Completing the tetralogy: Tetris | NES Works 153

Watch on Youtube

Youtube Video Description:

Here it is: the fourth and final adaptation of the original Tetris to appear on Nintendo in the ’80s. It's the Nintendo one for NES, the best-selling standalone Tetris release of all time, by far the one that I've played the most, and by far the most underwhelming of the carts to ship here in the U.S. in hindsight. Nintendo's NES Tetris lacks the link play of Game Boy Tetris and the wide variety of play options Tengen invested into their redacted rendition. But, on the plus side, it's more fun than the Famicom game. So that's something. Please support this documentation project through Patreon (www.patreon.com/gamespite) or by picking up some of the related books (www.limitedrungames.com/collections/books). AND you can preorder Metroidvania: The First Decade from a fine book chain or comic shop, such as B&N (https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-history-of-metroidvania-jeremy-parish/1148489848?ean=9781506754543). Thanks!
