Oh man, please Sega!

 

[sixteen-bit]

Asian English release incoming?

 

[Shivering]

Holding out hope for this to come to Xbox if it does release stateside! I've played like 100 hours already w/ my Japanese copy but I'll gladly shell out again to navigate menus without memorization or a guide.

 

[Dr. Black Jack]

Watch it be digital only.

 

[JB2448]

Note the English logo, too.
This is definitely happening.

 

[FloppyDelux]

Watch it be digital only.

thats fine ill buy it eventually.

 

[xxracerxx]

Watch it be digital only.

If it comes here, I fully expect this.

 

[Vital Tundra]

Why it didn't happen earlier is beyond me. Like, how much would a localization cost? Can't be much.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Oh wow, I would love to buy this on PS4! C'mon Tetris Company and Sega!

 

[RedToad64]

I'd be there day one.

 

[CanUKlehead]

Jesus...one of the three PS4 discs I actually own. I'd doubledip on a downloadable version on my UK account.

Ubisoft has the Western rights to Tetris this generation, IIRC.

Ubi has Tetris license in the west, I think.

 

[Izuna]

Don't do this to me.

It BETTER hit Xbone too

Is this a not shit version of Tetris? I don't even know what this puyo business is.

;/ no, it's basically a serious, pro-allowed tetris that CAN be mixed with Puyo Puyo if you like

 

[Hot Coldman]

We don't know that this is still true. Considering Ubi has done fuck all with the rights...

 

[Sayad]

We don't know if they still have it now but we do know that the license issue is what prevented a western version around the game's launch and not localization as Vital Tundra was wondering.

 

[Izuna]

You can but you need a Japanese PSN account and add money to that account to download it. Once you do that you can play it on your regular account no problem though.

There's no digital release of this for Xbox One or PS4.

 

[Roberto Larcos]

The wife has already approved me double dipping.

I'm ready.

I pray for your wife that you're doing things in the correct order.

 

[Shizuka]

There's no digital release of this for Xbox One or PS4.

There is a physical release and both systems are region-free. Assuming the Asian version gets a retail print, you can just import a physical copy.

I don't need that for myself. I have the JP version of the Xbone one (got it close to release date actually).

Digital is far better, English or not, because then more people can play with each other.

I think I posted a link as to why there wasn't a digital release in the OT.

 

[RecRoulette]

Ah right, my mistake was thinking of the last gen versions.

You can buy Tetris Ultimate on PSN, eShop, Xbox Live and Steam. Ubisoft still has the console license. For how much longer? I don't know.

 

[The12thGripper]

Gimme that physical and you got my money, SEGA.

 

[Chairhome]

We play the ps4 one regularly in this household. Hope it gets a US release so more people can experience the brilliance

 

[18-Volt]

Come on, Sega, this can't be played on a home console. Perfect for a handheld, don't forget 3DS version, please.

 

[Danis Saur]

Yakuza AND Puyo Puyo Tetris on the West...

Wait, this thread is older? Why are there two?!

 

[G0523]

Holy shit this would be amazing if true! I literally have the import version in my cart on Amazon but I can't pull the trigger since it's like $40. Now I really have to hold off.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

I'd buy it again. This game is damn good.

 

[Hyrule Warrior]

Damn, lol and here I was just thinking I'd buy a copy of this when I go to Japan next week. Guess that'll save me money.

[nikos]

Resisted temptation so many times. Will pick up on day one for sure.

 

[Danis Saur]

Will get, thanks Sega.

 

[remz]

Don't fuck around SEGA, gimme dat puyo pop

 

[Nocturno999]

It's Sega there's an 80% chance that I will end angry.

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

I am assuming there will be no 3DS or Vita versions, at least without some extra effort, as those were released alongside the other last gen versions. The PS4/XBONE versions contain additional features and QOL adjustments that were never backported in JP.

Edit: dicks back in?

[Halabane]

Imported this awhile ago and loved it. Would really like to better understand what seemed like a storyish/progression element. The gameplay was lots of fun and easy to play but a challenge to win.

I played on the PS4. I love my vita and 3ds but I am not sure this would be a great game on the small screen. I will have to throw it back in and give it wirl. I think the smaller screen and the two stacks tighter together could be a bit overwhelming. not sure. on the other hand it could also be better to see how the other guy is doing.

 

[Type40]

Day one, Would love to have these menu's in english.

Like we talking bout surprise, we somehow brought to the west or surprise, I don't know where this coming from? lol

But anyways, I need this Tetris. I've never played it but it straight up looks awesome. And Ubisoft ain't doing Tetris any justice at all especially with that wack console version.

 

[Geneijin]

I'd double dip

Spoiler

And bring Puyo Puyo Chronicles too

 

[Dandy Crocodile]

I'd buy it again, if only to serve as motivation for me to actually learn how to play Puyo.

 

[Zubz]

No game would be worth an imported PS4, but this is a close choice. Glad to see we may actually be getting it, but dreading to see how Ubisoft ruins this.

PS4 is region-free, you'd only need to import the game itself if it was an Asian English exclusive.

 

[LimitedTimeGamer]

THE LAST OF MY JP EXCLUSIVE PS4 games!

Im happy, and saddened at the same time, cause now i have to double dip!

 

[CertifiedFP]

I know this is ultimately a pointless question to ask since noone plays Tetris for a story (Right... Right?), but the trophy list that's up... Is it in English, or Southeast Asian """English"""? Especially important since that Atlus producer is surprised by this as well.

Gonna say right now it'll be a bare minimum Google-translate localization to be sent-to-die in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the Phillipines as it almost always is in instances like this. Especially since it would be a hell of a breakthough (0% chance) for Sega to be able to publish a Tetris game in the west on EA and Ubisoft's watch.

 

[Timeaisis]

C'mon c'mon c'mon

I hope you're aware that Tetris DS was the favourite for professional tournaments a while back

 

[xzeldax3]

I would be shocked if this is released!

There are still two different threads for this for some reason. It's making discussion hard to follow.
