Nintendo decided to pull out a little surprise announcement today... I saw something about Tetris for the DS posted on Nintendo's E3 site last year but then it suddenly vanished... but all of a sudden we have a new game coming out in just two months without any advance warning.
Anyways, Tetris DS is being made by Nintendo and... of course... it'll use the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Yes, that means ONLINE TETRIS with 2-4 players, complete with stat tracking and a rating system to let you know how you match up to others. Plus there's going to be six different game modes as well, *and* - as the icing on the cake - each of the modes have a classic Nintendo theme to them. One for SMB, one for Zelda, etc. Looks like three of the modes are Classic, Puzzle and Online. This was a very pleasant surprise to come home and see. Two screenshots here. |

...
I've never been much of a fan of the original Tetris, but this looks quite worthwhile... |

Items? Interesting...
Looks cool, but I'd prefer Tetris Attack. |

My guess is that Boo makes you unable to see what blocks are coming next, which WOULD actually be a good attack.
I think if they don't mess this up (Tetris Worlds by THQ -> BAD idea) it'll be fine. As long as online mode works as it should then it'll be worth the $30. |

Oh. No. WAY. I want this...online Tetris? Items? Oldschool themes? Oh, and did I mention its TETRIS. Oh maaaan....I'm counting down the days until this sees a Japanese release | |||

I don't know when it is. I mean, it's almost definite it will but it's coming to North America in March and to Europe in May.
By the way, some sites have it down as being by THQ but that's not true. Nintendo themselves said it was being done in-house by one of their development teams. Dunno which one. |

America, Europe, whatever. Wherever it comes out first I'll just grab it up I'm a puzzler freak...Tetris and I were best friends back in middleschool (I still play Tetris + Dr. Mario to this day) ._.;; this is a godsend to someone like me. | |||
Schweiz oder etwas [12:55] (Dr_Death16); I swear, the word drama needs to be stricken from the dictionary, for I've heard it so many times, it will permanently be imprinted on my brain Since: 11-17-05 From: Kingston, Rhode Island Last post: 6430 days Last view: 6430 days |

Hrm, it looks like Mario Mode is kind of like an action-puzzle game? Maybe, and this is just speculation, the game features a separate algorithm for levels where a set block type will come down, and your movements of that block correspond with Mario's actions? The simple A/B style of the block turning and the old school Mario games would depict a similar possible action. Imagine pulling an X1/X2 and playing both games at the same time...
Nah, that's nigh-impossible. Would make for an interesting game, though. |

I challenge everybody. Though I'll lose. | |||

Seconded but I'll win at least half of my matches.
It's pretty sad when something's announced and within 2 minutes of me reading the announcement, I've decided to buy it. |

Wow, they made online Tetris sound like it won't be boring.
I'll be so jealous when it's released. |

Well, I'm glad it's not simply traditional Tetris, since I can't stand playing that game for more than 5 minutes. It's so incredibly boring.
Can't wait until it comes out; this one might be pretty fun to at least to play online. (edited by NetSplit on 01-11-06 01:39 AM) |

Originally posted by HyperHacker Wait a second. Doesn´t it LOOK like Tetris attack? If not, what´s that Boo item for? *reads Colin's post* Ah. I wasn´t really interested in thye original tetris either but I agree with Alastor. It does look fun. "Haa...this Wi-Fi Connection better work with my building's router I really want to be able to play all of you." I want to play you too if I get this. You know how the Wi-Fi works, right? If it doesn´t work, you must add your DS's MAC Address to the router and the routers IP to you DS and some more things. My Wi-Fi connection works. |

Look like Tetris attack? Tetris Attack...Panel de Pon...not even real Tetris Tetris is four segmented blocks alligned in horizontal columns, not colored squares flipped around! | |||
Trapster King Dedede Since: 11-19-05 From: Sweden Last post: 6538 days Last view: 6431 days |
| ||
Yeah, but you can attack your opponent, right?
Isn´t it the same in this game? |

What's Next? Puzzle Collection Online?
Anyway, if Mario Kart wasn't the Killer-App for Online-Play, Tetris will be the ultimate reason to get Wireless at Home. |

Ailure Mr. Shine I just want peace... Since: 11-17-05 From: Sweden Last post: 6431 days Last view: 6430 days |

Meh, yet another reason I need to get a router. I figured out how to bridge the wireless from the laptop with the help of ad-hoc mode, but I rather use the desktop for internet...
Meh, at least it's going to add some depth in a game that I get easily bored on for some reason. :/ I tend to prefer the other puzzle games over Tetris. |
