Compile's Pochi & Nya moves to MVS

Shou-sama · Feb 18, 2003

Pochi & Nya is Compile's puzzle game that's supposed to follow up Puyo Puyo is coming out on MVS in April instead of NAOMI which was announced earlier. Taito is doing distribution for Aiky, the company that holds Compile's copyrights.

Coming out on MVS instead of Naomi?

That's a bit odd, but it's still a new Neo game! wink

Pochi from Power Instinct?

It's mine.

NEW NEO GAME... In the vain of Puyo Puyo...

THANK YOU, GOD!!!!!!!!!!!

/me casually states that he has Puyo Puyo on GBA, NGPC, Game Gear, and Wonderswan *

My all-time fave puzzle game is coming to MVS. Holy cheese on a cracker!

I hope it's more like Super Puzzle Fighter 2! I don't like basic Puyo Puyo, but that variation kicks ass!

Jeebus! That is good news, we could use some new non-fighters... and puzzlers are always good.. and timeless!

Could you imagine a Compile shooter on the NEO?! Man that would have ruled.

Clear Paper · Feb 19, 2003

Taito as distributor? I wonder why they aren't using their own F3 system. The F3 saw the likes of Puzzle Bobble 3 and 4.

Perhaps they reckon the MVS distribution is higher than their own system's. Which is quite true I guess.

Edit: Hang on a sec, didn't Compile close down recently??

HELL YES! It's been too long since the Neo's seen a new puzzle game. What's even better is that it's a Puyo-Puyo spin-off (one of my favorite puzzle games of all time). I can't wait to give it a shot (once it shows up stateside, that is).

Oh happy day!

Briggs · Feb 19, 2003

This is the first time I have been interested in actually buying a new MVS game.

aria · Feb 19, 2003

Could I get a link confirming the shift to MVS?

Shou-sama · Feb 19, 2003

As to why Taito didn't put this game on their own hardware, F3 and G-NET are quite dead in the arcade marketplace. Even Taito is putting their newest stuff on NAOMI GD. MVS has the highest saturation of any modular system so it makes sense to me why they would want to move to a common and cheap platform.

Kid Aphex · Feb 19, 2003

Wow...new MVS game? Time to buy that Phantom converter...

WHAT ABOUT HOME CART RELEASE???

Who want's to take those odds on...

Though I'll have to take your word for it

I'm really looking forward to another puzzle game.
