Now that Puyo Puyo Chronicle is out, let's get this thread going again.
As you may have read in other threads, this game features a new single player experience. Instead of head to head puyo matches, you attack enemies with chains that deal HP damage.
If you're a beginner to the series, you can get through story mode by grinding your stats.
The story mode is still fun for experts, though; there's post-game content featuring EX versions of all the bosses.
Not even a 16 chain can kill these bosses in one hit.
The online play is actually pretty smooth in the U.S. considering it's 1) on the 3DS, and 2) you'll be playing against people in Japan. SEGA also improved some of the match settings. You can finally do your FT100s on an official Puyo game.
SEGA US hasn't showed any signs of localizing the game yet, so you might as well import it...
Puyo Nexus has a Menu Translation guide if you don't know how to read kana.
