Sega's Puyo Puyo franchise is heading to the Wii, to be released in Japan on July 26. It actually exists on the Wii right now in the form of Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine on the Virtual Console. So why would you want to buy a full-priced Puyo game when there's a perfectly serviceable entry available for cheap?
We actually have an answer for this one (the best kind of question, we think): sumptuous four-player Puyo-ing. Check out some screens and decide for yourself if that and the wacky new play modes (co-op, a single-player dual-Wiimote mode) are worth the price of admission. Of course, there's another possible motivator for wanting this version over the Genesis version: fear of Dr. Robotnik and his foul machine.

I can only get so far in Tetris. Around level 11 when I have to start sliding the tetriminoes under each other and last minute rotations. When I rented Sonic Mega Collection, I maybe got to level 6 or more I couldn't keep up with the speed.

Aaah, but Mean Bean is PURE Puyo Puyo, in it's original style, with sprites not 3D blobs, and no sick-enducing screen spinning going on. (seriously, wtf!?)
