For those who need a friendly reminder, Nintendo Switch Online recently added the NES version of Tetris onto their NES gimmick. This is significant in that not only has this version not seen a re-release since 1989, but it also marks the first time that Japanese audiences would be exposed to this version of Tetris, which never saw the light of day on the Famicom back then. Considering the amount of Tetris games they were getting, I don’t think they’d be missing much, but still, it’s a treat.
In addition to NES Tetris, the Game Boy gimmick also added Tetris DX among their ranks. Tetris DX is the Game Boy Color upgrade with more play modes and slightly tweaked game mechanics that makes for a smoother controlling game. So if you’ve got an NSO subscription, you can sample both games to your heart’s content… as well as abuse rewind and save states for alleged expert plays.
Remember… Alexey wants you to “play Tetris, my friends.”
Not “Cheat at Tetris, you capitalist pigs.”
