Germany's USK software rating board spills the beans.

 In a filing submitted on November 26, Germany's USK (software ratings board) has revealed Tetris Party Deluxe.    

Listed as coming to the Nintendo Wii, the title will be published by Tetris Online Inc., who also published the original Tetris Party for WiiWare in North America and Europe. There is no developer listed, but the original game was created by Hudson Soft and released in October 2008.    

No release date for Tetris Party Deluxe is known, and it is currently not clear if it will be another WiiWare game or a disc-based title.  The game is receiving a USK 0, indicative of no age restriction on the title in Germany.

I hope this is a retail release, and the name of it makes me think it will be. It'd be kind of weird if they released a deluxe version of a download game onto the download service, unless they allowed those who downloaded the original to get the new version for cheaper.

Come on, Hudson. The Tetrominoes have been exploited in almost every imaginable way. Does the world really need this? It wouldn't surprise me if Tetris Party Deluxe is the same game as the first one on WiiWare with a few extra superfluous modes.

That isn't much of a problem if it's a retail release, because then it can reach a much wider audience. I'll get it if it is.

Hopefully, the online modes will work between the two versions.

Hopefully, if it is WiiWare, they give the owners of the original a reduced price like Nintendo did for Wii Fit owners wanting Wii Fit Plus.
