@OutofPrintArchive@mstdn.games Rofl, they called it a "potential sequel to Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine?" Not, uhm, you know, a actual sequel to Puyo Puyo 1? ๐คฃ
Wasn't Puyo Puyo 2 already out long before the Saturn anyway? Rather than potential sequel, that would make it potential port, no?
@nazokiyoubinbou@urusai.social
Well, in the west we only know about Mean Bean Machine and Kirby's Ghost Trap for the longest time.
Puyo Puyo 2 was originally released in the arcade with a Mega Drive and Game Gear port releasing soon after in Japan.
About a year later the game released on Saturn as well as PC-98 and was then ported to just about every system in existence.
The last port was on Switch under the Sega Ages label by M2 actually.
@OutofPrintArchive@mstdn.games Yeah, I got the Switch port. I've rather enjoyed the Puyo Puyo games for some time, but their history is too complicated to keep up with. ๐
@nazokiyoubinbou
It's a bit messy with those rebrandings for the west. But overall it's pretty straight forward. ๐
I actually just rebought Puyo Puyo Sun on my PS3 as a PSone classic from the Japanese shop.
I have had it for nearly 25 years on Saturn, but it's just convenient to have it on a somewhat modern system as well.
Still need to Pick up Puyo Puyon and Box on PSone as well.
Have the first one on Dreamcast, but again, convenience. ;)
