I’m not making it any secret that I am quite happy to see more puzzle games making their way to arcades again as I feel that they are a perfect fit for the environment provided by our facilities. They are easy to play, easy to understand and appeal to a wide-array of people in all age groups and both sexes. So that’s why I’m mentioning this location test for a new puzzle game that is testing for an undetermined amount of time in Japan called the Puzzle of Ocha. The game looks like a sort of Columns clone but it uses cute animals instead of gems. While it’s doesn’t look like a graphical powerhouse by any means, it’s always good to add another puzzle game to the list of releases.

Whoa. Is this the first Japanese made PGM2 game?
I think KOF98UM Hero was a Chinese port. At any rate, I hope this catches on like wildfire and eventually floods the secondary market!
