I couldn't agree more with your comments. No idea if XBL would freak out if I tried it, and no idea if it even has an English localization (which would be the least of those problems - I mean, it's Tetris, the Japanese options can't be that hard to figure out, right?) But, all in all, I'm very hesitant to spend $50-70 to import a disc just to see what would happen.Īs for Touchscreen Tetris. But I have no idea if those are correct, or not. I've heard rumors that the Japanese version of Puyo Puyo for XB1 is not region locked. We don't have one, yet, but might eventually. I didn't realize there was an American version for Switch, though. That was exactly what I feared my response would be. It's still a puzzle game and not bad in its own right playing like that, but it doesn't really feel like Tetris. At least with the version I have on my phone I prefer to play the 1 touch mode where you just press where you want the Tetrimino to land and it goes there. I've tried Phone Tetris and it just doesn't feel right without buttons. It is however available on both eShop and retail for Switch in the US. Sadly its availability here in the states is somewhat limited, for what I guess has to be licensing issues, possibly due to Ubisoft also having a license with Tetris Ultimate, it's not available at all on XB1 in the US and only at retail for PS4. I have it on Switch myself and the Tetris on it feels great. Puyo Puyo Tetris is the version I keep seeing when I hear people talking about playing Tetris on modern platforms.
