Perhaps, a more fitting term is cousin? @HB3 / TreeFrog - Yeah, I’ve seen Jigsaw Madness, but all the characters are new so I suppose this would be a new franchise the same way Shin Megami Tensei and Persona are different.

Check out Jigsaw Madness for the PS1 by NIS (not sure if this is the same game as TreeFrog mentions.) Debatable whether or not this is not an existing franchise…

I've played "Doki doki shuttter chance" - one of their earlier games, which has a similar premise (a competitive jigsaw solving game). Fundamentally, solving jigsaws in a hurry just wasn't a very interesting as a game mechanic, so lets hope the fighting-type elements can spice this one up.
