What is EasySpin? I assume Hold means the ability to "bank" a tetromino for later use.
I've only ever played the GameBoy Tetris game, both on the original Game Kart and on 3DS Virtual Console, and it only has spin and drop buttons.
- Wowfunhappy 7y agoYou're current on "Hold". "EasySpin" is also known as "Infinity" depending on who you talk to. Basically, as long as you continue to move and/or turn a piece when it hits the bottom, it won't actually lock in place. This is very easy to abuse. Neither of these so-called features is in the Gameboy version, so you wouldn't know about them. :) However, they're in basically ever modern Tetris game.
- jamiek88 7y agoGame boy Tetris IS Tetris to me. Is it largely the same as NES Tetris?
- Wowfunhappy 7y agoYes, it's basically the same! NES Tetris has color though, so that's my preferred version.
- httpsterio 7y agoUntrue about infinity / easy spin. Easy spin means that when you rotate a PIECE, it's locking timer is reset. This is not a feature on any recent major tetris. The closer would be TAP's or Ti's locking system where the timer resets if the piece moves down a row. Those games compensate a lot of the difficulty with increased speed meaning you have to play faster and cleaner to keep up.
- Wowfunhappy 7y ago> This is not a feature on any recent major tetris. Huh, well maybe I’m using the wrong term then. But whatever locking system was on e.g. Tetris Effect was totally abusable and stupid. Pieces should lock when they hit the bottom, period, at least in single player. Like they do in NES Tetris.
