Good news: 4 player online. Bad news: The story mode is back.

An early Switch puzzle game is getting a sequel this holiday season.

Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 was announced in the Direct Mini Partner Showcase for release on December 8, with preloads available today. New additions to the game are expanded online (including 4 player games) and a Skill Battle mode, as well as a new story.

The first run editions of Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 will come with skill cards to be used in the Skill Battle mode, including Sonic the Hedgehog themed ones.

Is there still a market for this with Tetris 99 on Switch? I was interested in picking up the launch game at some point if the price was right but with Tetris 99 now I no longer saw the need for it. There's also a Puyo Puyo game on SNES Switch Online if you want your fix for that.

I recall holding off on the first title around the Switch launch. Then after Tetris 99 was released, I removed it from my Wish List. For those who want it (that online 4 player looks like a good time), cool. I think I'm gonna pass though.

I was hoping for a brand new, standalone Puyo game since I find the series a whole lot more fun than Tetris, but I'm happy for this too.  Also, the first game's story mode was pretty funny--don't go dissing it.

Tetris 99 is fine for online, but I do eventually want to get a local multiplayer version of Tetris for playing with friends at home, as the dynamic of local 4-player Tetris is much different. Puyo Puyo Tetris can still fill a niche spot in some people's libraries.

Did you grab Puyo Puyo Champions, by chance? I know it's been ludicrously cheap before.

That was online-focused. I was hoping for a full-blown new entry with lots of modes, kind of like the Puyo Puyo 15th and 20th Anniversary games. But I'm still glad to see this coming.

Four-player support definitely felt like something missing from the original, so it's good to see that. I hope there are some more new modes like Fusion, which was the most interesting part of the first game.
