Baku Baku arrived late, in 1996, almost solely through Tec Toy in Brazil, by which point no Western market still fed the console. This Sega puzzler, made popular in arcades and on the Saturn, stands as a late rarity on the Master System, its small Brazilian run sustaining firm prices. Interest comes from that off-calendar release more than from any genre fame.
Is Baku Baku still worth playing in 2026?
A falling puzzle from Sega, Baku Baku rests on a tasty idea, matching animals with the food they devour to trigger cascading chains. The blend of fast thinking and planning offers an addictive depth, and the two player versus is the whole flavour of the title. The playful art direction and the perfect readability have not aged a day. For a competitive puzzle fan, someone curious about alternatives to Columns or Tetris or a player after snappy matches, the title keeps an immediate effectiveness and a still current pleasure.
