At the end of last year, a game called Puyo Puyo eSports launched in Japan. This version of the popular puzzler focused on competitive play, and has been exclusive to its home region for months. Today, SEGA has announced the game is coming west after all, under the name Puyo Puyo Champions.
It features everything found in the eastern version of the game -- there are two rulesets to play online, an offline tournament mode, dual audio, and lots of playable characters. It looks to be a stripped down version of Puyo Puyo Tetris, which released locally on PlayStation 4 a couple of years ago. It's set to arrive on 7th May for $9.99.
Will you be proving yourself a champion when this arrives in a couple of weeks? Start a chain reaction in the comments below.

I like Puyo, but I think I’m better off with just having Puyo Puyo Tetris. There’s always Yakuza 6 as well.
Ah come on these games are made for a disc release. 😢
@Flaming_Kaiser Sounds like it's more of a budget game based on that price, they only just announced a disc release in Japan too.
Still, I'm happy that this news means there's a viable western market for Puyo Puyo after nearly 30 years of nothing sans Dr Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine, Puyo Pop Fever and Puyo Puyo Tetris, each all being a decade apart.
I don't really see the point of this when Puyo Puyo Tetris exists at the same time
