40 frames of line clear for Tetris DS doesn't seem that high. There is a line clear animation to consider.

Now it's official.. Tetris Party is getting released today. Should be available for download ~4 hours from now.
I'll see if I can download it during lunch, but if I can't, I'd like some close to immediate notification from ya'll if it supports custom controls. If it does, I'm getting the Hori Wii stick while dicking around at Gamestop tonight.
australian and european version should be available on 24 october... Can't wait to play multiplayer game !!
yay, downloaded and playing! my friend code is 4854 9556 8688 if anyone cares to add me. my mii is named "deep" see you later
Liking the game so far. Notice it isn't "smooth" moving (I don't know how to describe the feel other than that). Study up on this chart and enjoy some Tetrinet action with items on! (I haven't got 6 people in a room yet.. but I guess I should give it more than an hour after the release of the game to see more people on) Me (if you see me, feel free to hit 'select' and hit the d-pad in the direction to request that I go easy on you) Friend code: 279337139648
as far as u can tell there's no custom controls, only option of 2 styles. the only difference between the 2 styles is hold and item are interchanged between 'A' and 'B'. i've been using the snes-style classic controller(which maps over to 'a' and 'b' or 'x' and 'y' for rotation and shoulder buttons for hold) so far and i like it better than the wiimote.
I use the classic controller, too. My reasoning is that with the wiimote, you have to take your thumb off the dpad to hold (or move your right thumb a long distance). That can interfere with play, but using the classic controller allows you to hold with your right index finger--which never interferes with the other buttons.
with hold on B you don't have to use your thumb. i don't have a classic controller so i've just been using the wiimote, can't really comment on what's easier.
