Puyo Puyo Tetris includes a neat little Versus mode. The rules are quite simple: one player takes on a game of Tetris while the other is put in charge of Puyo Puyo. When playing Puyo Puyo, traditional Puyo Puyo Tsu are used, so erasing puyos drops nuisance puyos on the other player’s board. Tetris, on the other hand, makes use of classic Tetris rules.

There’s another mode in Puyo Puyo Tetris, too. Swap mode features a game board for Tetris and another for Puyo Puyo. Players switch off on the games when the time runs out.

A few months ago, there were reports that Renesas Electronics would be shutting down its plants, including one that handles Wii U’s embedded DRAM. However, a few Japanese sources such as Nihon Keizai Shimbu, Toyo Keizai, Nikkei, Reuters, Sankei Digital, Mainichi and Asahi Digital say Sony could end up acquiring the Tsuruoka plant. Indeed: that’s where Wii U’s eDRAM is produced.

Japanese outlets claim that the acquisition could begin as early as next week. Sony appears to be interested in Renesas Electronics so that it can enhance production of its CMOS sensors for smartphones.

When news first emerged of Renesas’ potential closure, Nintendo said at the time that Wii U production would not be affected.
