I'm going to buy ten copies.

 

[emb]

Oooh, physical confirmed. This is on my radar now. Could be fun as a launch game.

 

[Gaspard]

I imported this for vita but i'll double dip for Switch. So good

 

[Miker]

So weird that the PS4 version of a niche SEGA game is physical only. Probably not ideal for people who want to dip into Puyo here and there without putting in a disc. It's like I woke up in opposite land. That said, I'm not complaining, although I feel bad for Switch owners paying that new console tax when the system's launch is already barren besides Zelda.

In Canada:

Puyo Puyo Tetris is $55 on Switch.

https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01MZ9DJZK/
Compared to $40 on PS4.

Cartridge that expensive/inflated? Or am I looking at Nintendo tax?

 

[Baleoce]

This looks really good.

 

[LucidMomentum]

Wasn't going to buy a PS4 for this as it wouldn't be portable, but I am IN now.

 

[Tunesmith]

The best news to come out of this. No digital version for PS4 is weird and a bummer.

Last I checked Ubisoft still had the exclusive rights for digital distribution of Tetris outside of Japan on already existing platforms. The Switch is a different scenario.

 

[TylerDurden4321]

Imported it, but might buy it a second time for my Vita (there must be one coming, right? right???) if the price is right.

 

[Shizuka]

I wish they'd bring the other versions, not like it'll devalue the game. In any case, it looks really nice, maybe I'll get the PS4 version in a sale.

Its a special launch edition

 

[Cepheus]

I can't seem to find the game on Amazon UK...

 

[Lionheart]

No digital PS4 version? Pass

 

[Grim Patron]

What did you expect? The game is Japanese and probably did terrible in Japan on Xbox no point in bringing it over.

I think it is more to do with it forcing them to be physical and this game has no chance to sell well physically on Xbox One in NA

 

[Zocano]

ILOVEIT

TETURISU!

So getting this

We can only hope that Dr. Pedobear's English voice is worthy.

 

[Tapejara]

Nice to have it confirmed. Will be grabbing the PS4 version.

My guess is that if the PS4 version isn't being released digitally, chances are the Vita version wouldn't be able to be released digitally either, and SEGA probably can't justify doing a physical-only release of a Vita title outside of Japan.

 

[Pachimari]

I really want them to confirm a launch release in Europe too.

 

[Shizuka]

It doesn't make sense that the Switch version would have a digital release while the PS4 version won't. At this point, if you don't have any interest in doing a retail run, at least release the game digitally.

Ubisoft holds the Tetris digital distribution rights for existing platforms in the West.
Swtich is a new platform with presumably new contracts as I believe Ubisoft would not have been able to negotiate a "in perpetuity" deal with Tetris Company, thus SEGA can do a Western digital release there.

 

[Dranakin]

Day 1 purchase for the PS4.

 

[mugen812]

So if I have the Japanese version now, would that online play be compatible with the version that comes to the states?

 

[firehawk12]

Weird, the Switch version is limited?

 

[Vital Tundra]

So Switch has a digital version? My wife will love this game.

 

[Alex_Mexico]

Preordered Puyo Puyo Tetris for PS4 on Amazon.

Who would've thought that the most exciting announcement from yesterday was PPT for me?

We already knew about Zelda so whatever. And I'm getting that on WiiU too. But bring on PPT!!! This is the closest I'll get to a Tetris & Dr. Mario sequel as I'll get.

 

[JetSetRadio]

Physical only? eew no thanks

 

[Accoun]

No Vita, tho? Sooo... how bad is the Vita version of the UbiTris?

 

[Negator]

The game is so cheap I wouldnt mind double or even triple dipping on both NA versions. Would play the PS4 version at home and the Switch version on the go.

 

[orthodoxy1095]

Its a special launch edition

What's special about it to justify the price uptick.

No Vita, tho? Sooo... how bad is the Vita version of the UbiTris?

No one should ever support any version of Ubisoft Tetris on principle alone.

 

[killatopak]

megaton.

 

[SliceSabre]

Hopefully we'll get PSN avatars.

 

[Berordn]

What's special about it to justify the price uptick.

Supposedly includes keychains or some other type of knick knack.

 

[RedToad64]

This is coming to the Switch eShop, right?

 

[Neuromancer]

What am I going to do with my JP import copy now?

 

[Negator]

Are there any details on what is new from the PS4 JP version aside from the localization?

Or will it be the exact same game?

 

[Big Papa Husker]

What am I going to do with my JP import copy now?

Put it up in the Buy Sell Trade thread? If you do, I'm interested. 😉

Don't all PS4 games need a digital version? Does anyone know how many games have physical with no digital on PS4?

Oh no, this somehow makes sense. What a shame.

 

[SpideySenses]

Guitar Hero Live is physical only due to needing the guitar peripheral.

 

[LucidMomentum]

Comes with some keychains, IIRC.

*edit* Beaten like Ubisoft.

 

[jon bones]

This is coming to the Switch eShop, right?

any reason it wouldn't?

 

[Kintaco]

Can it be played as only a Puyo Puyo or Tetris games without the crossover stuff?

 

[KennyLinder]

any reason it wouldn't?

PS4 version is disc only (due to EA ownership of the IP digitally, or something)

Can it be played as only a Puyo Puyo or Tetris games without the crossover stuff?

It can.

 

[8bit]

Yes.

 

[jon bones]

PS4 version is disc only (due to EA ownership of the IP digitally, or something).

damn, that would be a deal breaker. this is exactly the type of game you keep installed at all times for pick up & play.

 

[ar4757]

Hmm, Switch will have local multiplayer with one joycon per player right? That would be great, I only have the Vita import.

 

[Kouriozan]

This is coming to the Switch eShop, right?

http://gematsu.com/2017/01/puyo-puyo-tetris-coming-west-ps4-switch-spring

The Nintendo Switch version of Puyo Puyo Tetris will have a digital version for $29.99 and a special retail edition for $39.99.

 

[EdReedFan20]

It can.

Ubisoft. EA had the license last generation. A lot of the EA licenses went to Ubisoft. Tetris and practically anything based on Hasbro properties (i.e. Monopoly, Risk, Boggle, etc.)

 

[E_A_R_T_H]

I can't seem to find the game on Amazon UK...

We don't have a European date set, just Q2 so no one seems to have pre-orders up yet.

Double dipping on this for the Switch...

 

[wild wild rice]

Is this game really beloved or something? Never played it.
