Tetris Coming to Wii Ware
When it comes to classic, simple, addicting games, few have had quite so much longevity as Tetris. There have been some clones and 3-d versions over the years but the original experience remains quite strong. With the launch of Wii Ware approaching, companies are beginning to announce some of the games they’ll be creating for it. Hudson and Tetris Online have announced that we’ll be seeing tetratic blocks falling all over again. In addition to the normal single player experience, there’ll be some motion control options and of course an online mode where you can face off against up to six people at a time. There’ll also be a mode where you have to deal with obstacles in your pursuit of the ever-difficult ‘tetris’. I’d love to see a mode where you have to get the blocks in place while a friend on the same console has tools he or she can use to frustrate your efforts via moving pieces, creating holes or plugging gaps.
