But it's Tetris though.

Puyo Puyo Tetris almost at 1 million units sold

Puyo Puyo Tetris S is the Switch SKU, so if the video mentions the S it's Switch only.

How? It is a Tetris / Puyo Puyo game, not sure what you were expecting.
The art style / presentation is great, they did a good job at not just making a good game but also making these characters charming, and the music are also great: it has the best version of Korobeniki
My only complain here is that fact that SEGA didn't add the option for japanese voices (which are so much better) in the western version.
I wanted to support this game. Was going to buy it on PS4. But the lack of an option to mute those nasty voice overs is such a major turn-off.
Wonder how "close" it is. Either way it seems like an amazing result, especially considering the install base.
I find it hard to believe unless the game consistently charts on the eshop top 10. Well deserved anyway.
Awesome news. Not only Puyo Puyo Tetris is great, but also is a revival of looking at puzzle games in a serious way outside Japan, finally.
Puyo Puyo Tetris is fucking e-sports tier, as was Puyo Puyo in the nineties in Japan.

Holy shit. Never expected these numbers from this game.
I got it at launch and it's super fun to play with friends. Well deserved.

You should give it a try. One of the best games on the switch. It shouldn't work as well as it should. But I've lost so many hours to this in multiplayer.
so you need gritty, realistic brown graphics for a puzzle game?

It's still kinda weird how these games are made by the same people behind the countless Sonic related blunders of the past few decades.
Ideally, Sonic Team would become the "Puyo Puyo Team" while the devs behind Sonic Mania became the new Sonic Team. But alas...

Switch is a software beast. I like how the Switch audience is receptive to mid tier games and pretty much every publisher has found some sort of succes on the platform.
Yeah, I think third party support will significantly increase from this year onward and it will only grow further going into 2019. Its all about sales and the Switch has proven itself as a software selling platform.

I've played it more than 60 hours; it's one of the best Tetris editions along with Tetris DS! So yeah, from my perspective, it deserves sales.
Really? I feel like I have a chance even against very highly rated tetris players online, while puyo players with average ratings kick my butt hard! And the few times I've accidentally chosen to play puyo (I suck at it), I still beat good tetris players.
If you meant that Tetris is the better game, I definitely agree! But Puyo feels very unfairly overpowered. :(
(I get that if elite players battle, they're probably evenly matched, but it's certainly not the case for mid-tier players.)

Yes: as I said that's the name of the Switch version, and if it's the only one getting referenced, I assume that just the Switch version sold almost 1 million WW (gulp), but I'd like to see with my own eyes the exact moment in the video where it was revealed. Again: does anyone have the timestamp for when it happened?
You could always have looked into what Puyo Puyo is.

I hate the presentation and characters but I like the gameplay. Could have been a lot better if they made it like lumines with better presentation and music
So this is just a graphics thing then?

No, Tetris is definitely much easier to learn to get good at and it's much more powerful.
Now never let Ubisoft have the rights to Tetris ever again.

Let's not be ignorant by comparing this to a mobile game. Puyo Puyo Tetris is rightfully a premium product. Not only is it packed with modes but they went above and beyond with the presentation. There are so many different styles to choose from and the soundtrack is incredibly vast. Then it's all topped with a lengthy fully voiced story and great online structure.

You're right. That Puyo Puyo and Tetris really look like ripoffs of a 1000+ mobile games I've seen. These games are clearly unoriginal trash cashing in on mobile mechanics and aesthetics.
/s ...wish I didn't need to sarcasm that sentence as it should be obvious, but I once got flagged for claiming I was being inflammatory when I called console players babies for thinking Switch was any more original than an atari Lynx.
I feel trolled, though.

Easier to learn for sure (though T-spins are probably still tricky for most, and it's necessary to be competitive), but "getting good" depends, because you have to be insanely fast and perfect playing to have a chance against good opponents, especially Puyo players.
Nah all you really need to do is learn some all clear setups.
T-Spins also do a great amount of garbage that you don't even need to be extremely quick.
It did 70k retail in the us according to a poster before you with the same Japanese numbers.
Puyo sold will digitally and it makes sense. It's not the type of game most would trade in the satisfaction of owning a physical copy for the efficiency of retaining it digitally.
It's true, but we don't know at which point of the video it was said, so we can't verify by ourselves :P
Right. But do we have any native Japanese speakers who can watch the clip and confirm what they said?
ProTip: Continuing down this train of thought is not improving your position.

This is due to the Tetris licensing. You can only make/design art assets so much before you hit the limits of what is allowed.
Puyo Puyo Chronicles for 3DS was the 25th Anniversary game IIRC.
