I played the hell out of Tetris on the Nintendo DS, but I just can't play it on a touchscreen unfortunately - I do wish I could play it on the way to work, but you just can't get the speed and reliability you get with clicky buttons.
Fun fact: Tetris has been shown to help with mental burdens such as anxiety, PTSD, and intrusive thoughts, and anecdotally I have found this to be true.
- CaliforniaKarl 9y agoHas Tetris been released for the Switch yet? I’d hope that they could support the digital inputs (like the D-pad).
- epicide 9y agoPuyo Puyo Tetris is pretty decent. Some of the options (like endless mode) are a little hard to find. The story is weird but interesting.
- voltagex_ 9y agoand the Japanese Puyo Puyo Tetris might help us archive Switch games for the future, too...
- epicide 9y agoI'm not familiar. Care to elaborate?
- voltagex_ 9y agoKinda tongue in cheek as the dumping of Switch cartridges is very rudimentary and not at the level where say, redump.org would accept them. There's a flaw in the Japanese Puyo Puyo that allowed unsigned code to run on firmware version 3 Switches. The first thing the scene will try to do other than running Doom will be dumping cartridges. You may immediately jump to piracy, but dumping carts and especially title updates is really important for preserving games into the future, as game companies have proven again and again that they either don't care or don't have the resources for proper archival.
- epicide 9y agoI am all for homebrew and archiving.
