New NeoGeo Game !!! -> POCHINYA

WoVou · Apr 17, 2003

New MVS game for spring 2003: POCHINYA, a puzzle game.
4 screenshots and more info here: <a href="http://www.neo-arcadia.com" target="_blank">NEO-ARCADIA</a>

Je connais ce jeu, il est sorti sur Naomi. Ca fait pluiseurs mois qu'on en parle sur Arcadia. Ils ont fait une adaptation MVS?

Kazuya_UK · Apr 17, 2003

It was originally Naomi I think, but it was moved over to MVS... take a look <a href="http://www.aiky.net/pochinya/index.html" target="_blank">here</a>. The link is in Japanese, but you can see "MVS" a little way down the page. Also, all the pictures are labelled as "mvs_01.jpg" etc.

Thanks for the news WoVou, been waiting for a while to hear something more about this one

Wovou, juste une question comme ça: tu l'achètes combien ton arcadia?
Moi je le paye 10.6 euros chez Junku à Paris.

WoVou · Apr 17, 2003

robert: c fistoflegend, un des 6 webmasters du site, qui l'achete. je pense qu'il l'achete à peu pres le même prix que toi.
A++

Kazuya_UK : yeah it's a naomi game (taito, spetember 2002), a puyo-puyo like. it was moved over to MVS.

Fist Of Legend · Apr 17, 2003

pareil Robert, plus du double de son prix au Japon ! Enfin, vivement le prochain numero avec des news sur SVC !

Isn't this that Puyo Puyo Pop game that was announced a while ago?

It's about time the Neo Geo has a puzzle
game.
I have been waiting for one a long time.

Yeah, it's true the Neo Geo was long overdue for another awesome puzzle game on the calibur of Magical Drop III and Money Puzzle Idol Exchanger. I think Puzzle Bobble is pretty good too, but it's not nearly as frantic and frenzied as the Magical Drop, Pochi to Nya is going to help Violent Fighting Back Again.

I don't know about you guy's the the Naomi pics looked much more better. Look at the items their size has been reduced. But still I look foward to this game, since the neo didn't have a puzzler for years!

RabbitTroop · Apr 17, 2003

Although we have known about this for a long time, all we had were Naomi shots. A lot of people didn't think the Neo could do the resolution and style that the naomi was showing... however... looky:

<img src="http://www.aiky.net/pochinya/img/mvs_02.jpg" alt=" - " />

YEP THOSE ARE FROM THE MVS VERSION... and even the title of the picts, as pointed out above, are called MVS_XX.jpg!!!! I am psyched,

mmmm... transparency? look those "lights" they're TRANSPARENT and it doesn't seem to apear transparent because of the quality of the pic... The pic is not blurred at all (in fact it is VERY clean & clear) so anybody can explain me why there are transparency fx?

new technology on the neo? photoshoped pics?

just look like gradient colors to me.

Pro_Gear · Apr 17, 2003

It's moments like these that prove how great the Neo is. What year is it again? 2003???

It doesn't look like anything is transparent to me...

I grew up right outside of New Brunswick, now live across the river in Piscataway- Where are you at?

Look at the BLUE box. The "brillant" light covers the "darker" light... but you CAN SEE part of the "dark" light (which is BEHIND)

In the RED box you have the most obvius proof...
The lights overleap each other as in the BLUE box...
But the important thing is that the last light is transparent enough to see the star behind it. You can even see the dog behind the more brillant light nex to it...

For me that's transparency...

Setsuna1982 · Apr 17, 2003

BTW look at the timer at the bottom of the pics. It says EXACTLY the same time in the 3 gameplay pics...

It's clear that those pics are a sequence but the timer should have changed, at least half a second...

It could be a bug of a beta version too... but that, plus the transparent sprites are both interesting and suspicious... perhaps there's a new way to make transparency in neo or perhaps those are photoshoped pics before the release made but someone who doesn't know tha neo have no transparency (like with those "Dust Hill Zone" pics from sonic2 which features a desert that never passed the beta)

so, that's not MVS screens since it can't handle alpha blending ! Maybe they just want to give us a glimpse of what will look POCHINYA MVS, with Naomi screens ! That's all !

RabbitTroop · Apr 17, 2003

Well, I don't think those are any different then the "Transperency" we already have in neo games... basically where every other pixel is used to make it look transparent... done as a trick in many other games, I don't think it is an alpha channel. ANYWAY, maybe I am wrong, who knows... hehe, it still looks good, and I would easily agree that these are just Naomi shots used for mockups... but WHY ARE THEY CALLED MVS then... hehe wink Well, whatever, it looks great... But good eyes on the clock thing, that was a good catch,
