I’m pretty sure I’ll be getting this, can’t beat a good old game of tetris. Co-op tetris looks pretty cool too. Can’t wait!

This is just too good to pass up!
I will definitely be getting this!
Wii Balance Board enabled? WOW! I cannot wait to play that mode!

SWEET!
Man I am a sucker for Tetris. I think I have it in at least one form for every system I have. Hope this one has a mission mode and original music w/music select options.

That co-op mode where two players place their own pieces on a wider playing field at the same time was first seen way back in the on the NES in Tengen’s unlicensed and not quite legal version of Tetris which got pulled from the shelves. It’s about dang time for a comeback. I have a sneaking suspicion that this is gonna’ cost a lot if wii points. I have no bones about paying $20 for a wiiware title as long as it’s tetris.

This looks awesome. A WiiWare game with 18 modes. The fact that it is has the most important mode, endless, makes it an instant buy. Adding a mode for the balance board is sweet. As long as they don’t screw up the controls, which is near impossible with Tetris, this is an absolute must buy.
