Nyoki Nyoki: Tabidachi Hen is the newest game from Puyo Puyo creator Masamitsu Niitani and his company Compile Maru. Ahead of its playable debut at BitSummit this weekend, it’s confirmed to be in development for 3DS.

Here’s what we know thus far:

– Falling object puzle game
– Try to match color and horizontally line up falling “Nyoki Nyoki” to build up attack power to prevent from being buied under “Ojama”
– This can be activated at any time
Given that it’s assumed two people are fighting against each other, the official genre name is “fighting puzzle”
– Handicap mode: “2 Colors vs. 5 Colors”
– This mode will allow advanced players and beginners to face off against each other

Nyoki Nyoki: Tabidachi Hen is due out later this summer in Japan for 800 yen. View some screenshots below.

The game may also have more story than Sticker Star, a game that was seemingly stripped of its narrative by generally beloved Nintendo design guru Shigeru Miyamoto, who other Nintendo developers said had suggested that game be as story-light as possible. Reminded of that comment, Tabata said,

At E3, Kotaku spoke with Nintendo producer Risa Tabata about Paper Mario: Color Splash. When the topic of story came up and how much plot the game will feature compared to Sticker Star, she said:

“This time we have–I don’t know if I want to say a proper story–but we have a story (laughs). It starts from kind of mysterious opening.. You’re not sure what is going on, and as you go through the story, you’ll realize, oh this is what happens. And there’s a lot of interesting stuff that happens with you and Huey.”

Tabata also said that Color Splash lets players carry 99 cards. That’s “a bit more than Sticker Star”, where you were more limited with the number of stickers that could be held. And as a response to criticism from the last game: “to make it a lot easier this time, we’ve put a lot of hints in the game.” Hints are optional, and will be shared by asking partner character Huey (the paint can) for advice.
