EDIT: The hell? It ate the rest of my post. Well, my tl;dr's were pretty concise and to the point, so maybe that is for the better, haha. I guess the only important detail from my original post before things blew up was that I heard about this on Hard Drop, but I don't think anyone posted the cache from before the details were removed. I'll probably link it there later. Also, I thought Shadow was kind of cool, but I'm pretty much done with that. The best part about Tetris Party was that I was able to turn a profit on it with the tournaments. tl;dr: At least given what we know right now, it pretty much just sounds like another one of those "just Tetris" games that they push out from time to time. I really would hope it would be quite faster than the original, but I'm thinking that's pretty unlikely. It doesn't look like it'll offer me anything that'd warrant a purchase, but at the very least I'm glad it gives a nod to 20G with Master. tl;dr of my tl;dr: I probably won't be buying it, but at least it looks to cover a slightly wider scope.
i think they work hard on it. and ttc could push out much more tetris games imo. tetris is kinda dead. (yes i said that!!) only game that kept it alive was tetris ds for a few years. my hope is that dsi tetris will push it again. but i doubt it.
The game was announced a while ago. Will be released spring next year. Haven't seen the details above before though. Some of the features look interesting. I will probably buy the game if it's not too expensive just to add to my collection. And Tetris is hardly dead seeing its popularity online and on portable devices.
i found this on gamefront.de --- Aktuelle Altersfreigaben der USK 22.01.09 - Hier sind aktuelle Alterseinstufungen der USK (Unterhaltungssoftware Selbstkontrolle) für Deutschland. Tetris Party Deluxe (PSP, Tetris Online Inc.) Freigegeben ohne Altersbeschränkung gemäß § 14 JuSchG --- so maybe tpd might also come to psp.
Weird, a PSP Tetris only came out a few months ago, but I guess that was just a PSP mini title, so maybe they think it's okay to release a beefier version too.
Tetris Party Deluxe Hands-On wth video http://www.gamespot.com/wii/puzzle/tetrispartydeluxe/news.html?sid=6251947&mode=previews idk why they wait so long to release it... can't wait for the ds version.
Almost certainly not. I don't think there have yet been any DSi-exclusive cart-based games. However, it's possible that there could be some frivolous DSi-exclusive features.
Nope, it'll be a retail release. ...which really brings the value into question. It doesn't sound like they're adding that much new content over the WiiWare release. Of course, if this means they'll hold more tournaments, it might still be worth buying...
It was originally going to be DSiWare if I remember correctly. I guess it became large enough that they figured they could turn it into a retail release. This is especially because people want a new DS Tetris game after Tetris DS went out of print, and releasing it only on DSiWare would limit sales to DSi (XL) owners...
Hmm, that will round out the releases to every Nintendo platform: WiiWare, Wii, DS, and DSiWare. Are they all going to be inter-operable in terms of online play? That has the potential of limiting online play to whatever's in the WiiWare release, though.
it's a new game with additional modes... master mode, vs co-op, bombliss and more. comes out in june i believe. seeing as how the first game as basically free... and then some I don't ming buying the upgrade.
I assume Caithness was simply wondering whether the new games had backwards-compatible versus, for the maximum opponent pool size. Personally I'd love to see cross-platform versus.
wii tetris party wifi will be compatible with wii tetris party deluxe wifi. no cross platform online play. dsi ware tetris party live will come before june i think. tetris party deluxe will come to ds and wii in june.
I'll get it, unfortunately the button config in TP doesn't transfer to my joystick well so I don't know how much I'll actually play it. I doubt there will be customizable buttons, but that would make my day.
