If you aren’t familiar with the Puyo Puyo games, I have to say I’m sorry — you’re missing out on one of the best puzzle game series out there (in my not so humble opinion). However, if you played Kirby’s Avalanche, you’ll remember the Puyos from that game as they made an appearance. After the jump you can see a trailer for the newest installment in the series, Puyo Puyo 7, which unfortunately is not coming out in the US (but which you can fortunately import and play without too much language trouble — the game is pretty easy to learn!).
A nerdy but interesting tidbit for you: Puyo Puyo 7 is being promoted by Japanese actress Erika Toda, who you just may recognize from the live action version of Death Note if you saw it (she plays Misa Amane). The trend with these games has been to get an attractive female star to promote each one. Knowing Japan, I’m sure it works like a charm. Cute girls plus ultra cute characters equals the recipe for win!
