Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix on XBLA this Wednesday photo

Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix is finally here! It's going to hit Xbox Live Arcade on Wednesday as usual and will cost (you guessed it) 800 Microsoft Points.

Classic arcade play: The game features all the classic elements from the original arcade game, including traditional X Mode. Think fast on your feet as gems fall into your character's playfield. Don't let the stack get too high.
New X' Mode: The new X' Mode has been rebalanced with adjusted drop patterns and damage to level the playing field.
Y and Z Modes: Y Mode challenges players to connect three or more gems horizontally, vertically or diagonally. Z Mode has you group four adjacent gems and rotate them to join to other same-colored gems.
Stunning new graphics: Beautifully detailed high-definition backgrounds and character art come from the talented artists of Udon Comics.
New elemental effects: Gems and Crash Gems interact with dazzling new effects.
Hidden characters: There's Akuma, Dan, and more.
Online play: Get online with Xbox LIVE® and challenge other players to Ranked and Player Matches. Follow your progress on the leaderboards, and try to score the twelve all-new achievements!
Some of you guys have been obsessing over this title for a long time now -- the original is an amazing game after all -- but what do the rest of you think about Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix?

Do want. Horrible little secret about me: I'm a puzzle game fanatic... yet I've never played Puzzle Fighter. Given what I've heard/know about it, this should be orgasmic.

Fact: I played Puzzle Fighter for the first time last week and didn't not love it.

"high-definition backgrounds and character art"

True for the backgrounds not for the in-game characters. I was at the booth at PAX and the characters look blown up.

I've heard that in order to enjoy this game to the fullest you have to "understand" how to play Puzzle Fighter. I say "understand" because it goes beyond having knowledge about the play mechanics, people say you just have to see someone really good play Super Puzzle Fighter to "understand". Too bad I don't know anyone like that, so I will buy it, suck at it for 10mins and never play it again.

The UDON guys said that it'll be a bit longer. A large bulk of the game is good to go but then they need to do some extensive play testing to make sure the play mechanics are the same as the original.

Puzzle fighter is cool, but the game where you play is the SD versions is cooler (is that gem mode or something? Pocket fighter?)

I still play this game on the GBA. The HD version looks good except for the character animations though. They look blured.

For a long time, the PS1 version of this game held the record for my longest non-stop playing spree until I went eleven and a half hours in one sitting of Civ III.

Great game, but very frustrating against the computer.

Not enough to make me stop playing BioShock, but I'll get it anyway just as a change of pace from caving in the skulls of Splicers for hours on end.

I sucked at it when i played it in comic-con for the first time, thus I'll buy it and either become a master in puzzle fighting or just carry on making a fool of myself.

Not enough to make you stop playing Bioshock? When did you get Bioshock? 10 minutes ago? come Wednesday after completing Bioshock for the 13th time you'll contemplate buying Super Puzzle Fighter.

I'm up for the challenge Everyone, ADD me to your Friends list I'm RAZGATE

Never got a chance to get into this last time (DC and PSX) so call me a PuzzleFighter noob (Gamertag:TheT0iletDuck). But I love me some falling blocks and love Pocket Fighter so needless to say i can't wait to get home and play this (i.e. get my ass handed to me).

Hell, they BETTER bring an old PuyoPuyo to XBL, not that freakin new one(fever, was it? christ the voice acting was annoying).
