Puyo Puyo Tetris – a crossover of Puyo Puyo and Tetris – has been around in Japan since 2014, having released on just about every platform. With the Switch version as a Japanese launch title, it’s finally getting localized, albeit two months late. It goes without saying that Tetris is well known in the west with its release on every platform imaginable, though SEGA’s Puyo Puyo series is far less renowned internationally as it is in Japan. The last time a Puyo Puyo game saw an official international release was on GameCube in 2004.

Update: The World 1-1 Podcast group has issued a correction. Axiom Verge is not confirmed for Switch, as the focus is on the already-announced retail versions (such as Wii U).

Original: Axiom Verge creator Tom Happ appeared on the latest episode of the World 1-1 Podcast. While speaking about his game, a Switch version was finally confirmed. It will also have a physical release just like on Wii U, featuring a copy of the game, physical manual, making-of documentary, and potentially the soundtrack as well.

Tapp has spoken about wanting to have Axiom Verge on Switch multiple times. This is our first confirmation that it’s actually happening.
