A colorized remake of the game was released on the Game Boy Color entitled Tetris DX(гѓ†гѓ€гѓЄг‚№ гѓ‡гѓ©гѓѓг‚Їг‚№,Tetorisu Derakkusu?). A Nintendo 3. DSVirtual Console version of Tetris was released in December 2.
It was delisted from the Nintendo e. Shop after December 3. Gameplay[edit]Tetris gameplay. Na. ïve gravity in action. The Game Boy version of Tetris plays identically to versions of Tetris released on other platforms. A pseudorandom sequence of "tetrominos" – shapes composed of four square blocks each – fall down the playing field.
The object of the game is to manipulate these tetrads, by moving each one sideways and rotating it by 9. When one or more such lines are created, they disappear, and the blocks above (if any) move down by the number of lines cleared. As in most standard versions of Tetris, blocks do not automatically fall into open gaps when lines are cleared.
As the game progresses, the tetrominos fall faster. The game ends when at least part of a tetromino extends beyond the top of the playfield when set in place. The player can normally see which block will appear next in a window off to the side of the playing field, but this feature can be toggled during the game.[5] Points are awarded based on the current level and number of lines cleared. The level increases each time the player clears ten lines, as does the speed of falling tetrominoes.[5] The player may adjust the difficulty before beginning a game by selecting a starting level and/or choosing to pre- fill the play area with a given number of lines of randomly placed blocks. The game ends when the stack of blocks extends past the top of the playfield. This version of Tetris includes a two- player mode, in which each player's objective is to remain in play for longer than his or her opponent. Each player plays on their own Game Boy, with the two consoles connected via the Game Link Cable (A game pak for each player).
During gameplay, when a player scores a Double, Triple or Tetris, one or more incomplete rows of blocks are added to the bottom of their opponent's stack, causing it to rise. Development[edit]In 1.
Soviet Academy of Sciences researchers Alexey Pajitnov, Dmitry Pavlovsky, and Vadim Gerasimov created Tetris out of a desire to create a two- player puzzle game,[6] and the game spread commercially among computers. In 1. 98. 8, computer game publisher Henk Rogers noticed the game at the Las Vegas. Consumer Electronics Show in a Spectrum Holo. Byte booth. Finding himself hooked to the game, he pursued the rights for the game, and knowing Nintendo planned to release the Game Boy approached Nintendo of America head Minoru Arakawa with the suggestion that Tetris was the perfect title to be packaged with the handheld.
Arakawa questioned the idea, noting they planned to package Super Mario Land with it instead, but Rogers countered by stating that while a Mario title would sell the Game Boy to young boys, Tetris would sell it to everyone.[7] Rogers was told to pursue the rights, and secured them from both Spectrum Holo. Byte and Atari- spinoff company Tengen, who had also secured a license at the time, to license Tetris in Japan.
He additionally approached Robert Stein, who had secured permission for both companies to distribute Tetris through company Mirrorsoft, to seek rights for it to be distributed with the Game Boy.[8]However, after several months passed Stein had not produced the rights for the Game Boy, and Rogers learned that another person had approached Nintendo with the idea of a Game Boy Tetris. Requesting more time from Arakawa, he traveled to Moscow to speak with the USSR's Ministry of Software and Hardware Export and Pajitnov. During this time, Nintendo approached Spectrum Holo. Byte on the prospect of a Game Boy Tetris, causing Mirrorsoft to send a representative, Kevin Maxwell, to Moscow to secure rights for the Game Boy version.[8] Meanwhile, Rogers negotiated for the rights for Tetris on the Game Boy, noting in a later interview with IGN that the government officials did not understand the concept of intellectual property, and were looking for greater payment than Rogers or Nintendo could afford.[7] However it was revealed that the Tetris property had not actually been licensed to anyone: Stein had secured the rights from Pajitnov directly and not from the Russian authorities.[9] Russia sent a fax to Maxwell in England with 4.
Russia at the time Maxwell did not receive the fax, and the rights were given to Rogers. Nintendo granted Rogers publishing rights to Tetris, sued Tengen, and in March 1. Rogers, Arakawa, and Nintendo vice president Howard Lincoln signed a contract securing rights for console and handheld distribution of Tetris.[8] However, Tetris's production was delayed due to the ongoing legal battle with Tengen, and the game was released in Japan two months after the Game Boy's release there.[1. The title was co- developed by Bullet- Proof Software and Nintendo.[1. The music for Tetris was created by Hirokazu Tanaka.[1. The player can select one of three types of background music during the game or play with sound effects only. Some of the songs are arrangements of works from other composers: "Type A" is based on the Russian folk song Korobeiniki (also known as Korobushka), and "Type C" is an arranged version of French Suite No.
B minor, BWV 8. 14: Menuet by Johann Sebastian Bach.[1. After a player exits pause mode (toggled using the start button), the background music continues with the volume of the bassline increased, which returns to normal when the next phrase of the song begins. Nintendo has offered no explanation for this anomaly, nor has any programming error isolated by a third party (e. ROM hack) gained widespread public recognition. The compositions "Type A" and "Type B" can be unlocked for use on the Luigi's Mansion stage in Super Smash Bros. Brawl for the Wii.
The compositions can once again be unlocked for use in Super Smash Bros. Nintendo 3. DS and Wii U.
Type A" can be unlocked for the Smash Run mode in the Nintendo 3. DS version and for use on the Luigi's Mansion stage in the Wii U version, while "Type B" can be unlocked for use on the Wuhu Island stage in the Wii U version only.
