Puyo Puyo Tsu/2...

Is the PCE version of this any good? I have it on MD (along with PP1), and it's one of my favourite puzzle games. On my modded 60Hz MD with RGB SCART the colours really pop!

Haven't played it on MD. Have played it on PCE/Sat/SFC though. I'd take the disc based versions over the SFC version any day.

IMO the MD version is the definitive one.

PCE port is sloppy...

The first Puyo is better experience on PCE.

Agreed.

Thanks.
Basically the Saturn & Megadrive win. The SNES's music has that annoying muffled thing that effects so many games.

Wow, yeah! Wth happened there? Why no background on the stages? Odd!

PCE version looks rather half-arsed in that video.

The PCE version of Puyo Puyo Tsu is well done by the standards at the time, but it could have been better than the arcade. It runs in a higher resolution, which preserves the pixelart of the arcade. I believe that the only downgrade is the missing background in the puzzle boxes and mediocre chiptune sound quality. The imperfections stand out mostly because of how well the original game turned out on PC Engine.

A while back I extracted the fucking COOL concert video from the Saturn version of PPT. The quality is terrible since it was Cinepac. If anyone knows if his was ever on VHS or LD let me know. I'd love to have a higher quality version.

Possible I was thinking of the first Puyo on PCE. I love the Saturn controller so that's really all I play it on. Sounds like the MD version is worth checking out though.

Gameplay wise, I think Tsu introduced the cancelling mechanic, didn't it? If yes, I'd choose Tsu or Sun over the predecessor anytime.

The model 2 Saturn controller rocks. I play with both the 6 & 3 button MD controllers. Both are fantastic. I may even prefer the 6 button MD controller to the Saturn.

I don't get why they used chiptune at all on a CD. I also don't get why there's no background when the 1st game had it. Should have stuck it on a HuCard.

Yup. I like PP1 too though.
