Oh hell ya! Old school Arcade nostalgia ftw

Oh man, this was like one of the best puzzle games ever!

Totally a must buy for XBLA

@Witzbold: Ditto.

I'm so getting this when it comes out to XBLA

Schweet, played the crap out of this on PSX. Timeless Tetris clone fun. The name itself reminds me why I love Capcom so much.

The BEST 2 player game I have played [D&D Tower of Doom ties it but it's up to 4 players :) ].

Oh man! I'm more excited about this than I was about Worms HD. I used to play this all the time in college.

best puzzle game ever.

NO. FUCKING. WAY.

Puzzle Fighter in HD!?

This is a classic. I used to go to the putt-putt on cooper in Arlington when it had good games and play this at like 1-2am. You could always find some cute college chicks there ready to play against you too. That was way back in the day.

1) Meh

2) I just threw up a little bit in my mouth

3) ???

i can't wait to get this one and kick my friend's ass...

he always kicks my ass on Lumines Live but this is a game for me...

Wow, one of the best puzzle games ever, and it's coming to XBLA just randomly and out of the blue, AND it's going to have upgraded art and high def? This is great news.

I wonder if they'll still keep Akuma, Dan, Devilot and especially Anita as secret characters. I also wonder if they're going to include the cutscenes from 'Fighter II X. They were hilarious.

Also Barbara is an idiot.

another thing....

i'm guessing this is only interweb playable with PC and Xbox each other while PS3 is alone on their own network...

I've missed this game. I mis Dan.

Just in time cause my PS1 copy of the game doesn't work anymore.

This is awesome news. A few minutes after it was posted up, David Sirlin who is the backbone of this project linked a few of us hardcore fighting game fans to his page. Sirlin is pretty well known in the fighting game community, he helps run the evolution fighting game tournament (www.evo2k.com) and has written a book thats considered to be the street fighter bible! So I'm sure this won't get the street fighter 2 HF treatment. If anything it'll be close to arcade perfect. :)

If only they put Pocket Fighter HD in there too, im sold.

v ^_^

Wow.. I actually might want an Xbox.. (not just for this of course - it's just additional fun).

But nice to see Puzzle fighter in HD I suppose.. did anyone else happen to get this because you thought it was pocket fighter =.=?

Will the graphical upgrade help people with partial colorblindness? My husband wants to love this game, but the PS and GBA versions are very difficult for him since he can't distinguish yellow/green.

Please, game publishers. Take a cue from Puzzle Quest. Add symbols to your colors or make them VERY distinct. Partial CB is a lot more common than discussed.

Oh god, that title. It's so long it's almost like a self-parody.

Hells yes. :D I cant wait to play it.

@adamcole:

Seems to be a lot of North Texans on this site... first some guy references "Tarrant County Community" and now that.

Stoked about it coming to the PS3. Between this and Mortal Kombat II... sweetness from the PSN.

OMG! It looks good! I don't like the new cubes, but the rest looks nice. "I like," Cartman

Awesome. Now I won't have to dig out my dusty (and much beloved) Saturn to play this. I love to play as Dan, because it doesn't matter if you win or lose - either way it's just damn funny.

I am so downloading this when it comes to the PSN. Mortal Kombat II holds no candle to this.

Chuck Norris is less excited about Super Puzzle Fighter II than I am. Good thing too, because when Chuck Norris is excited, up to 153 women are pleasured simultaneously.

YESSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!

There is a god, Capcom be thy name.

Wow, this game was so much fun! Good to see they are making a HD remake. It reminded me of the Pokemon puzzle game for GBC, except this one had Street Fighter characters which made it better.

I hate Puzzles but put them in the xlive and they are gold...well not really but throw in street fighter and you got a winner.I like more puzzle kombat but this also cool.

The best Puzzle game would be a mix of super puzzle fighter,luminies,some sort of touch screen,badass music and rpg elements like puzzle quest.

Awesome.

(is that the star of david in the big yellow block?)

@1SwtDeception:
"did anyone else happen to get this because you thought it was pocket fighter "

Opposite for me. I actually got pocket fighter, thinking it was puzzle fighter, lol.

Damn, those explosions are beautiful. Additionally, it looks like the gems have an elemental factor to them now when they explode: blue is water, red is lava rocks? and yellow looks like sand... I'm totally buying this.

Oh hell yes. I'm sold. Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix World Tournament Spicy Chicken w/ Marinara ftw.

YES! The gods have smiled upon me.

@Skylar,

The title IS a parody. This was the only Puzzle Fighter game made, so the "Super II Turbo" was always a joke. The HD Remix is just icing.

In other news, glad to see new life for a brilliant game, but it doesn't look like I'll be playing it much. Because Puzzle Fighter ONLY uses color to distinguish its pieces, I (being colorblind) can't distinguish between yellow and green breakers accurately enough to play. I was hoping we'd see some shape-distinction thrown in (or more radically different shades for the yellow and green), but it looks like that isn't to be.

This will be downloaded the moment it hits the PS Store.

GIMMIE!

This is one of Capcom's best games in my opinion. Good, clean, hyper-deformed fun.

....mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

I hope/wish that it has/had the extras from the PSX version... the challenges for new costumes, stages, etc. I'd rather do it that way than buy microtransactions.

I fucking love this game. Now if only they bring back Pocket Fighter too. :p

I like the look of the old gems better, but sure, why not :P I bought three versions of this same game (PS1, DC, GBA)...it's...so good.

Wow what a great suprise! I had to play Puzzle Kombat on Mortal Kombat: Deception ever since I don't have my ps1 copy of SPFIIT anymore.

What a treat what a treat. The cherry on top would be, if we will be able to play other peeps via xbox live for endless ocean of competition.

Anyone know if this is a fact?

I have puzzle fighter for like... 3 other systems...
do i really need it for another one?

answer = YES!

-Ash-

Best.. Game.. Ever..!

Can't WAIT!

I was so addicted to this, I once attempted to make it on my Ti-84 calculator to pass time in class. I failed miserably of course.

Damn! Now I need an XBox 360!

can't wait.
still playing the original PS version.

oh, morrigan...

How "hi-def" can one make square blocks? Its like you slap the letters HD on there, and instantly the sheep start drooling for no good reason. This is like blu-ray dragon's lair... all marketing no substance.

im starting to get biased on the whole XBLA thing with all the paperboy and the bland shooters coming out. Sure there are always speculation on Rez & Ikaruga but it was about time that we get real quality games like SOTN being ported to XBL. now if they can only add MVC2 & SF anniversary to the compatibility list so we get a real capcom fighting fix.

No Whammies, no Whammies!

Yes!

Puzzle Fighter and ST!

C'mon Capcom, make with the Aliens Vs Predator arcade next and it'll be the golden age of Capcom all over again.

Nice.

I've been trying to find a copy of Puzzle Fighter for ages. I'm very glad to see that this is going to be released. The only reason I bothered to buy the Alpha Anthology was because I was told by the store rep that it contained Puzzle Fighter... The Street Fighter Alpha 3 on the disc is far inferior to the PSX version.

Here's hoping they take this the extra mile and add some extra characters. It wouldn't take much work to add in some SF3 characters and it'd be an interesting switch to use Yun or Ibuki.

It's funny because I actually have the original Puzzle Fighter on PS1 that played well on the PS3 until firmware 1.6 came out

Fricking hell, why are there trolls even for this game?

Anyhow, personally, i wish they'd change the sprites...

But releasing this after capcom puzzle world is just cheeating...

I love this game to death. I'm glad to hear that they're balancing out the characters...though, honestly, I don't like the new look. This is one game I prefer to have in it's original form. The 3D explosive graphics look fake and thrown in, where as the original crashing effect looked perfect. Hopefully you can go back to the original game, like you can with most XBL games, but that's yet to be seen.

DO WANT.

lol, ahh 4chan

Anyway, it would be nice to see more multiplatform arcade releases like this. They do it for regular off the shelf titles, so why not XBLA/PSN?

one of the most enjoyable puzzle games evah..

I'm happy their redo'n the graphics for HD widesreens... that something that's bugged me since day one when downloading some of the classics (castlevania, TMNT). Having to stare at the annoying, grainy sidebar artwork the entire time.. like a constant reminder i should be playing something easier on the eyes...

thank the gods.

Way to go Capcom, you just got my money previously reserved for Guitar Hero 2 downloadables!
