Capcom Brings Capcom Puzzle World to PSP
Compilation of Super Puzzle Fighter II, Block Block, and Buster Bros. Collection is coming to Sony's portable in Q2 2006.
As is the case every year, Capcom used its annual Capcom Gamers' Day
event to announce several new titles. Given the Japanese publisher's
massive catalog, it should come as little surprise that it is releasing
a compilation of classic puzzle games for the PlayStation Portable in
the second quarter of 2006.
Capcom Puzzle World is a compendium of old-school console
puzzlers shrunken down for the PSP. First up is a revamped version of
Super Puzzle Fighter II, which will feature new gameplay options
previously exclusive to the Japanese version of the game: Super Puzzle
Fighter II: Y, which allows for chain-reaction, come-from-behind wins,
and Super Puzzle Fighter II: Z, which has bricks falling up instead of
down.
Another game included in Capcom Puzzle World is a port of the 1990
arcade game Block Block. The game allows cooperative block-breaking for
two players, who must manipulate constantly shrinking paddles to clear
the blocks.
Last but not least is the three-in-one Buster Bros. Collection, which
was originally released for the PlayStation. As the name implies, the
game is itself a compilation of three arcade puzzle shooters: Buster
Bros., Super Buster Bros., and Buster Buddies.
All five games included in Capcom Puzzle World have been optimized for
the PSP system's 16x9 letterbox screen, and all will support ad hoc
wireless multiplayer. The collection will also feature a snapshot mode
that lets players record their moments of triumph and lets them import
their own pictures to use as level backgrounds.
