I first knew the Puyo Puyo games as
Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine
If you had an SNES you might know it as
Kirby's Avalanche / Kirby's Ghost Trap
One of it's last releases in the West was
Puyo Pop Fever
way back in 2004, after that it's been pretty much been stuck in Japan ever since. Even iOS games are left as Japan only.
I've actually imported some of the later DS games. Now I can't even do that with the 3DS
If not a full retail release in the West, why hasn't Sega or some other company put the 3DS game on the eShop, for Western gamers? To me, Digital Download puzzle games on portable consoles seem like a perfect match for each other.
Has the Japanese Puyo Puyo art style hurt it's appeal in the West? Or do people just not care about the Puyo Puyo series?
