Tetris

Tetris (WiiWare)

The newest addition to the Tetris series, much like Dr. Mario, will be somewhat basic, but features Wi-Fi multiplayer, so up to 6 players can play each other, or you can try to play Tetris in an extra wide playing field together with a friend.

As much as I love Tetris I don't really see how this is going to improve anything Tetris DS already offered.

That large playing screen seems interesting. I'm expecting you can go on the other players side and that you only need to complete a row of ten instead of the entire row.

I hope they release the NES version too... on second thought, I hope that they port all of the Gameboy games over to the Virtual Console... that would be awesome. So many great games. Nintendo is sitting on a cash cow, man. It would be foolish for them not to port over the Gameboy classics.

I think they are waiting to release the next proper handheld before doing a "Virtual Handheld" service.

I wouldn't want to play it on handheld. :( I want to play it on a TV. Maybe they'll do both... ;)

Remember the Super Game Boy? They should release Game Boy games for Virtual Console as if they were being played on that on the actual Super Nintendo console.

Yeah, I remember. It was a great idea. :) Hopefully, they'll remember how great it was. Plus it would make them a ton of money. They have nothing to lose.

Yeah Jonno, Tetris was invented by Alexey Pajitnov. He used the game to test his computer at the time, and Nintendo tried to get the rights to it, but the KGB was trying to get the money from it. It's an interesting story. You can watch a documentary on it at http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3637639460474263178

It's at the end of the documentary, but you should watch the whole thing... it's amazing. Interviews with Shigeru Miyamoto and everything. I get a little teary everytime I watch it. :)

I never really took interest in Tetris DS since I seemed content enough with the first two instalments, but this will do well to get a lot of people involved beyond just the old gameboy phase, even maybe the elders of the household. I'll be keeping an eye on this one :)

Will this include offline multiplayer? and how many people can play offline? and also, can you play with 2 players (using the same wii) against other people online?

DJ Triforce: awesome link!

I'm another who'll be getting this one. I've only ever owned Tetris on the NES & Gameboy. I no longer have the NES copy--haven't for some time--and would prefer the bright, pretty colors of this over the GB version. There, I said it.

For 800? I'll pass. Even with Wi-Fi, how much Tetris do we need, really. xD

Besides, I'm not that into Tetris anyway.
