Capcom showed off a new incarnation of its puzzle game Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo at its press event last night. The game, dubbed Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD, is an HD upgraded version of Capcom's classic arcade puzzler for the PC, PlayStation Network, and Xbox Live Arcade. We had the chance to try out a work-in-progress version of the game running on the Xbox 360, which gave us a taste of the upgraded visuals.

For those unfamiliar with the title, the original game hit arcades in the late '90s and served up an addictive dose of puzzle action wrapped in a hefty dose of superdeformed cuteness. The game marries a Tetris-style clear-the-falling-blocks mechanic with one-on-one street fighting. The glue that holds the package together is the superdeformed incarnations of characters from the Street Fighter, Darkstalkers, Red Earth, and Cyberbots games. While the premise is quite simple, once you spend any time with the game you'll find there's quite a bit of strategy to it. The playable characters have unique patterns for the falling gems that will require you to tailor your play style to their strengths. As you clear gems off your board, your character will perform his or her signature attacks against your opponent. You'll win the match when your opponent's area overflows with blocks. If you want to work some flash into your victory, you can get your character to perform special and super moves by removing a series of block rows and creating chain combos with them.

Though Capcom has released versions of the game for the Game Boy Advance and PSP in the US and for the Sega Dreamcast in Japan, this latest incarnation for the PC, PlayStation Network, and Xbox Live Arcade is aiming to bring some new elements to the mix. The most striking is an HD makeover that entails redone character portraits, backgrounds, and gem blocks. Udon, the art studio of Street Fighter comic fame, is being tapped to redo the character portraits and backgrounds in the game while developer Digital Eclipse is redoing the gem block visuals. The driving force behind the visual tweaks is the game's 1080p support, which requires some work on the developer's part to ensure the game pops at the HD resolution.

The work-in-progress version certainly did just that, with one notable exception: the actual character sprites. It hurt us inside to see the razor-sharp character portraits segue to slightly fuzzy character sprites on crystal-clear backgrounds. Some smoothing has been done to keep the sprites from looking too chunky, but the Puzzle Fighter gang isn't looking their HD best. In speaking with reps on hand, it sounds as though more work is being done to clean up the appearance of the sprites, but a full-on makeover is unlikely. The game will also offer a second graphics option that is a pixel-perfect re-creation of the original visuals.

From a content standpoint, Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix will be a conversion of the version of Puzzle Fighter that appeared in the recently released Puzzle World for the PSP. The PSP conversion was actually based on the Dreamcast incarnation of the fan-favorite title, which was available only on consoles in Japan via Sega's D-Direct service. The game features three new gameplay options (dubbed X, Y, and Z), which offer gameplay variations on the core concept. X mode will offer the classic Puzzle Fighter gameplay. Y mode will offer a more Tetris-style experience by letting you remove gem blocks by simply lining up three or more blocks of a similar color. Finally, Z mode will have you dealing with blocks falling upward. The X mode has been rebalanced from previous incarnations to ensure that characters aren't overpowered. You'll also find a counter-gem edit mode to let you customize your character's counterattacks.

Aside from the single-player game, Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix will feature ranked and player matches online. For the voyeurs out there, the game will also feature a spectator mode. To advertise your awesomeness, Capcom is offering worldwide rankings and leaderboards to tout the best of the best.

Based on what we saw, Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix is coming together pretty well. The gameplay is just about spot-on, although there were a few odds and ends, such as some controller lag issues, in need of some polish. The visual overhaul is almost perfect. Almost. Yep, we're going to be nitpicky and whine about the lack of redrawn character sprites. Udon's art in comics is so fantastic that we're a little bitter it's only redoing some bits of the game art. The artists' collective touches in the game are pretty slick, so we'll lament not getting to see what they could do with the character sprites. However, people without nitpicking issues will likely be fine with the game as it stands now. Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix is slated to hit this summer. Look for more on the game in the coming months.

Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo, released in Japan as Super Puzzle Fighter II X (Japanese: スーパーパズルファイターII X), is a one or two player tile-matchingpuzzle video game first released in 1996 by the Capcom Coin-Op division of Capcom on the CPS II arcade system. The game's title is a parody of Super Street Fighter II Turbo, as there were no other Puzzle Fighter games at the time,[3] and the game includes music and interface elements spoofing the Street Fighter Alpha and Darkstalkers games. It was a response to Sega's Puyo Puyo 2 that had been sweeping the Japanese arcade scene.

A HD-remake version titled Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, is available on Microsoft's Xbox Live Arcade and Sony's PlayStation Network. A successor, Puzzle Fighter, was released for mobile devices in 2017.

Gameplay[edit]

Puzzle Fighter is a puzzle game which is similar to the Sega arcade game Baku Baku Animal.[1] As in the Capcom arcade game Pnickies, the player controls pairs of blocks ('gems' in game parlance) that drop into a pit-like playfield (twelve blocks tall by six blocks wide, with the fourth column from the left being thirteen blocks high). In Puzzle Fighter, however, gems can only be eliminated by coming into contact with a Crash Gem of the same color, which eliminates all adjacent gems of that color, setting up the potential for huge chain reactions. When gems are eliminated, 'garbage blocks' called Counter Gems drop into the opponent's playfield; these will eventually become normal gems, but only after they count down to zero. Most Counter Gems start at '5' and are reduced by one each time a new pair of gems is dropped on that board. The only way to eliminate Counter Gems before they become normal gems is to place a Crash Gem of that color nearby so it eliminates at least one normal gem. If this is done, all Counter Gems immediately adjacent to the Crash Gem will be taken out as well. Additionally, gems of the same color that form squares or rectangles (of at least two blocks tall and wide) in the pit become a giant Power Gem of that size and color; eliminating these as part of a combo increases the number of Counter Gems that would otherwise normally appear on the opponent's board. The only other type of piece to appear is a diamond, which eliminates all the gems—normal, Power, Counter, and Crash alike—of whichever color gem it lands on. (This, too, will cause Counter Gems to appear on the opponent's board. The diamond is supposed to create half the number of Counter Gems as a normal chain reaction. However, there is a bug that allows players to bypass this reduction.[4]) The diamond piece appears every 25 pieces.

Puzzle Fighter borrowed rules originally found in Puyo Puyo 2 called Sousai (Garbage Countering). This will allow a player to counter and negate garbage being sent by the opponent with chains of their own. Sousai can also be used to send garbage back to the opponent, known as Garbage overflow.

During the game, super deformed versions of various characters from Capcom's two main fighting game series (Street Fighter and Darkstalkers) act out a comical battle based on how the game is going.[1] Every time one player sends Counter Gems to his or her opponent, his or her character will perform a typical fighting-game action, anything from a taunt to a special move. The more Counter Gems the player sends over, the 'bigger' the move the character will perform. These animations, however, are purely cosmetic and have no actual bearing on the gameplay other than to indicate the magnitude of the counters.

The game continues until one player's field reaches the top of its fourth column (which is where all new gems first appear). That player is the loser.

The Dreamcast version of the game adds three separate modes: X-Mode, Y-Mode, and Z-Mode. Whereas X-mode is the original version of the core game, Y-Mode and Z-Mode have more drastic gameplay changes. Y-Mode makes the gems break as soon as three or more are aligned in a row, column, or diagonally, like in Columns, whereas Z-mode makes lines of gems rise up from the bottom of the screen, and the player controls a 2x2 square cursor, with which he rotates already-placed pieces, similarly to Tetris Attack.

Characters[edit]

All of the playable characters in Puzzle Fighter (with one exception) are borrowed from Capcom's two major fighting game series, Street Fighter and Darkstalkers. A fighting game using these character sprites called Pocket Fighter was released in 1997.

Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix[edit]

Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix is a downloadable game in the Puzzle Fighter franchise for PlayStation 3 (via PlayStation Network) and Xbox 360 (via Xbox Live Arcade). HD Remix was announced to include several graphical upgrades in the interface, character sprites, and levels.

Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo: HD Remix has updated high-definition graphics. Each of the four colours of the gems have been associated with an element and given a new animation. Backgrounds and characters have also been redrawn, while the character sprites have been run through a bilinear filter.

Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix supports 4 player in multiplayer, spectator mode, online play and rankings. Also featured are the three gameplay modes included in the Dreamcast version: X-Mode, Y-Mode, and Z-Mode, and an additional X' ('X dash')[6] Mode which rebalances several characters' drop patterns for better competitive play.

Changes from the original[edit]

  • Several characters were rebalanced by having their gem drop patterns altered.
  • Crash Gems now have elemental visual effects associated with them. Red gems are now Fire, Green gems are Wind, Blue gems are Water, and Yellow gems are Lightning. This does not affect gameplay and is purely a visual alteration.
  • In the original Puzzle Fighter, the tempo of the music would gradually speed up the closer the player or their opponent was to losing the match. HD Remix does not feature this.
  • In addition to the standard difficulty selection (Easy, Normal, and Hard), home console ports of Puzzle Fighter let the player alter the default speed in which gems would fall (marked by a number of stars up to five). This setting was removed for HD Remix.
  • New game modes were added. X is the original Puzzle Fighter with original drop patterns, X' is the rebalanced version, Y is a connect-three based variant of the game, and Z is a completely different pre-generated rotating block style game.
  • A challenge mode called 'Street Puzzle' was available in the original home console ports of Puzzle Fighter. In it, the player was tasked with defeating specific characters as a means to unlock bonus content. HD Remix removes 'Street Puzzle' mode entirely, as well as most of the bonus content it would unlock. What little bonus content was not cut from HD Remix is available from the beginning of the game.
  • Dan's 'Saikyo-Ryu Dojo' Tutorial has been removed, which was an attract demo in the arcade version and a tutorial mode accessible from the main menu in previous home releases. In it, Dan would provide a comedic demonstration to show the player the basics of playing Puzzle Fighter. In HD Remix, it has been replaced with a four-page text-only tutorial under 'How to Play' in Options.
  • The original Puzzle Fighter contained a number of different 'Win Taunts' that a character would pick at random to say to the losing player after a match. HD Remix removes most of the 'Win Taunts', leaving only one per character.
  • There are a number of palette errors in the sprites themselves. For example, during the Intermission featuring Akuma in his cave, all of the demons in the background have garbled colors.
  • The 'diamond trick' glitch has been eliminated. Attacks using the diamond are always at 80% strength instead of 50% (used normally) or 100% (using a glitch).
  • Ken's stage is now a beach featuring chibi versions of other Street Fighter characters. In the original Puzzle Fighter, his stage was the city street setting from Street Fighter Alpha.
  • Ryu's stage is now his snowy stage from Street Fighter Alpha 2. In the original Puzzle Fighter, his stage was a night time version of his stage from Street Fighter Alpha.
  • There is now a gem editor mode which allows players to create their own custom drop patterns. The custom patterns are only allowed in specific gameplay modes.
  • An online multiplayer function was added.

Reception[edit]

GameSpot7.6/10 (SAT)[8]
Next Generation (ARC, PS1)[9][3]
Sega Saturn Magazine86% (SAT)[10]

Reviewing the arcade version, a reviewer for Next Generation commented, 'The gameplay is ferociously competitive, unfairly addicting, and as intuitive as riding a bike (once you've got the hang of it), and due to luck factor, the favor swings numerous times from winner to loser and back until the very last gem drops'. Additionally praising the cutesy character art and the Capcom in-jokes incorporated into the backgrounds and soundtrack, he scored it four out of five stars.[9]

The Saturn and PlayStation versions received moderately positive reviews. Shawn Smith, Dan Hsu, and Crispin Boyer of Electronic Gaming Monthly commended the game's kid-style characters, addictive gameplay, and elements of fighting game strategy. However, Dan Hsu and Sushi-X both criticized that it is too easy to drop a large number of unremovable blocks on an opponent's side, making the game too unbalanced, and Sushi-X deemed it overall average.[7]Glenn Rubenstein of GameSpot was pleased by the fighting game strategy elements, graphic style, hidden in-jokes and Easter eggs, and replay value, and recommended it for puzzle game fans.[8]GamePro's Para Noid was enthusiastic about the game, writing, 'The one-player modes are entertaining, but the two-player head-to-head mode is where you get intense puzzle action, providing hours of enjoyment. Street Fighter and puzzle-game fans alike should definitely give this game a look.'[11] Major Mike of the same magazine likewise said that the game is addictive fun, particularly in two-player mode.[12] Unlike Dan Hsu and Sushi-X, a Next Generation critic argued that the ease of dropping stacks of blocks which cannot be removed until they turn back to regular gems adds to the excitement and strategy of the gameplay. However, he criticized the dull-witted battle quips and said the Street Fighter characters are out-of-place, suggesting they had only been included for their marketing value.[3] Contrarily, Stephen Fulljames commented in Sega Saturn Magazine: 'Puzzle Fighter's main strength is its World Warrior branding. Without it, it would be just another puzzle game, and a slightly flawed one at that. With it, it becomes an altogether more worthy product.' He praised the selectable characters, fighting game elements, various play modes, and graphics, while criticizing the player's overdependence on the appearance of trigger gems.[10]
