We had lots of fun playing this game, usually while having a few beers before hitting the town. It was so fun that we often missed the train (which ment 30 min more gameplay). Still as fun today! As mentioned, two player is a must.

I had actually never heard of this game until i saw it on the list of upcoming topics for Together Retro. I went out and picked up the one my local retro game shop had on the shelf for like 9 bucks and me and the wife played it for hours it seems. Great fun and a good article again

i first played this on a saturn demo that also had playable versions of 3 dirty dwarfs, virtual on and bug 2. i would play the demo until i was old enough to get a job and buy a new copy for 20 dollars back in 1999. this along with dragonball z legends and x-men vs street fighter were my favorite games. and the first tomb raider as well. after reading your articles i bought a modded saturn about a year ago to relive these memories, not to mention my frustration with emulation. its just to slow. great article.

@d, I’m pretty sure it hasn’t been released elsewhere.
I don’t think it sold very well — surprised they didn’t rename it for the English-speaking world.

Well, at its core, Puzzle Fighter is really just a clone of Baku Baku. Granted, Puzzle Fighter is cuter and more appealing, but I personally like them both as far as the game goes — and to be honest, I feel like I get more out of Baku Baku. But again, I would recommend the Saturn version for sure.

@Racketboy: I do like Puzzle Fighter. It is intense, challenging and visually pleasing. This one (8-bit) isn’t any of those. I’ve yet to play the saturn game but it looks the same gameplay-wise.
