Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.

lock if old.

According to a new update on Nintendo eShop, the Game Boy version of Tetris will no longer be able to purchase from 31 December, nor will Nintendo's own Nintendo 3DS retail version of Tetris.

Both games will remain available to download by anyone who purchases the software before it is removed from general sale.

It is not known whether the removal is caused by licensing issues or by the release of the Ubisoft title Tetris Ultimate, which launched on 20 November.

I'd love to know the history of rights for Tetris. I feel like every major publisher has used the name "Tetris" before.
 
Damn, I'll only be buying the 3DS in 2015.
If only we could buy games through a webstore, like in PlayStation... Bye bye best version of Tetris... :(
 
Original Game Boy Tetris? That's still a really good version, shame for people who won't get to check it out that way.
 
The article's a little confusing since Nintendo didn't publish Tetris Axis in Europe. Tetris Online Inc. selfpublished it.
