Hudson to bring online Tetris to Wii Ware

A translation of the announcement by our good friends over at Engadget Japan reveals support for up to six Wi-Fi players, planned downloadable content and gameplay-altering items activated with Wii remote shaking. Hudson says they expect at least one million downloads for the title after it's simultaneous worldwide release this summer (for an undetermined price). If you just can't wait and/or pay, may we suggest the free and/or currently-available Tetrinet.

If priced right, I will definitely buy it.

Man, who ever is playing in the screen shot is screwed. Where can he put that piece?!

rotate it 180º and put it 1 square left of the right edge, allowing a little chasm for the stick (what else is it called?) tetrimo to score a lovely Tetris.
Come on that's first grade stuff :p

... they should make more brainteasers like that in the Daily Papers.

I currently play iminlikewithyou, with is lovely with the items turned off. I hope this has a 'junk' mode, because the best tetris clone for the mac is quinn, which just allows you to play forever with no real connection with what you're doing and how it affects your opponent.
Also, to anybody who's played the gameboy version, this needs a 'type b' mode for a quick bit of fun.

The aforementioned site just added funny non-tetris blocks. Screw those guys.

This was inevitable. I'm not sure I'd pay for it, though. Given that I can play the same game on my PC and every other console I own.

It certainly IS a good thing Nintendo that Hudson Tetris announced. When 900 lines you clear, score as high, you will not.

I'm going to buy Dr.Mario and this. Perfect for killing time, if I have any.

Get Planet Puzzle League for DS. Sure, it doesn't have Yoshi, but it does have Wi-Fi with voice chat, and really good Touch Screen control.

Nice, Nintendo makes the best Tetris games.

I just hope there's a classic mode without "gameplay-altering items."

Hope it rocks harder than Tetris on the DS.
I'd kill for a Tetris Grandmaster though.

So how long until we get Tetrisphere on the VC?
