Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix (2007) reviewed by The Well-Red Mage
“To me the arcade experience is the ultimate gaming experience.”
-Eugene Jarvis
Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo HD Remix, or SPF2THDR for “short”, is a PS3 game I recently picked up in the Humble Capcom PlayStation Bundle. I remembered it from the arcades of the 90’s but it was just there to steal my money. I feel like I wasn’t smart enough to get how to play it then. Maybe I’m still not smart enough! *gasp*
Puzzle Fighter II (no way I’m writing out that whole title) is a tile-matching puzzle game in the vein of Tetris, though the gimmick here is the game’s colorfully populated by chibi-fied versions of Capcom characters. You may recognize hardcore bruisers like Ryu, Ken and Chun Li from Street Fighter or femme fatales like Morrigan and Felicia from Darkstalkers. They’ve been turned into chubby cherubs for your weeaboo delight in this pink, ultra-cutesy game about stacking up jewels.
Now as awesome as all that sounds (take a minute to steady your heavy breathing), the downside is there are only eight playable characters. Dozens of fighters in all of Capcom’s rosters and they could only come up with eight for the Puzzle …“To me the arcade experience is the ultimate gaming experience.”

Now as awesome as all that sounds (take a minute to steady your heavy breathing), the downside is there are only eight playable characters. Dozens of fighters in all of Capcom’s rosters and they could only come up with eight for the Puzzle Fighter treatment. At least the final battle with Dan Akuma is hilarious. You get to see the fanged and muscled fighting fiend say: “I am Akuma! Also a master puzzler.”
If you’re thinking “Well hey maybe there’s more characters in the other Puzzle Fighter games”, let me be the one to burst that bubble but there are no other Puzzle Fighter games. This is it. Yeah, I know it’s called Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo, implying there was a first title and this is the sequel. But this game is merely named as a parody of Super Street Fighter II Turbo, and there are no other games. There’s no magic in the world and Santa Claus isn’t real and at the end of the Planet of the Apes you find out it was Earth the whole time. Reality.
