Contents GameplaySuper Puzzle Fighter II Turbo is a puzzle game which is inspired by the Capcom arcade game and Sega's arcade game. As in that game, 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 Super 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.As gems are eliminated, 'garbage blocks' called Counter Gems will 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), and until that time they cannot be eliminated by normal means. 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; however, it will always be a smaller number than if the same number of gems had been eliminated as part of a normal chain reaction). The diamond piece appears every 25 pieces.During the game, super deformed versions of various characters from Capcom's two main fighting game series ( Street Fighter and Darkstalkers), will act out a comical battle based on how the game is going. 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.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.HD RemixSuper Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix is a downloadable remake of the original game released on August 29th, 2007 for and August 30th, 2007 for.

The games-as-a-service graveyard grew one larger this week, as Capcom's Puzzle Fighter reboot received an official 'sunset' announcement on Friday. The iOS and Android port of the '90s puzzle series will have its in-game store shut down on Monday, April 23, and its servers will follow suit on July 31—meaning the game will have been playable for only eight months after its late-November launch.

That's because the new, free-to-play Puzzle Fighter includes an always-online requirement so that players can be subjected to the timers and loot-box systems applied to both its single-player and multiplayer modes. Capcom's announcement did not in any way hint to a patch that would let the game work in a wholly offline mode, nor did it hint to any open-sourcing of its content so that dedicated players could, say, prop the game's bones up via DIY servers. Robocraft on pc.

Friday's announcement also didn't reference the fact that this game's reboot recently received PEGI ratings (Europe's equivalent of the ESRB) for PC and consoles. And the language here doesn't give us much hope for a non-mobile port of the Columns-like, match-gems puzzle update. Instead, the post blames the mobile version's cancellation on Capcom Vancouver 'dedicating its focus to our flagship Dead Rising franchise.'

Puzzle Fighter is thus destined to join a growing graveyard of games that relied entirely on live-server environments—and leave their players in the dust when the servers shut down. Puzzle Fighter'

For Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo on the Saturn, GameFAQs has 6 FAQs (game guides and walkthroughs), 16 cheat codes and secrets, 3 reviews, and 3 critic reviews. One of the most popular puzzle games of all time is back with HD graphics, dazzling elemental effects and a new re-balanced X' mode! Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo® HD Remix brings together the worlds of Street Fighter, Darkstalkers and other Capcom characters to provide extremely addictive puzzle mayhem.

s plight is admittedly a little easier to appreciate, given that it launched as a free-to-play product in a mobile marketplace where one-time purchases of $5 or $10 are uncommon. Meaning, this situation doesn't feel quite as egregious a shutdown as the retail-priced likes of Evolve and Battleborn.

Still, in addition to subscribing to the poisonous loot-box economic model—with specific-character purchases being time-limited—Capcom's game also went the disgusting route of requiring access to 'photos, media, and files' in order to operate (as opposed to siloing that kind of system access for those who didn't want Puzzle Fighter rooting around their files). Honestly, Puzzle Fighter's mobile updates and tweaks seemed mostly designed to drive players to accumulate as many extra characters as possible, as the game added 'support characters' to the puzzle battling. With fewer unlocked characters, a player's support strategy options were far more limited, but they mostly worked out to a punishment for those who didn't play by the loot-box and microtransaction rules.

The last just-pay-once version of the series, Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, is currently available on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. It's unclear whether Xbox's backwards-compatible drive was stymied specifically because of Capcom's plans to bring the newer Puzzle Fighter to newer consoles; it's also unclear whether that 360 version will ever be patched to operate on Xbox One consoles.
