Everybody loves a good game of Tetris. The age-old formula for the iconic tile matching game never seems to get old. Just recently, we saw the release of Tetris effect, a crazy version of Tetris which bombards all of your senses with playful and intense music as well as an absolute visual rollercoaster. But perhaps, one wants the Tetris experience in a simpler and purer form. We have exactly what you’re looking for, Mister Purist. Sega Ages: Puyo Puyo for Nintendo Switch is a simple yet charming Tetris game and its release date was just announced!
The news came from the following tweet:
「SEGA AGES」シリーズ配信タイトル第7作『SEGA AGES ぷよぷよ』3月28日配信決定！

The game is set for a Japanese release date of 28th March.
Sega Ages: Puyo Puyo Pricing and Other Details
The pricing of the acclaimed classic title will be around 925 yen according to Sega. Sega Ages: Puyo Puyo also came with some neat additions that make it more adaptable to the modern video game world. These include an online mode where you can show off your skills at tile matching to players all around the world and a ranking system to flex all of your points and show your friends that you’re a real gamer.
The game will have both Japanese and Western versions available. The Western version will have different voices and also the arcade release of Sega Ages: Puyo Puyo.
A western release was planned back in February alongside a western release of Sega Ages: Gain Ground, which is another classic shooter game but these releases never happened. There are no updates as to when these games will release in the west. Given the resurgence of appreciation for older games, we wouldn’t be surprised if they release it in the west soon anyway.
