needs to find fun in puzzle games fast D: i was lucky enough to find puyo puyo fever at gamestop used 1 instock
@Tai223235 bleh i ment east but lol yea same problem :P. So many kids in to nothing but shootes at my school mainly so i dont expect many puzzles here ^.^. the only game my school may all agree on is that they played tetris and thats about it -.-.
@Kirbyrida The people now only think on Graphics, and too:
-They think is too hard, and don't try again. (ridiculous because examples like puyo puyo is hard only if you want to play with gammers and hard level on game, ooor want to start from normal level even if you never play that.)
Tetris is the only exception, but by today's timeline it's certainly not a fashionable game. Not like what it was 20 years ago. You can thank the Game Boy for that.
Tetris has a much bigger fanbase than Puyo though, even by today's standards. Puyo is a niche, Tetris isn't. Puyo won't ever grow to a large enough fanbase to be respectable, and that's a bitter pill us fans have to swallow and live with.
@tomatzu: Don't agree with this because it's really popular in Japan compared to USA.
Go on Pixiv and see how much fanart there is compared to DA. They even cosplay the stuff.....there was like five people in the USA who did Puyo Puyo compared to Japan?
Puzzle games are not popular compared to stupid VS games, sports, and FPS because of how many guys dominate the gaming field >_<

@sleepyschezo You've inadvertently contradicted yourself and agreed with my statement. I've been a fan of Puyo for 18 years. I'm a veteran, and I know how popular Puyo is in Japan, just that it hasn't been popular outside of Japan at all. Puzzle games went out of fashion years ago in the West. As you should've probably realised by my statement, I'm referring to the general worldwide populace, to which Japan accounts for about 20-25% of that, hence in the West, it's niche.
@sleepyschezo Afraid not. Popularity is measured on a worldwide scale in general, and never on the basis of one territory alone unless specified as such. Tetris is the Puzzle game the general worldwide populace knows. Puyo however, the general worldwide populace would not have heard about it.
The bottom line is that Puyo isn't popular worldwide. More to the point, Puzzle games nowadays aren't that popular anymore.
@tomatzu: Oh well this is clearer than the last statement. That one confused me a lot.
You can't really compare Tetris to Puyo, considering that Puyo is mostly 'Japan only' while Tetris is worldwide. It would be like comparing the popularity of Final fantasy 7 to Dragon quest.
There are a lot of games in Japan that are just not popular in the states, but popular all over the world. The last Puyo game was released during GBA so who knows how well it would do now?
@sleepyschezo You can compare Puyo to Tetris, much in the same way you can compare Columns to Tetris etc. Country of origin or where the game is most popular doesn't matter at all, they are falling-block puzzle games. The layman will see Puyo as a Tetris-style game. This is a general point, not a specialist one. You can't compare Panel de Pon to Puyo though because they are different puzzle-game types.
Correction: Fever DS was the last Puyo game released in the West. It didn't do well at all.
Unacceptable. Puyo is Japanese and should be enjoyed in its original language. Sega won't release it to the West because Westerners on the whole don't like puzzle games. It has a niche, but that's no bigger than a couple of thousand people. Very tiny!
Proper Puyo games are those made by Compile, not those made by Sega. You can buy Puyo 2 on Wii's Virtual Console, and emulation is available to all. =D
Well, I did say "if it ever is". Trust me, it's no secret to me that the USA isn't into puzzle games. Um, you ever heard of "Ultimate Block Party"? It's also called "Kollon". Great puzzle game, but not popular in America.
I did find a translation patch last night for Puyo Puyo 7, so emulation's a possibility, although the emulator better have Wi-Fi compatibility.
Heck, I won't even rule out the possibility of getting this game at an Anime Convention. Anything's possible! : )
I doubt the emulator will have Wi-Fi compatibility. I don't believe in translation patches, as translators tend to add their own inside jokes and patches themselves generally are awful and inaccurate. I'm very much against them for legal reasons too, as I'm of a law background.
I've heard of Koloomn yes. Haven't played it, but know of it. You'll have to refer to games by their European names, as I'm not American nor do I live in America.
This is an evil version of the Transformation theme :3

Is it even worth saying that I haven't even played this puyo game? D: (I have Puyo Pop Fever for the DS, although I'm garbage at it)

It isn't worth saying that you have PPF DS. PPF is garbage. Get a proper Puyo game. =P
