Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 2 Comments
SEGA hasn’t had much to say about Project Sonic 2017 since the original announcement last July, but we are finally receiving an update soon. A Sonic panel will be hosted at SXSW 2017 next month, and a “new reveal” is planned for the game as well as Sonic Mania. An “exclusive behind-the-scenes look” is promised for both titles.
Sonic Team’s Takashi Iizuka will be on hand for the panel along with SEGA’s Aaron Webber and Mike Pollock plus voice actor Roger Craig Smith. Surprises are also teased.
The Sonic SXSW 2017 panel will be hosted on March 16 for about an hour beginning at 3 PM PT / 6 PM ET / 11 PM in the UK / 12 AM (March 17) in Europe.

Puyo Puyo Tetris launches in April, new trailer shows off different modes
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 8 Comments
Puyo Puyo Tetris will launch in the Americas on April 25 and Europe on April 28, SEGA announced today.
As previously mentioned, the game will be sold digitally for $30 and physically for $40. The latter option, available in “limited quantities”, is a special release with two Puyo Puyo and Tetris-themed keychains.
View a new trailer for Puyo Puyo Tetris below along with an overview of the game’s modes.
– Versus – Players compete head-to-head in either Puyo Puyo or Tetris to fight in the puzzle fight of their life.
– Swap – Players’ abilities are put to the ultimate test when they compete on both Puyo Puyo and Tetris boards, which switch back and forth at set intervals.
– Fusion – A true hybrid game where players compete with Puyos and Tetriminos together on the same board, requiring deft, on-the-fly thinking to become victorious.
– Big Bang – It’s a race to the finish as players compete against each other to clear unique challenge boards as quickly as possible to win.
– Party – Players compete on Puyo or Tetris boards, but the puzzles feature special items that when activated either help players or harm their opponents.

Puyo Puyo Tetris will be $10 less on the eShop
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 14 Comments
Some folks may have missed a noteworthy tidbit about Puyo Puyo Tetris’ pricing from last week’s announcement. At retail, the game will be $40. If you choose to go with the digital version, however, it’ll only be $30.
I personally prefer physical myself, especially in this case. Puyo Puyo Tetris is a “special launch edition” that “will only be available in quantities limited to pre-orders and first-run printings of the game in the Americas.”
