Damn, I was hoping they'd snuck in the JP voices.

So is this dropping on 12am tonight or some awkward time on Tuesday for NA?

I've been wondering, do the characters do anything different or are they just there for the different voice lines?

It's a fantastic game. Been playing it all last week and weekend.
My review is here (8.5 out of 10).

I want to know this too. IIRC, in Puyo Pop, characters had unique patterns of differently shaped puyos.

In fusion mode they have different drop sets. Maybe also in party but not 100% on that one

Party as well

I expect this game to be in my top 5 end of the year.
Only on Fusion and Party mode they make a difference. In Fusion the shape of pieces you get are determined by character, in Party the type of items that occur more often change per character. It shows it on the character screen in those modes.

It was $40 on the eshop temporarily before Sega fixed the whoopsies.
It's quite ironic how SEGA is releasing a Tetris game on a Nintendo system, when Nintendo had locked them out of producing a console Tetris back in the NES/Gameboy days.
I think it's still that way and they are only allowed to price the boxed release higher because of the added content(keychains?!)?
-If not for that, perhaps its only Nintendos stance on this and they won't price their own digital games lower than the boxed ones because reasons? Time will tell I guess, also when you look at the pricing on the PSN Store the games are often less expensive in their disc versions too.

I dont buy the keychains being justification for higher price. I think it's just production costs on carts.
My local store got the game in early (this past Friday) for Switch, they said they didn't have any keychains. I waited though since I want the keychains and Amazon Prime discount

I'm sure this is correct, but including the keychains is the workaround for whatever formal or informal policy of price parity exists.
Speaking of the keychains, have there been any pics posted for scale?

They didn't have any keychains because they're packaged in the outer box of every single copy of the first (only?) print run. It's impossible to buy the game physically in NA or whatever country offers the keychains without getting them.

I'm torn what to buy physical or digital, same for Mario Kart. I know I'm gonna want it all the time but physical is cheaper and neat to have, in the event it goes rare. Just the convenience of digital is nice too, to just have a collection on the system ready to go.

You sure chose a glorious example.
As far as I know it basically just re-enabled streaming/sharing.
Was disabled up until release for some reason.

I'll tell you the reason I decided to go digital: I own the japanese version on ps4 and I've played it a lot less than I would have if I didn't have to change the disc every time I wanted to play a few rounds. So this way I have PuTet and MK8D at the same time and switch between them at my whim. Yay!

That is a good point, I already own the japanese version on Xbox and PS4, forgot to mention that
I wrote a little beginners guide to Puyo chaining ages ago, so this could be a good time to share it here! Hopefully my writing style hasn't aged too badly. I probably tried a bit too hard to be funny.

Really happy to see that Puyo gets another chance in the west, Tetris is the perfect buddy to get this game in more peoples hands!
Now we just need another Puzzle League title and somehow crowbar it in there as well, if Intelligent Systems could stop making Fire Emblem for a week.

Apparently GameStop will be selling the Switch version at 9 pm tonight. I don't know if that was brought up here yet.

here's hoping it goes live on the eshop at that time too.

All locations? Wonder why they are selling it early?

I assume so. The two stores near me are. They did the same thing with Has Been Heroes a few weeks ago.
Boy am I glad I got the Japanese copy. Asami Imai the goddess voices Ringo. Ringo's voice in English is terrible.

Anyone know what time the Switch version will be available on the eShop?

Indeed. I hate having to get this on disc for PS4.
I love watching japanese Puyo battles. Back when I played Kirbys Avalanche I had no idea that this type of game filled entire stadiums.

Third-party games go up at noon on release day, eastern time. I am not aware of Nintendo ever releasing an eShop game at midnight that is not their own.
So yeah, tomorrow at noon.
Mentioned this in the other thread, I am hopelessly bad at Puyo. Decent at best playing Tetris though, the wheels tend to come off quickly though haha. Will grab this for my switch down the line, but I think I'm content with the PS4 version for the time being. Hoping this sells well, it's absolutely worth the price.
