SEGA released some extensive new gameplay footage of Puyo Puyo Chronicle today:
The folks at Gematsu have also translated some new info that was released at gamer.ne.jp today.
A new feature of Puyo Puyo Chronicle is the new “Skill Battle” rule. Players form a team of up to three characters and have to make good use of the skills that each character has. There are two types of skills – “Auto Skills” are triggered automatically under certain conditions, whereas “Special Skills” have to be manually activated by pressing the X button and cost MP.
Skills can have a variety of effects – changing the state of the puzzle field, recovering HP and so on. Each character has a variety of skills to choose from, and they also get more powerful the more you use them. Skills can help you beat the game even if you aren’t that good at puzzle games.
Head past the break for some new characters and the skills they possess:

In an interview with Maxi-Geek, Tantalus Media CEO Tom Crago stated that his studio has been working on projects for the Switch. According to Crago, the studio, which developed The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD, has been working on unannounced titles “for some time”. Crago also stated that Nintendo has made the development process “friendly and systematic,” and that he is personally excited for the Switch’s portability. He also suggested that, if Nintendo fans have any particular titles that they want to see ported, that they should suggest them through Tantalus’s Facebook page.
The full interview can be read here. Crago teased that there would be news soon, but for now we can only wait and speculate what they might be working on.
