All day long we're presenting Patrick Klepek's favorite games of last week's Nintendo of America media summit.
Do we really need another "Tetris" game? You wouldn't think so but "Tetris Party" says otherwise.
This WiiWare "Tetris," coming later this year for just $12, goes to great lengths to play with the "Tetris" formula we all know and love. This is not the "Tetris" game you've played a million times before.
True, the core "Tetris" game is still there, but that's not what makes "Tetris Party" special. Instead, it's the fairly wild gameplay experiments developer Hudson Soft embarked on.
The most addictive multiplayer mode was called "Duel Spaces," where players compete for the negative space on the grid. It's the opposite strategy of traditional "Tetris." You want to make closed structures with the pieces with extremely large gaps in-between them. It's these gaps that garner you points.
You can even use the balance board in this one. It's not that…fun…but, well, it's there and certainly an interesting new way to drop blocks.
