That frankly depends - while Puyo has gained a new-found presence in the West, lots of it's lore is still locked behind Japan. Dunno what I'd feel them to try replacing that with original lore and stuff.
I'd give it some time first.
Personally, I'd prefer a more "encompassing" solution of going into EVERYONE'S (Madou-era, Fever-era, and PP7 casts) histories from time to time. I mean, obviously the Fever-era exclusive elements do NEED to be fleshed out after having so much buildup and then suddenly being dropped post-Fever 2.
I guess you have a point there. This being said though, I do hope SEGA don't skimp out on the opportunity to work on a Puyo/Madou comic. Maybe if they got IDW to work on it, it wouldn't so bad?
The Strider Effect is when people only care about or know of something because of the media that they were exposed to.
Huh, I had more thought of Morrigan Aensland than Strider fitting this bill though, since Darkstalkers is more or less the F-Zero of Capcom - a widely beloved franchise which got ignored by them after mere 3 games. Then gets only handwaved at via crossover appearances to the point that most people know Morrigan only from the numerous crossover fighters she's been in rather than her own series.
That is actually more correct. Darkstalkers is definitely a series that is heavily overshadowed and it's characters (especially Morrigan) is only known because of crossovers. And a dead series to the bot.
Given the comical natural of the series, I punt we will truly get an evil antagonist that isn't quirky or want to destroy worlds. That would require something like a complete tine shift or else it will be pretty jarring.
Pretty much.
And, you know, Puyo Puyo being heavily influenced by the series to begin with. The fact that it got real cutesy basically took away from what many enjoyed about it, and that was Arle being a douchebag to random creatures from around her world. And some of her comments got pretty dark at times. Maybe that's why Kirby was such a douche in Avalanche, now that I think about it.Pretty much.
Not to mention that Madou Monogatari started off as kind of dark, even more-so on the PC-98-versions (You can go look them up but I tell you, they can get quite graphic and nightmare fuel-inducing pretty quick)
However, sometimes the series dwells bit on more melancholic moments, as I can remember from games like PP7 and PPT's conflict behind the plot (Regarding mainly X). So it's not like the series is beyond dwelling on more serious themes.
Personally, I’d like a more serious take on Puyo Puyo. But I don’t want the fun sucked out of the story. There needs to be a nice balance. If that never happens I’d settle for a one time return to YON’s art style, I’d love to see how the Sega characters would be interpreted.
I'm open to them trying for a SUN look if they don't want it to be too serious. I mean making Arle's original world very bubbly still if they ever transport to it, cause as you know, they have yet to even bring up Arle's home world in the Sonic Team series. Lots of potential for a very cool homage to the original by Compile. I would even be impressed if they contacted Compile Heart to assist with development to give it the best writing possible in Arle's world.
Especially in the sequel to Fever. Many still consider him to look the best there.
I would unironically play the game if this is real.
Oh I will.
Detective Conan is a great anime.
I'm just wondering what they intend to do with Detective Conan? Could we be getting a Klug/Conan team-up...?
Both are big and popular. What's only stopping them is the approval of Oda and Toriyama.
Exactly! Honestly, for the sake of promotion, I can see:
Literally the best Easter Egg ever.Oh man, guys, Sonic Mania is amazing. Never thought I would have this much fun with these games again.
I am also moved that they would go through the effort to place Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine into the canon in some way.![]()
Yeah, I enjoyed it a ton. Though, I am sad they did not use Sticker of Puyo Puyo for the multiplayer music.
Kind of wish they had Amitie's ENTIRE outfit, but I'll take this. Still, it looks weird with ONLY her hat.
Amazing how SEGA's treating Puyo, Yakuza, and the like these days, huh?
I find it weird too. I wouldn't mind dressing my OC in Amitie's full outfit. Wasted potential there.
That's rather vague. Will it be an original RPG or a crossover with Shin Megami Tensei. I don't see how the latter would work since the games are dark and involve demon summoning. Not to say the series used to be dark in its own RPG's.
This would possibly be a collab (of some sort) on the Atlus/SEGA IP, Shin Megami Tensei and the SEGA IP, PUyo Puyo. To say I’d like to see this happen would be a bit of an understatement, but I do have a question.
At best I can only see a SMT style RPG with Puyo Puyo working. But less dark. I can't see the characters really meshing well with the cute style, the SMT demons and characters. And given the negative fan reaction to Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE, the SMT fanbase would hate a more silly and cutesy take on the series. There's already enough controversy with Persona fans.
Exactly. That’s what makes it so fitting. That being said, I'm actually VERY curious as to how the cast of Fever 1/Fever 2/Puyo 7 would translate into a game like this. Then again, Persona 3, 4, and 5(?) had high school kids as the main protags, so...
Wait, you mean that Melee mod of Smash 4, right? Looks pretty good, if you ask me.
Honestly, I still can't believe Puyo Puyo is actually starting to be relevant in the West...in its ORIGINAL form! Meaning NO re-skins or any of that crud.
