All N64 Games #299: Puyo Puyo~n Party
Posted 25 Oct 2024 at 10:22 by Dean Jones
Also known as Puyo Puyo 4 (I can only guess that the ~n is partly due to Japanese superstitions about the number 4), this brings the core gameplay back to Puyo Puyo 2, and adds in character-specific special abilities. Unfortunately, unlike Puyo Puyo Sun, this one does not have colourblind options, so, like in Dr. Robotnik’s Mean Bean machine, I made a ton of mistakes.
The party part of the name refers to some 4-player modes, which make the beans smaller and even more difficult to distinguish. These include a 4-way battle and a hot potato mode, where there’s a bomb that gets passed around by performing chains, with you aiming to not be the one with the bomb when the time ends.

Remake or remaster?
A collection and official localisation of the earlier Puyo Puyo games would be nice.

While there are newer Puyo Puyo games, this particular version is not available anywhere.
