Aaaah. I remember playing Dr Robotnik's mean bean machine, only to realise a decade or so later what it really was lol
Although they seem like games that you could enjoy pretty well in any language though?
That's true, but I'd rather have the original characters. The Sonic characters (or Kirby characters) really don't make any sense in this context. Why on earth would they need to pop Puyo? Besides, in the original Puyo games, as you know, they end up shouting spells as they chain, and the other side gets hurt from it. The USA non-Puyo-character Puyo games make it just seem like some sort of minigame. I also like the personalities of the original characters better, and their quirkiness.
