Puyo Puyo~n

released on Mar 04, 1999

This game was released only in Japan. It is the fourth game in the Puyo Puyo series and the last set during the Madou-era in the main series. Continuing the trend of naming the games after puns, the name comes from a pun on "yon", the Japanese word for the number 4, but this time this is the only reference to the pun. The gameplay in is similar to that of Puyo Puyo 2, but adds super attacks. Clearing chains now builds up a "charge meter" which allows players to use them. The only other addition was a new game mode which could be played with a number of different field sizes, smaller or bigger than the standard 6x12, however, it removes several game modes that were present in Puyo Puyo Sun, i.e. the tournament, task and chain training modes. The art is also vastly different to the previous game in the series and, of course, the Fever series; this style was only otherwise used for Minna de Puyo Puyo. STORY: Satan has released an odd demon called Pierott. Pierott invites Arle and Carbuncle over to the “Puyo Puyo Circus”. All seemed to be just fine, Arle and Carbuncle went into a tent to watch a magic show, but Satan had Carbuncle volunteer for a magic trick he was doing. A magic trick? Or a trap? He puts Carbuncle on the stand, and casts a spell, which makes Carbuncle, disappear! Arle wasn't worried, she didn't even know what was going on, but later on, she couldn't find Carbuncle anywhere! She then has to start battling monsters and oddball characters in a match of Puyo Puyo to try to reach Satan, and get Carbuncle back! This version of the game have different music and lacks the voiced cutscenes due to cartridge's memory limitations, but can be played in 4-player mode like the Dreamcast version and included a Transfer Pack mode where one could unlock more artwork by plugging in Pocket Puyo Puyo Sun.

Average Puyo game with a unique attack system. Something felt a bit off about the framerate on the N64 version and I couldn’t tell if I was just going crazy.

THE DREAMCAST DPAD IS FUCKING GARBAGE I HATE IT

its like regular puyo puyo except every match takes forever and you lose because the AI reshuffled their entire board 4 minutes into the match and got an instant kill combo

If puyo puyo 2 is the championship edition of puyo where things are extremely fine-tuned for balanced competitive play, then this 4th game is the rainbow edition where balance is thrown out the window for the sake of fun. Every character has their own special ability/super move, each varying in wackiness. Some characters reward you for playing bad. Some drop a giant screen nuke on the enemy for no reason. Some completely wipe away the entire game board. If puyo puyo sun was already too nonsense for you don't touch this one with a 40 foot pole. If you like dumb nonsense and just wanna dick around with unbalanced superpowers, then this game is made for you.

pretty good, kinda clunky though

this is legit the best compile era puyo i dont take constructive criticism CHICO MY BABY
