AAH! I can hardly contain my excitement about this game. It looks like it's shaping up to be the most exciting thing to happen to Tetris since, well, Tetris.

The game now features a whole bunch of different game modes, each of which are presented with the aid of oldschool Nintendo franchises (Mario, Metroid, Zelda, you know the drill). The touch screen adds an extra direct control method, and there are loads of strange puzzle modes to explore, some of which seem very interesting. The game also features 10 player multiplayer (on one cartridge!) and equally exciting WiFi capabilities.

Here are some screenshots, courtesy of IGN:

I've already preordered the game. I'm a real puzzle game nut and it seems like I'll be playing this one for hours.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I have the same problem! Well, I know a few people with DSes at school, I don't know how interested they would be in getting owned at Tetris though.

But 1vs1 Tetris is loads of fun. =D

I'm not sure what the plan is with WiFi mode exactly, I haven't really heard much about it. I'm would think it'll work much like Mario Kart DS works, though.

How ya doing, buddy?

Like make explosive blocks that detonate after a few rounds and mess with the board a bit. Or create a new-shaped block. Give me something besides enhanced multiplayer and a longer screen.

Don't post in my thread again, please.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Right on.

How ya doing, buddy?

I just got the game in, but I don't know what you lads are talking about. I beat marathon mode the second or third try, and I'm hardly what you would call a talented Tetris player.

Anyway, the first thing I did was turn off ghost blocks. That just destroys the game. The only disadvantage is the block doesn't appear at the top of the screen, but it appears ABOVE the screen. Once the game speeds up that isn't much of an issue, though.

Anyway... God I love Tetris. Catch is a pretty good alternative, and I love Mission. But I think I'll mostly be playing Marathon on Endless. <3
