It is on 7, which was the last one I played. But you're right, it's just on that one, huh. I guess it makes sense then (still feels like a disadvantage over Tetris players)

Mario Kart is a bigger game; retailers need to leverage their prices over their competitors in order to bring customers to their stores. The hope with bigger dept stores, such as Big W and Target, etc, is that the money you save on their reduced Mario Kart copies will be spent within the store. Puyo Puyo Tetris is not as big a drawcard, so the price will land much higher. To further illustrate the point, we're receiving 62 copies of Mario Kart, yet only 4 copies of Puyo Puyo Tetris.

From what I've tried so far, single-Joycon play is the only control type that I found to be flat-out miserable. I can't come to grips with the small form-factor, and analog sticks are just a non-starter for me in games like this anyway.
I felt that dual-Joycon w/ grips and the pro controller were fine, though. Do the Switch pro controllers have quality control issues like the Joycons do? I've heard that other people sometimes had issues getting accidental d-pad inputs but the one I've tried seemed fine.

Shipping issues, if I had to guess? Maybe SEGA AU didn't want it to come out on the same day as MK8DX.

Does physical only PS4 mean that it's going to be dead online? It's not like people are going to be able to pick this up at retail in 6 months time.
Yeah you could be right on either of those accounts.
Oh well, guess I'll just have to keep enjoying the demo. Might end up double-dipping on MK8 as well haha.
Is there a sealed game inside? I saw an unboxing of the game but it was only the basic switch case and it didn't have a cardboard box or keychains.

I was gonna go physical but this is a game I definitely want to keep with me at all times.
Oh boy! Do I get the US release tomorrow or do I wait for the EU release? My week is already pretty packed so I might wait a few more days. I'd totally get the physical version if they came with the key chains in Germany but Amazon seems to not have them (judging by the pictures of the product page).
Crazy like a fox.
Actually double dipping on the same console too. Digital to always have it with me and Physical (as a birthday present!) because I want that guarantee that Ubisoft and/or Tetris don't pull something regardless of Sega being involved.
Anyone know what the lower ranks of the online community is like?

Buying this since it's the closest thing to a Tetris Attack sequel (story mode and all that) we'll ever get.
RIP Tetris Attack ;(

H-Huh? If you mean puzzle games in general, Puyo Puyo has always had a story mode and has been around for a long time now, with a lot of games after the SNES era...
Tetris Attack was also Panel de Pon/Puzzle League, which is not present in this game in any form

Some, I can actually set up GTRs and transitions and make combos a bit longer than 3 if i actually focus. Chronicles has been helping tbh, well worth it (not touching online on that tho after what happened the first time...)
I think if i just play more and learn actual patterns ill eventually be able to pair things with the transitions to make long combos. Have ppts open right now on my lap actually
I played a bunch of this yesterday on PS4 and it showed me how garbage the d-pad is on the DS4. (And the DS4 is one of my favourites controllers) Should have used a bigger version of the god-tier Vita one.
Kept missing button presses and not going far enough right or left and making me missdrop my tetriminos.
Luckily the Switch d-buttons are just as amazing as the Vita's pad for this game so no more missdrops from me. =P

In Japan, it's 1.1GB, so I'd assume it's similar for the US.

This is the only switch game so far which isn't crazy cheaper to go digital. So tempted to download now instead of cart
They added Puzzle League (what Tetris Attack is called now) for free to Animal Crossing New Leaf in the recent update.
Considering buying this from the US eShop as having Tetris digitally does seem appealing. That and it should come out cheaper due to the EU eShop prices being the same as retail.
Is it better to change my accounts region so purchase history is tied to one account or to make a separate account for the US eShop?

If you mean the Pro Controller, then I have some bad news for you.
By the way, my PS4 Japanese version that came out years ago received a new patch yesterday, does anyone know what was changed? Can't read those patch notes in Japanese unfortunately.
By the way, are there any changes between that version and the new one besides the english dub? I assume not since it's the same game, but with such a huge time gap between releases they might have added some extras or improvements.

Separate accounts unless you have a US credit/debit card. You can't change the region on an account that has money in its wallet, so if you changed region to buy Puyo Puyo and funded it with a giftcard you'd be stuck on that region.

Really annoyed this got delayed till the 12th of May for Australia >.<
I want to support the local market but then I also want to play it and could just get with my Canadian eShop account on the Switch.
On the plus side it won't get overtaken with the Mario kart 8 hype here at least.

Dear god no. The rest of my Pro Controller is solid, but the dpad has awful travel time even without the over sensitivity issues.
I mean the separate button dpad on the joycons. They have some great tactile feedback for precise Tetrimino placement.

Agreed. I'm surprised how much I like the separated d-pad on the left joy-cod for Tetris.
I laughed.
Just wish there was a single joycon control scheme that lets you flip the controller and use the dpad to move/drop and the the joystick to rotate. (Possibly use one of the L buttons for hold instead of up or down on the stick)
Joycon has the d-pad, Pro controller has the d-bad.

My GF and I put some hours in both demos (japanese and western). Will totally buy this digitally.

Think I'll grab this digitally. Cheapest you can find it on Switch is around £32 which is only £3 quid less than digital and digital for a game like this makes a whole lot more sense.
As a result I'll probably hold off on MK8D, already got a pretty big fill of that on the WiiU.

It is easy to get hold of US eshop cards? Noticed this game is much cheaper over there
