this is what happens when you milk a series to death. before eidos and tomb raider, there was compile and puyo puyo.
they made some really awesome games, but this is their own doing. i knew they were doomed when they had to sell puyo puyo to sega to stay afloat.
wonder what's up with pochittonya? (their latest puzzler. for more details see: http://www.gamers.com/game/1212280 )
As sad as it is, I'd have to agree. Puyo Puyo 2 is puzzle perfection and Compile should've returned to shooters and adventure games after that.Quote:

Puyo Puyo Da was pretty good.
Well, the music was good, anyways...
Ferricide starts out by saying what I was going to, unfortunate as this news may be.
Shooters? Psh. Let's make another 12 fucking Puyo games.
now that's just sad. to be honest, i don't know of many games by compile, but puyo puyo is excellent. ..in most of its incarnations, anyway.
what else have they done? i remember reading about a shooter or two..
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!:(
guardian's crusade (NES) stands out.. as does the aleste series. (MUSHA on genesis, robo aleste for sega CD, others whose US titles i forget.) also zanac, and more recently zanac x zanac for PS. just lots of good, neato shooters.
oops: i meant guardian legend. guardian's crusade is the crap PS RPG by tamsoft, the makers of toshinden.
epmode: Gun*Nac, The Guardian Legend, M.U.S.H.A. Aleste and Zanac were some of their better known releases.
Compile's best days were behind them but this is still sad. Their shooters had a charm to them unlike any others'. I enjoyed their Action/RPGs too; I just wish more of them came out in English. The Randar games look really nice.
And here's another game I would like to check out, Wander Wonder.

ferricide, Black Arts Viper: that's odd. i've played quite a few of those, but had no idea they were by the same company. should have payed more attention, i guess.
