Seems okay. $30 feels a bit steep.
Meta reasons to get the full version:
- This game needs to sell well if we want more Puyo games to get localized.
- Do you want the Tetris license to go back to Ubisoft for the next Tetris game? D:
Gameplay reasons to get the full version:
- Online play - You can do ranked matches or play with your friends. I tried playing Puyo Puyo Tetris online with my switch tethered to my phone and the latency wasn't bad at all. You'll have solid netplay wherever you go.
- Multi-switch play - The demo only lets you do multiplayer on one screen; on the full version, you can do multiplayer with multiple Switches. Useful if each person wants to play with their own Puyo skins in case of colorblindness or something (I haven't tried local play myself yet but I'm 99% sure you can do this).
- Single Player practice modes - Marathon, Ultra, Sprint, Endless Fever, Endless Puyo Puyo, Endless Tiny Puyo
- Fusion mode, Party mode, and Big Bang - these are all really fun and great for parties. You haven't experienced Puyo Puyo Tetris until you've suffered through the craziness of Fusion mode.
- Different control schemes in Single player - I think the demo lets you choose a control scheme in multiplayer but not in single player.
- Replay saving and sharing - You can save replays of your matches and share them online.
- Matchmaking QOL options - You know how the demo kicks you back to the title screen after every match? In the full version, all you have to do is hit "Continue" if you want a rematch. The full game will also count how many sets each player wins.
- Additional AI difficulty options - If you hold L when selecting a character, you can max out the AI difficulty (the CPU will start doing 6 to 10 chains against you). You can't do this in the demo.
- Story mode - very challenging if you want to get 3 stars on every stage for 130% completion.
- Option to turn off HD rumble
- Ingame tutorials for Puyo Puyo, Tetris, and Fusion Mode.
Aesthetic reasons to get the full version:
- Eight more playable characters (24 total). These characters actually do different things in Party and Fusion mode.
- Alternate voice packs for all 24 characters.
- The story mode is fully voiced with about 3+ hours of dialogue.
- More Puyo Puyo and Tetris skins, some of which are references to other SEGA or Tetris games. Morolian Puyos, SEGA Tetris colored tetriminos, MSX era retro Puyos....
- Lots of extra unlockable backgrounds
- Great mix of nostalgic and new BGMs
- Obligatory Tetris Type A remix (Korobeiniki)
- Block by Block ~ Beat by Beat (remix of the theme from SEGA Tetris 1989) (the retro version is in the game too)
- Big Bang theme (remix of... Tengen Tetris Karinka 1988)
- Unsavvy Tetra Force!
- Tectonic Tetro at War!
- Fun Puyo Puyo Hell! (from Puyo Puyo Fever. This game was actually localized, it should be familiar!)
- Surge of Crimson Shouts (Final boss theme from Puyo Puyo Fever 2)
- Final Pair Puyo Deathmatch!! (Final boss theme from Puyo Puyo!! 20th Anniversary)
- Puyo Puyo no Uta Piko Piko Mix (Puyo Puyo!! 20th Anniversary credits theme. Remix of Puyo Puyo 7's theme)
- It's Been A While Since We Passed Through Space-Time - Vocal Mix (Based off of Arle's theme from Puyo Puyo! 15th Anniversary) (which itself is a modern remix of the original Theme of Puyo Puyo)
I think I forgot some stuff... anyways, you are getting more than your money's worth if you buy the full version of Puyo Puyo Tetris. $30 is a steal. To put things into perspective, the original PS3 version was $60 with 30% of the current content cut out and sold as DLC lol
Why no PS4 demo? Is there a mode in this game identical to Tetris Ultimate's battle? Also, is it possible to disable the "hold" function?
Wow the english voices are so godawful that i am about to cancel my preorder if the game wont give me the option for original voices.
Anyone some info on that?
So weirdly, matches are now only best of one round, instead of being two by default in the Japanese demo with the option to go up to three. If you go to that same menu on the English demo, it won't budge past one round.
Not...earth shattering or anything, but does mean you'll be booted back to the title screen to setup more often.
I don't get this game. The Tetris part I'm familiar with, but the other stuff looks strange to me.
Is this a good and deep puzzle game, or are we talking Candy Crush type depth here?

Downloading. I'm glad i can finally test the hd rumbles...
I really like the English voices, to be honest. Can't wait to hear more of English Draco who, judging by gameplay footage, is much improved over her awful JPN voice.

bad take
gaoooooo
Good to know.
How many playthroughs you estimate before a newcomer understands how to play? Never played it before and I'm thinking of trying it out with my SO.
Uh, is the AI set to be wayyyyy easier in the US version? I have trouble sometimes w the JP demo and this one I've demolished the AI every time even with handicap.
Also some BS that it's set to 1 round.
Compile literally had the woman who designed their instruction manuals voice Draco in Sun, and she was more bearable that Kaori Nazuka's shrieking. We'll have to agree to disagree on this lol

I actually liked the English voices. It was hard to bear some of the high pitched anime girl voices in the Japanese demo.
Uh, "Jap" is a racial slur.Do we have the option for jap dubs?
This is legit the first time i actually cared.
Try the Tutorials. There's some in the game.
And Sega just uploaded some to their YT.
Can someone kindly tell me the remaining Puyo characters that are unavailable in the Demo?
Satan
Wonder what he'll be localized as? There's no way Sega is gonna get away with that in the US.

Dark Prince, which was previously used in some old localized version
Personally probably fine, but a lot of people on here are quite Hyperbolic about the quality of the voicework in the English version, when their real issue is they just got used the the Japanese version.I suppose that's fair. Wonder how his English dub will be?
