Not sure if it's the same as 'Tower Climber' and 'AR Climber'. Or maybe it's in there renamed.Gravijah said:none of those are the tower thingy from tetris ds, are they?

It's possible, because 3DS game cards under 1Gbyte are probably using the same internals as DS games. However, remember that 256 and 512MByte game cards were "top-range" DS cards, so I doubt they'll go reach $20.beje said:Confirmed as a low-price release in Europe as well. 30 on retail, around 20-21 (18 pounds) in Amazon UK.

Nuclear Muffin said:Good news. Mind you though, it's not the first "budget" release on the 3DS (Puzzle Bobble universe was £29.99)
Here's hoping for a £19.99 price here in the UK. That would be perfect! (and Tetris Party Deluxe on DS did very well at that price point in Europe as well!)

me too, I would have definitely buy it. It is not a game that I want to always play, but it is a game that I want to always be able to play (occasionally), this is some place that I wish 3DS had been up to with Vita.M3d10n said:I want this as a download, dammit. I want it permanently in my 3DS menu.
Hmm, I didn't know that.Nuclear Muffin said:No, they're not the same internals. 3DS cards use completely different tech.
A 256MB 3DS card is actually cheaper to produce than a 256MB DS card according to what Iwata said in the last Investor Q&A.
I think Nintendo (or some 3rd party) will release some retail 3DS games on the eShop eventually, probably as a kind of "Player's Choice". However, they'll probably wait until the title's shelf life runs out and even then probably only games 512MBs and under will make it, initially (games using 1GB and larger carts would be troublesome since the included SD card is only 2GBs).walking fiend said:me too, I would have definitely buy it.

at least e-Picross may be a sign of good things to come.
How can you possibly ruin Tetris? What makes Tetris DS the best version compared to others (the 3DS one, for example)?
Nintendo fans like Nintendo references.What makes Tetris DS the best version compared to others (the 3DS one, for example)?
That, and it doesn't have horrible versions of royalty free music like the 3DS version (that I recall anyways).Hitokage said:Nintendo fans like Nintendo references.
Well, I dunno about best, but it's more an indicator of how cheap most of the Tetris products out there are. Take Tetris Splash or Tetris Live. They play OK. But in looks and music they seem sloppy and cheap, barely above z-grade free-to-play games. Also, many people think primarily of the Game Boy game when they think of Tetris.Sagitario said:What makes Tetris DS the best version compared to others (the 3DS one, for example)?
That's definitely a reason, but honestly the supertight control, kick-ass multiplayer, mode variety, and overall production value make it the best Tetris with or without NES references. Hudson missed a lot of important gameplay control intricacies that Nintendo used in Tetris DS.Hitokage said:Nintendo fans like Nintendo references.

Hudson's production values are also garbage smartphone quality backgrounds, and seeing my useless Mii marching while I play is one of the last thing I want on my screen. They're definitely decent Tetris iterations, but Tetris DS really raised the bar.

Besides, there's also the Tetris: TGM series.

AlexMeloche said:Interesting name. Better than Tetris 3D.
Outside nonstandard modes the main thing that actually differentiates one Guideline Tetris game from another is control respnse and autoshift timings(DAS) and quite frankly Tetris DS falls short with its slow autoshift. Tetris Splash may lack single player modes but it performs much better, perhaps to a fault as there isn't any delay from one allowed hard drop input to another. Tetris on the PS3 strikes a nice balance by being only a smidge less responsive than Tetris Splash while providing more modes. There really isn't an excuse for slow DAS because Super Tetris 3 by Bullet Proof Software had modern piece movement almost two decades ago. It also had lock delay but no wallkicks.ace harding: private eye said:That's definitely a reason, but honestly the supertight control, kick-ass multiplayer, mode variety, and overall production value make it the best Tetris with or without NES references.
