Well, it did come from the SS press release.

Haha

 

[hatchx]

Nintendo will launch the upcoming Tetris®: Axis game for Nintendo 3DS systems on Oct. 2.
The Professor Layton and the Last Specter™ game for the Nintendo DS family of systems will launch Oct. 17.

The original portable Tetris® game was a smash hit on the Game Boy™ system. The new Tetris: Axis game lets players use the magic of the Nintendo 3DS system to jump into the action in 3D without the need for special glasses. The game includes more than 20 different modes – some familiar, some new. Up to eight players can compete in wireless multiplayer battles, even if only one player has a game card**. Tetris: Axis also makes use of the augmented-reality and SpotPass™ features of Nintendo 3DS. Tetris: Axis is part of a stirring fall lineup for Nintendo 3DS that also includes Pokémon™ Rumble Blast (launching Oct. 24), Super Mario 3D Land™ (November) and Mario Kart™ 7 (December).

So Kid Icarus delay confirmed?

Was I the only one excited for Sakurai's new action-adventure title and the return of a twenty-year-old franchise?

Maybe just not fall, early winter?

followed by Super Mario™ 3D Land in November, Mario Kart™ 7 in December and Kid Icarus™: Uprising during the holiday season

I thought holiday season meant pre-christmas?

When did January and February become holiday season?

Screenshots?

There are some on its page on the Nintendo site here:

For those wondering, this is the sequel to Hudson's Tetris Party on Wii and DS.

These were excellent versions of Tetris that took a Tetris DS style approach to the game and included some fantastic additional modes like Bombliss, Co-Op Tetris and Field Climber.

From the looks of what we've seen, this looks to be another fantastic Tetris game and well worth keeping an eye on for any fans of Tetris DS or Tetris Party (especially for the AR Tetris mode, looks awesome!)

 

[Nuclear Muffin]

SORRY, THEY'RE NOT FOLLOWING THE GUIDELINE

They have been loosening up on the guidelines recently though. Tetris Party dumps the infinite rotation rule in all multiplayer modes!

I never even considered the idea of Nintendo re-licensing Tetris. But if they're the publisher for Tetris Axis, then I guess they'd have to wouldn't they?

Would be a good time to push for the release of Tetris GB and Tetris NES on the VC in that case!

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

Considering you can play Tetris for free on practically everything short of a toaster I don't think I'll be spending $40 on this, but at the same time if any game deserves more money, it's Tetris.

So conflictedddddddd

 

[cartman414]

Can the Tetris Company please just... cease to be?

 

[gunstarhero]

what makes me think is that why they just don't put this up on eShop? I think Tetris isn't a game that people want to keep in their cartridge for a long time and only play it?

but maybe I am wrong, I have [only] FIFA in my ds for the last whole week.

I know people you never took Tetris out of their Gameboys....ever.

Then again, that was a long time ago... man, I'm old.

 

[GDGF]

I kind of really dig that name

 

[Fernando Rocker]

Does it has online battles?

 

[cacildo]

Alexis Texas is coming to the 3Ds?

This is something i have to see.

 

[GDGF]

I would buy fifteen copies.

 

[electroplankton]

Don't misunderstand, I'm perfectly fine with buying a well-constructed, premium handheld game. But when the competition is offering their version for an affordable $0, Nintendo's $35 version is going to be a hard sell, no matter how many unnecessary 3D graphics are laid on top of an ancient game.

Destructoid

Every occasion is good to repeat over and over the same things acritically without knowing exactly what players want, or what the game is about, uh?

 

[AceBandage]

Needs to be like Tetris DS.

 

[Nemo]

Just gimme Tetris DS online 1 on 1 mode for 3DS

Get that license back Nintendo

 

[chubigans]

Still not Tetrisphere, still not interested!

Absolutely correct.

Man oh man what I wouldn't give to see a new Tetrisphere. What a damn awesome game.

 

[Gravijah]

DID SOMEONE SAY TETRISPHERE

 

[cacildo]

DID SOMEONE SAY TETRISPHERE

Yaeh, but we also said Alexis Texas

 

[Takao]

Yaeh, but we also said Alexis Texas

do you want this thread closed

 

[fernoca]

AR Tetris looks cool in pics. Nice it's coming soon.

 

[A Twisty Fluken]

Was excited until finding out that it's more Hudson instead of a magical secret SPD2 Tetris game.

 

[ConradCervantes]

If Nintendo had gotten their hands on the license and developed it themselves, automatic day one.

 

[DidntKnowJack]

Hmm. I only recently found a copy of Tetris DS, which is outstanding, so I doubt I'll jump on board for this. Besides, I don't think I want a 3 dimensional game of Tetris.

 

[ThaiGrocer]

Tetris has always been amazing when Nintendo is involved. OK, at least in recent memory.

 

[Erekiddo]

Nintendo published? Does that mean this one will vanish from stores after a few months like Tetris DS did?

Came in to say this.

 

[To Far Away Times]

arika mode or they can get their fake-ass tetris out of here

TGM tetris is the best Tetris. Accept no substitutes.

 

[Incitemaybe]

No online Tetris?

Do not want.

No online? I'll stick with the DS version.

 

[ShironRedshift]

No online? I'll stick with the DS version.

It does have online--Boney was incorrect about that and corrected just a few posts later:
http://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/Xfl1XXvhTAfaFrYue1V0O4k0Zas8AYWh

Features
...
Nintendo® Wi‐Fi Connection Game Modes (2P–6P): 3 variants of World Battle

 

[Hitokage]

TGM tetris is the best Tetris. Accept no substitutes.

Arika also made the best version of Dr. Mario.

 

[Truth101]

Will this be anything like the spherical Tetris on N64? That game was the bomb.

 

[watershed]

Interesting to see that Nintendo is publishing this, but that also means it will never get a discount. Will people be willing to spend $35 dollars on tetris? I wonder. I also wonder what kind of advertising Nintendo is gonna put behind this.

 

[Mockingbird]

Hudson? Not Nintendo? Is Nintendo publishing this in Japan as well?

anyways, the good news is it comes with Club Nintendo points. Don't think I'll pick it up unless impressions are superb. Miis aren't even used in the game.

 

[Shiggy]

NoE apparently publishes it on October 28.

 

[Granger Danger]

You say that like it's a bad thing.

 

[jooey]

Miis aren't even used in the game.

Already with the Matt C review?

 

[Jockel]

DID SOMEONE SAY TETRISPHERE

UNFORTUNATELY NOT AND YOU COULD HAVE PICKED A BETTER SONG FROM TETRISPHERE LIKE THIS ONE.

[Shiggy]

Aren't Miis shown in the images you posted there?

 

[beje]

OMG, is that Bombliss from Tetris 3 SNES? If so, get! (we still need confirmation for the PAL release u_u).

Edit: I still don't know why NoE is being so ass-backwards with the last quarter 3DS schedule: leave October completely deserted, release Super Mario 3D Land, Mario Kart 7 and Pokémon Rumble in 2 weeks span (Mario on Nov 25, Kart and Poke on Dec 2) and completely ignore this game. I just don't get it.

 

[Granger Danger]

He means during actual gameplay, not just as ornaments for score overviews and such.

 

[Shiggy]

NoE apparently publishes it on October 28.

Mario 3D Land delayed a week, Tetris Axis prelayed a week
Now coming October 21.

 

[Nuclear Muffin]

Good move. October was looking a bit barren since they delayed Super Pokemon Rumble to December.

Yes that is the same Bombliss mode from Tetris 3 SNES (they had it in Tetris Party Deluxe as well), you should be getting excited!

BTW, for those saying that it should be like Tetris DS. This IS like Tetris DS. If you are a fan of that game (like me!) then you should be very excited for this version of Tetris!

The Mii's expression is hilarious.

A new trailer is up

Huh, it sure looks nice. I am happy to see, that it isn't some kind of a cheap and quick port.

 

[AlphaTwo00]

Wait. Blockout? Is that you? HOLY SHIT!
