Puyo Puyo. This has become my absolute favorite puzzle series. Yes, even more so than Tetris (though that did get a crossover with this series, funny enough.)
My first game in the series was Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine in the Sonic Mega Collection. It was fun. After that, I found a thing in Nintendo Power previewing Puyo Pop Fever. I immediately noticed a resemblance, and my unaware mind thought of it as a ripoff...but a ripoff that actually looked appealing, thanks in no small part to Amitie.
The I looked into it, and found out that what I was looking at was an unaltered Puyo game, and that Mean Bean Machine wasn't the original after all.
Sadly, it wouldn't be until last year that I checked it out. It's quite good, but I regret not playing it earlier.
Then I decided "you know what? Time to play catch-up!" So that's what I've been doing the past few months. Basically, I'm trying to right the wrongs of my younger self not playing this instead of the Shark Tale game.
My favorite games in the series so far are Puyo Pop Fever and Puyo Puyo Fever 2, with Puyo Puyo 7 being close. The 15th Anniversary game is also fun (though if you get the DS version, get the Special Price release. Older copies have a nasty save glitch.)
I also have the PS3 version of Puyo Puyo Tetris. It's quite fun itself. Gotta admit, if not for this, I would have stuck to my old PS2 copy Tetris Worlds for my console Tetris playings.
I've got the 20th Anniversary game coming in the mail soon. DS version, obviously. Would have gotten the 3DS version if not for that damned region locking Nintendo put in there.
By the way? Amitie is my favorite character in the series. I just love everythiing about her. In fact, I actually have a crush on her. Laugh or cringe if you will. I know she doesn't exist, shut up.
You can also disciss the Madou Monogatari series here if you wish (as the Compile era characters originated from it). Though in regards to that, my only experience is Sorcery Saga: Curse of the Great Curry God. I'm actually having fun with it, though the lack of the original cast is a bit disheartening, though for legal reasons, it had to happen. For what it's worth, though, I do like Pupuru, at least.
I intend to play some of the older installments evenually, though.
Your thoughts?
