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.
