USK rates Tetris Party Deluxe for Wii

November 30th, 2009 at 10:00am Under Wii / Nintendo

Everyone’s favorite — and fun to say! — ratings board, the Unterhaltungssoftware Selbstkontrolle has unveiled a new Tetris game for the Wii. Well, that might be a little generous, as the game is actually Tetris Party Deluxe, presumably a sequel to 2008’s Tetris Party. The new game comes again from publisher Tetris Online, meaning it’s probably not one of Majesco’s recently announced Wii and DS Tetris projects. The listing doesn’t make it clear whether the game is a retail title or — like the original — a WiiWare release.

Majesco has partnered with Tetris Online Inc to bring two new versions of the popular puzzle game Tetris to the Wii and DS next spring.

That’s all we know at the moment, other than the two partners are happy to be working together, as evidenced by these comments.

“We are thrilled to partner with Tetris Online to release one of the world’s most popular video games of all time,” said Jesse Sutton, Chief Executive Officer, Majesco. “Everyone plays TETRIS, from casual players to seasoned pros, making it a must-have game for Wii and Nintendo DS owners of all ages.”

Majesco bringing more Tetris to DS and Wii

August 20th, 2009 at 02:15pm Under DS

Tetris is currently available on the Wii in the form of Tetris Party, and sort of available on DS (if you don’t mind eBay) as Tetris DS. Today, Majesco announced that it will add to the Tetris selection with the release of new Tetris games for Nintendo platforms in spring 2010. No specific details or media have been released, so we don’t know about any theme or gameplay variations that may be included — though we can be quite certain that it won’t be based on classic Nintendo characters. Tetris Online, Inc. is working with Majesco, suggesting that these are downloadable releases.

Between the release of Tetris on iPhone and announcement of a PSP mini Tetris game from EA, and these two upcoming releases from Majesco, it’s suddenly a wonderful time to like Tetris. Which is just a different way of saying it’s a wonderful time to be anyone on the planet Earth.
