I first got interested in the game when Sega made a version based on the Adventures of Sonic the Hedehog series called "Dr. Robotnick's Mean Bean Machine". It is one of the puzzle games I actually enjoy playing and still enjoy playing it to this very day.

I also played the online version, but didn't like it so much since you had to use the mouse to click the movements of your puyos.

When I got the computer, I finally played the versions from Compile via roms. The games I played were Super Puyo Puyo, Super Puyo Puyo Tsu, Puyo Puyo~n, Puyo Puyo Sun, Puyo Pop, Haro no Puyo Puyo (with Gundam characters), and the RPG Madou Monogatari. Most of them were in Japanese, but I got a clear understanding on how to play them.

I currently own Puyo Pop Fever for my DS Lite.

Anyways, while looking at a Game Ads site and their official site I noticed some of my favourite characters from Puyo Puyo will be intergrated with the cast from Puyo Pop Fever in the Puyo Puyo! 15th Anniversary Collection from Sega. (The characters are Suketoudara, Nasu Grave, Rulue, Schezo Wegey, Arle, Carbuncle, Zo-Daimaoh, and Satan-sama.) It also features characters from Puyo pop Fever Tsu.

Yeah, Complied was bought by Sega. I also did a collection of Puyo Puyo related fan-art here. As you can see, my fave character from the series has to be Satan-sama/Dark Prince. He's so funny chasing after Carbuncle.



I also saw the game on Yesasia.com and I wonder if it's compatable for US Nintendo DS. If it is, I'm buying it online or from import stores that I see in Baltimore.

Man, the last time I saw anything Puyo Puyo was in this video, or if you want to call the Jelly-like noteskin in Pump It Up Zero a Puyo Puyo tribute, that.

I digress. To answer your question, DS' and their games are all region-free, so it should work with no problems.

Definitely pick up PP! 15th. it's worth the purchase if you don't have PPF and PPF2. I recommend getting it from play-asia, since they're confirmed to have the "fixed" version up for sale.

I've been playing this game for about 3 years now, and I'm still amazed at what people can do in this game.

There's also a PPF PC version, that does require the mouse at all ^^; So you should probably look into that. Although the netplay is a bit laggy.

Look into the Puyo Puyo Museum Forums, you can find a lot of information there =)

I got mine on Ebay. I do hope it works well. If not, I can ask my local game store, GameBuzz, to buy it for me at PlayAsia.com.

Fortunately, GameFaqs has a nice code you can use to unlock everything. And thanks to Puyo Puyo Museum Forums, I like the look they gave to Satan-sama for the Anniversary Game.

Though I only own Mean Bean Machine meself, this is one of my favorite puzzle games ever. I'll need to find a copy of Puyo Pop one of these days...

You should make sure. The old versions have a rather unfortunate glitch in them.

The game autosaves at various points - but the old version will only do it 255 times, and you'll never be able to save again.

...also, I feel like showing off, so here's a video of me playing =D
