Puyo Puyo Tetris Is Out! This Is Why You Need To Play It!

So, I did not write a post two weeks ago, but you know what did happen two weeks ago? The localization for Puyo Puyo Tetris was released! You must play this game. Why? Here is why:

Puyo Puyo is awesome
Especially in multiplayer, Puyo Puyo is a strategic game of wits in which knowing the opponent's next move, thinking ahead, and praying for just the right piece are essential skills.


You know about Tetris already
You know Tetris is awesome.

The last Puyo Puyo localization was an eternity ago
Seriously, this makes it kind of important imho.

The Switch version shows how the Joy-Cons can be used for quick and easy local multiplayer
The game can be controlled with a single Joy-Con, so local head-to-head play can be initiated pretty much whenever there are two people willing to play.
(Note: The localization is also available physically on PS4. As for why it isn't available digitally on there, you can basically blame Ubisoft.)

The full game has a lot more than the demo
The demo only has a fraction of the content the full game has, believe it or not. Like, the full game has quite a bit more content in it than the demo does. Really. I swear.

Okay, also there are non-battle modes for both Puyo Puyo and Tetris
While the emphasis is on the battle modes, within the Solo Arcade menu you can find a sub-menu with non-battle experiences if you ever want a break from getting destroyed by the AI/online opponents. Or if you want to practice so you will not get destroyed by the AI/online opponents.

"But I can just play Tetris for free on my phone!"
Wow that is one of the most absurd things I have ever heard considering you're probably talking about Tetris Blitz which is free-to-play with microtransactions and doesn't have a comparable control scheme plus you're ignoring the first half of this game's title.

As an aside, by the way...
No streaming restrictions in the localization
Okay, so, yeah, you read the bold text. Streaming restrictions still apply to the Japanese version, though. Why? I donno, but Sega has had different (or in this case removed) streaming restrictions between regions before, so this is far from unprecedented.

So, I hope I have sold you on this game in this post. Here's hoping I will have more than one post this month, by the way!
