Title: NES Tetris for Classic NES series on GBA
Post by: Rincewind on March 10, 2005, 07:08:57 AM
My wife is crazy about Tetris (as are most women) and the original Mario Bros. I already have a GC, but am considering the purchase of a portable console. As Mario Bros is already out on GBA, I was wondering whether anyone had heard or read something about the original Tetris being announded for release as Classic NES game on the GBA. Would be a cheap solution (and it would be mostly for my wife who doesn't give a toss about 3D and eye candy - she LOVES 2D mario, she HATES 3D mario).
Or should I wait for a Tetris to come out on the DS ?  I've heard that there's another Tetris World coming out on DS, but if it's anything like the GC and GBA versions (which were complete crap), that won't be an option. So, anyone ?

I've heard nothing and realistically I don't think it's feasible.  THQ, who made the terrible Tetris Worlds, currently has the publishing rights to Tetris so Nintendo probably can't legally re-release any of the versions they published.

Your best bet for the GBA is to find a copy of Tetris DX for the GBC which is made by Nintendo and is arguably the best portable version of Tetris ever released.

No argument about it--it is the best portable version of Tetris ever released.

PocketNes works wonderfully, I play tetris for hours on my GBA.  Also just pick up the GBC version it is even better than the NES version.

Sans for the original music, Tetris DX is spot on
