Update New screenshots added to the story.

Every mode in Tetris DS features a theme based on a famous Nintendo character.

Up to 10 players can play using DS Download Play to form a Tetris DS match of massive proportions, all with just one game card.

Using Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, up to four players can compete in wireless two- or four-player battles against friends or strangers, near or far.

Characters: Each game mode features a theme based on a famous Nintendo character or game.

How to progress through the game? The game has six game modes to choose from. Information will be released periodically about each mode.

Standard: This Mario-themed mode features the same addictive game play that made the original Tetris so wildly popular. Players guide falling Tetriminos and form horizontal lines to clear them away. Mario runs around Super Mario Bros. levels in the background.

Slated for release on March 20th of this year, Tetris DS could easily be one of the most addicting portable gaming habits to come.

  Most of that stuff was said in the original press release. The only new thing is the fact that Mario runs around in the background. >_>

  Is the download play of this game similar to Puyo Pop Fever 1, where all players who do not have a cartridge can still choose character and play fully (without sound effect)?

  I agree that too many games are coming out in March. This March is like last November, when we had aload of new Mario and Sonic Games. Except we have two online games for the americans and one sonic game and one online game for europe.

  I hate Tetris. Why do many old games have to be remade for consoles?

  30 million people bought Tetris on the GameBoy, that's why. They don't really care if 1 person hated it.

  Balloon Fight should actually be playable as an unlockable or something. The game is in Animal Crossing, right? So there wouldn't even be a need to port it. And yeah, I noticed how bad the person was doing, too.

  "I hate Tetris. Why do many old games have to be remade for consoles?" So we dont have to play them on on the poor dieing original consoles. And hating tetris, what are you doing looking, let alone commenting in a tetris article.
