Well, that would be crazy.
Ngl, with a little polish here and there, this could work as a really good reveal trailer. Bonus points if Sonic was involved somehow.
I rather imagined a trailer where Dr Mario and Arle competed, you know because Dr Mario is originally from a puzzle game
I know jump man is technically mario or like his dad or something, has nintendo made comments somewhere about mario starting there? They might just wanna skip that
I honestly don't think it is very likely that we would be getting any SEGA character that isn't from Yakuza, Sonic, or Puyo Puyo. Those three series are SEGA's top franchises (especially Sonic, the gap between it and Puyo Puyo is actually enormous), and SEGA has been pushing them kinda hard lately. If the ballot is still being taken into account then I doubt Yakuza would be very likely either, so if I were to guess, assuming we get a SEGA character, it would probably be either Tails, Eggman, or Arle. Depending on how this pass goes, I'm not sure how likely getting a SEGA character altogether would be. Especially if they plan on leaning towards first-party characters as they have with Min Min. I don't personally believe that that is going to be the case but it might. In conclusion, I have no clue but I hope and I genuinely think Arle's chances are decent.So apart from liking the games and being a fan of what Arle could bring to Smash, what kind of chances do we think she / Puyo Puyo has for Smash? Trying to think of if Sega were to get another rep, who it would be instead of Arle? I'm not thinking that any Sega fighting game character would get in unless I'm missing a super popular one (Axel I guess is well known, but with Terry and shotos, I don't know...), I don't think Yakuza would get in just because it feels out of place, and I'm not really seeing any Sonic character added as DLC.
That leaves Arle, the monkeys from Super Monkey Ball, Billy Hatcher, Alex Kidd, and NiGHTS? Maybe? I'd like any of them, but I feel like Puyo Puyo is still an active series with a lot of fans in a genre that doesn't get that many recurring games.
I'm sure you guys have talked about this a ton in the past, just with announcements probably coming sometime soon, I'm excited to see who we might be getting and I'm really hoping it could be Arle.
Puyo puyo tetris sold over 1 million just on the switch, and that was just something i saw from 2018. Doesn't seem too bad ;p
Sonic has 360 million overall sales while Puyo Puyo has approximately 27 million. Which is an enormous gap considering Puyo is SEGA's second best-selling franchise.
lol sure. Overall a big gap. But 27 million is nothing to sneeze at especially if it's getting more popular. Persona wasn't really that poplar before 5, and joker still made it in. But fair enough, thanks for clarifying
Yeah 27 million is far bigger than I initially expected when I first searched it up. It's an impressive amount for sure.lol sure. Overall a big gap. But 27 million is nothing to sneeze at especially if it's getting more popular. Persona wasn't really that poplar before 5, and joker still made it in. But fair enough, thanks for clarifying
Sweet! I figured Sonic was the most popular by far, but that’s good to hear Puyo Puyo is second. I haven’t played any of the Switch releases. I really love Tetris too so maybe I’ll give both a shot!
And that number's only after Sega acquired the rights to the series, so the number might be a fair bit higher if we could count the old Compile era alongside the current Sega one.
It's pretty insane considering just how many relatively big series SEGA has under its umbrella.
Not to mention that number was released at around 2018 if I remember correctly, so any sales that were made in the past 2 years are also unaccounted for. Which means that that number probably doesn't even include PPC
Am I the only person who genuinely believes the newer games are better in terms of artstyle, music and character design?
I love the aesthetics of Puyu Puyo Tetris and Puyo Puyo Champions personally. They're definitely brighter and cuter and more anime-esque though, so I can understand if that's a direction that some of the original fans pre-Puyo aren't a fan of.
The compile games literally had the most basic anime art style from that era in time.

Woah there. I have nothing against Panel de Pon, but let's be real here. Puyo Puyo needs all the support it can get right now and pairing up the series with what's the most popular puzzle series worldwide again is easily a great way to bring it to the forefront. This is most definitely NOT a horse's mouth you want to look into; fans of other characters only wish they could get news like these.
I'm thinking that they may add most, if not all, the chronicle characters that they put into champions. Other than that, I think it'd be really cool if they added a sega crossover character like Sakura. But that's more wishful thinking on my part.
Do you wonder why they're calling this Adventure mode new when it just sounds like the last game's story mode?
Sounds like a solid guess! I definitely imagine they'll import a lot of the newcomers from Champions into this, especially the ones from Chronicles. I don't know if the ones from Quest who got into Champions are now going to become series mainstays or what though... Lidelle also seems possible, given how she cameoed in the previous Tetris game...
They said it's a "brand-new story," so I assume it's a pseudo-sequel... or something. I imagine the levels will be new to match the new mechanics/modes, at least.
