Julius Posted August 27 Posted August 27 (edited) Quote Tetris® Forever is coming to Nintendo Switch in 2024! The true story of Tetris, the game that still captivates the world after 40 years. In Tetris Forever, an all-new interactive documentary game from the retro specialists at Digital Eclipse, you can play more than 15 different classic Tetris games while exploring the history of the series through over an hour of all-new documentary footage.

Dcubed Posted August 27 Posted August 27 Seems like it’s a collection of all the Bullet Proof Software Tetris (+ Hatris. I like Hatris, glad to see it here) games. They’ve shown only 9 of the “more than 15 titles”, so that means the remaining games will probably be the following… V-Tetris, Tetris X, Tetris S, Tetris 4D, Tetris Blast and Welltris. Sick collection. Well hyped for Tetris Battle Gaiden, have wanted to play that one for years!
Julius Posted August 30 Author Posted August 30 Almost forgot to share, but Maximilian Dood was over the moon about this getting announced: Man, ya never know just how much someone's into Tetris until a collection like this happens, ya know? 1 2
Jimbob Posted September 2 Posted September 2 How much is too much Tetris?. We could find out here, and couple that with the NES Tetris coming to NSO as well.
martinist Posted September 2 Posted September 2 I'll never say no to a bit of Tetris. Probably going to pick this up, there's so many games in there.

This new take on the classic lets players “warp” through different eras of Tetris, experiencing a dynamic mix of graphics, playstyles, and mechanics in real-time. Additional titles may be added on or after release date. Key Features The Game that Started It All – Digital Eclipse has prepared an authentic recreation of the first version of Tetris, which Alexey Pajitnov created on a Soviet “Electronika 60” computer system.

Interactive Timeline – Explore a virtual museum with archival materials, including video featurettes, photos, original ads, and playable games restored in high-definition and presented chronologically.

Shaping up to be a really nice package. With no date and just 2½ months left, this has to be shadow-dropping during or after an event, right? 1
Dcubed Posted October 10 Posted October 10 (edited) Pretty much the list of games I expected, though it ended up having the NES and GB versions of more BPS Tetris titles instead of some of the more obscure BPS Tetris games. Shame that the original Electronika 60 version of Tetris is only a recreation and not the actual original ROM being emulated, but it’s nice to see a recreation anyway. Tetris Time Warp sounds cool. Quite similar to what Puyo Puyo 20th Anniversary did with its own respective series Edited October 10 by Dcubed
Julius Posted October 15 Author Posted October 15 Key art and a release date of November 12th it is! 1
Julius Posted Friday at 08:45 PM Author Posted Friday at 08:45 PM The MS-DOS Welltris is coming to the collection. Quote Welcome to a Welltris wonderland! We're adding the MS-DOS game to #TetrisForever today, along with control improvements. Look for it today; the Switch update will also fix the SFC stutter bug. More improvements due in 2025! And according to Chris Kohler, more could be on the way: Quote ADDITIONALLY, we have announced: - We are working on a BIG update to Tetris Time Warp with lots of new features. - We are actively exploring adding even more games. - We are aware that saved game functionality is not working as it should, and a fix should hit early January. Well, I guess it's time to start the wait for the definitive and complete collection in Tetris Forever And Ever, amirite? 1
