Puzzle & Dragons W, an updated version of Puzzle & Dragons Z, will be released in Japan on July 29th, GungHo Online Entertainment have announced.   Puzzle & Dragons W will include two games in one—the existing Puzzle & Dragons title that is already available, and a new “Tamadora Mode” where Tamadora eggs have been snatched by a Devitama.   Additionally, GungHo have also announced that the original Puzzle & Dragons has been downloaded 29 million times in Japan to date.  The publisher has been on-the-ball with collaborations with other popular franchises such as Dragon Ball and Saint Seiya to keep the game going.   Finally, GungHo also recently announced that the Nintendo 3DS RPG Puzzle & Dragons Z has shipped over 1.5 million copies in Japan. Given that this was a full-priced retail release, that figure is rather impressive.
