Part of the issue is that for some reason light gray in this video is too close to "white" (so three of the puyos look nearly identical when that shouldn't be the case), but yeah for the later games they gave the puyos more unique patterns rather than using checkerboard to fake two more shades.
No. You missed the ENTIRE point of the video. This is a comparison of the versions/ports of the original 1991 Puyo Puyo (and most of the more advanced systems being ports of the 1992 Arcade one). The reason non-PuyoPuyo-branded games are in this video is because they're reskins of mostly the same engine, the most blatant of which being Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine. (which, by the way, was so blatant because it was just a localization, since the original mega drive version never made it out of japan). If Sonic Mania should've been a part of this, then why not the original and remakes of Puyo Puyo Tsuu? Why not the entire series? Because that's not the point of the video. The video showcases the similarities between the versions/ports of the first game in spirit.
The FM Towns version is baffling. Every version besides it and the Game Boy looks quite nice and fun. Smooth, too My faves are the Genesis, PC98, SNES, X68000, Game Gear and PC Engine ports. The localizations are neat too
Looks like I discovered your channel at just the right time! I love Puyo Puyo, I love how significant the franchise is to Japanese culture and its fun to play too! I remember back in 2019 there was a surge of RUclipsrs trying out Puyo Puyo for the first time so seeing it on this channel now is so awesome!
Everyone: “FM Towns” The actual system name: “FM Towns *Marty* ” But honestly though, my favorite version has to be the Turbografx CD version for the voice acting alone.
BANGER! I love so much Puyo Puyo! And i like how you add Mean Bean Machine and Kirby Avalanche/Ghost Trap too. One thing is the JP Arcade and World Arcade have different voice acting. Characters name are different and obiously the JP version has JP text.
The guy who made Puyo puyo is a nurse assistant now for a nursing home or something. He sadly sold the rights to Puyo puyo to Sega to keep his business afloat for a few more years, but then Compile, one of the best video game companies of all time, went bankrupt.
The different names of most of the characters in the English arcade game made me do a bit of letter-changing with the original names based on the next piece preview names, for example, Draco Centauros is Drago Gentauros.
As iconic as "Theme of Puyo Puyo" is am I alone in thinking that most versions of the song were absolutely grating on the ears? It's a very complicated tune, to be sure, but some of that instrumentation just made it a painful listen. Nothing like Korobeiniki. At least modern arrangements make the song feel less like it's trying to kick the door to your sanity down. Also, excellent compilation!
I like that for the nes version if theres at least 3 blobs next to each other then the middle one just looked like its derping out from looking at both of the blobs at once😂
Sega Mark III/Master System was already discontinued in Japan by the time of this game's release in 1991. Game Gear version of Puyo Puyo if played on an American Game Gear displays Puzlow Kids and used an English translation. Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine wasn't released in Japan until later. Kirby's Avalanche/Kirby's Ghost Trap wasn't even released in Japan at all. The Game version is best played on the Super Game Boy. The PC Engine CD has voice acting and 8-bit audio it's awesome. Honorable mention is Puyo Pop on the Nokia N-Gage.
I remember not too long ago I tried installing the Winsows 95 version on my Windows 11 laptop. It didn't work. Either it couldn't boot up or made my anti-virus angry, so I gave up and downloaded Puyo Puyo Sun, which looking back was the right option. It's a much better port than this. Those animations and music are terrible! My personal favorite is the Super Famicom. Yeah, its in a lower resolution, but that music is incredible. I also like Kirby's Avalanche. It's very charming somehow and fits surprisingly well. I also love how sassy Kieby can be. Mean Bean Machine sucks. Ugly and terrible music. Also, the Master System port is literally just the Game Gear, but more zoomed out. Thanks TecToy... There was also a PS1 version in a compilation called Puyo Puyo Box. It's a port of the Mega Drive version. Then there's also an N-Gage version strangely named Puyo Pop, desite being a port of the original. It's got new music and weirdly color characters, like blue haired Draco, but it's one of the better handheld versions actually.
Holy crap the Windows and Macintosh versions' soundtrack is bad. Almost sounds like a bootleg. Speaking of bootlegs, you missed the Spectrum Holobyte version, Qwirks. It replaces the characters with uncanny looking pre-rendered animals that look like they were made using only simple 3D primitive shape templates.

It makes me wonder how the Game Boy version ever made it out to market without someone thinking they should perhaps shade the different puyo's a bit.
if you look closely, the puyos have different shapes, though I can’t imagine that really helped much lol
@@poble I did notice it, but it doesn't really help much at all lol. Being dyslexic they all jumble together.
Part of the issue is that for some reason light gray in this video is too close to "white" (so three of the puyos look nearly identical when that shouldn't be the case), but yeah for the later games they gave the puyos more unique patterns rather than using checkerboard to fake two more shades.
You might as will just be blindfolded
😐 how to play go puyo puyo: look at shapes and connect and go blind
kinda surprised they ported it to almost everything that was available at the time considering most versions didn't leave japan
Man nobody gonna point out how the developers of the Turbographix version went out of their way to have Voice Actors voice the pre-battle scenes 💀
And THEN everyone wants to say the acting is bad.
Some of us: it’s good (or better)
@@TheChompChamp7650 Really? Draco and Arle's voices sounded totally fine to me.
アルルやドラコの声はTG16版はプロの声優、それ以外は制作したコンパイルの社員または広島のラジオ局の女性アナウンサーのはずです。
ik the voice acting is so good
GB is just a what if scenario where Arle was colorblind.
They even got the music for each scenes wrong
@@NinjaCacodemon_IsSus what a waste of work.
I think Sonic Mania should've been a part of this, since it basically has a full-fledged Puyo Puyo mode in its Extras
Also "Sonic" made it into "Puyo Puyo Tetris 2"!
@@yousefslimani99 YUSS
@greenknight9000 But that’s an extra game mode in a Sonic game, not an official Puyo game.

What doing a crossover with Tetris does to a franchise, am I right?

FM Towns is the name of the PC, the Marty is only the consolised version of it afaik

“drugo”
can't go wrong with some good ol' fashioned puyo.
Yep
Also featuring Dr. Eggman and Kirby.
and Sonic
@@TheChompChamp7650Sonic doesn't appear at all in Mean Bean Machine.

55:06 And then Draco rotated
I loved watching this video, and it would be cool if there was a comparison version of Ancient Ys Vanished Omens. And a hug here for Brazil!
There's something weirdly ironic about seeing Kirby have dialogue, in a Puyo Puyo game of all things! (>'o')> puyo!
(>'o')> kirby
Shoulda been called poyo poyo imo

That's something I've been waiting to see in a long time, but now it's here. Can you do Puyo Puyo Tsuu and Sun next?
Draco looks so high in the Windows 3.1 version.
Mess one: Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine
... I grew up with the rebranded version, Dr robotniks mean bean machine lol...
I think, Sonic Mania may be in this compilation too.
I agree😌
@CrimsonShadow93 But that’s an extra game mode in a Sonic game, not an official Puyo game.
If we're also covering localized reskins of Puyo Puyo here, how come Qwirks wasn't included?
You know that there is a version of puyo puyo in SONIC MANIA
I like how Kirby pisses everyone off with his s a s s
41:44 mmmm I like the echo voice acting 😋
47:05 lol it’s a drugo
2:31 nice transition

You forgot Bug Drop from Timon and Pumbaa's Jungle Games
41:17 Yo, TGCD Version looks awesome to me.
Ah dang it! No version where you play this as Sonic again Dr Eggman as a boss fight.
Talking Kirby?
Jesus take the wheel.
Wait I remember this…
*Kirby trash talking everyone memories intensify*
While the games NEVER left Japan Tetris attack on the SNES in English pretty much plays the same way.
I played puyo/mean bean machine for about 4 years
Is it just me or Arle sounded depper in the arcade version?
Kirby says Poyo!
ファミコンディスクシステム版よりもMSX2版よりも先に“やたらとシンプル”なぷよぷよの画像を（ファミマガ雑誌？で）見たことがあるんだけど、あれは何だったんだろう？

Looks nice
i have a tetris tournament coming up today on gb color
So with my easter eggs i turned them into puyos
bro needs to watch how to play this game with large chains
Очень познавательно.👍
draco is just dunk on the macintosh version

The reverb effect ruins the audio
Who tf thought a GB version is acceptable
Idk, Nintendo or smth?
And also at least they tried
The one you showed wasn't a Genesis version, but a Japanese Megadrive one.
OMG one of my favorite puzzle game of all time! I love it more than "Tetris" and "Super puzzle fighter 2 turbo!!"
Where are NINTENDO 64'S PUYO PUYO SUN ? The best version ever made?
This is Puyo Puyo *one* not *sun* 😊
