Yosumin Live! certainly looks happy, although I have to admit the upset and slightly peeved faces of some of the Yosumin themselves put a smile on my face.
We've known about the Xbox Live puzzle title since late last year, but it was confirmed in last night's game onslaught announced at the Microsoft press conference, and today we have video of how it will actually play (which you can see after the jump).
Not really seeing anything majorly special here, but it looks crisp and clean anyway. I have to admit I am interested in seeing Square Enix try their hand at more games outside of the RPG genre, so we'll see how this one goes. For now all we know is that it's due out on Xbox Live Arcade sometime this year, but when we find out more we'll keep you posted.
One of the last things I would have expected from Square was a puzzle game. When I first saw this, I thought it was going to be another Bejeweled clone, like we don't have enough of those already. But then I watched the video and it seemed like a fairly original title.
The whole Bejeweled layout aside, the twist they put in there is enough to gain my attention. Also, don't tell me it's only on the 360 Live Arcade. PSN doesn't want to be discriminated. :[
It's available on DS already in Japan. It's been out for a year or so, but hasn't been localized for the West. You don't really need a translation for this kind of game though.
Well, at least thats what came to mind when I saw the board.. Honestly though, I don't understand how this game is working. It just seems like they are randomly highlighting big swaths of the board, then they all change to the same color, and the you win...
Can someone explain wtf is going on in this game? I'm stoopid :(
HeavyD is correct -- that's the basic gameplay mechanic. There are special tiles that mix it up a bit, but basically you select four tiles to make up four corners of a box.
