Shaping up to be a good day!
With a new update for Nintendo Entertainment System – Nintendo Switch Online application, version 7.0.0 adds Tetris to the current line-up of available NES games. For a quick reminder of what the original Tetris entails, we’ve got you covered with the following NSO provided game description:
Tetris (Nintendo)
Released in: 1989
Number of Players: 1
Enjoy this version of the beloved puzzle game released for the Nintendo Entertainment System in North America in 1989. Stack the seven types of Tetrimino blocks that fall from the top of the Matrix into horizontal lines to gain points and clear lines from the screen. Though the rules are simple, you’ll need speed and strategy to achieve a high score! Play in two modes: A-TYPE, where it’s game over when the Tetriminos reach the top of the screen, or B-TYPE, where you’ll aim for the highest score you can within 25 lines.
