Minecraft Tetris collaboration

June 8: A bunch of different collaborations have come to Minecraft over the years, and the latest will bring Tetris to the game. It will be available on the Minecraft Marketplace.

One of the more interesting parts of the DLC is that Tetriminos fall from the sky after powering up the Tetrimino Generator. If you mine these blocks, you can obtain new resources and items inspired by the gameplay features in Tetris. Also, new tools include the Line Clear Hammer to clear a line of iron blocks at once and the Hard Drop Claw. Lastly, new mobs called Tetrimonsters are included.

Spike Chunsoft held a presentation during this year’s Anime Expo where they announced that Natsu-Mon: 20th Century Summer Kid will be receiving a worldwide release. The game is set to launch digitally on Switch on August 6, 2024 for $39.99.

A free downloadable demo of the game will also be made available starting July 30, 2024, a week before the full game releases. It will feature save data transfers, so that players purchasing the full game will be able to pick up right where they left off in the demo.

Lee Cocker, who has worked on every Mario & Sonic game, recently put out a message on social media stating that there won’t be a Mario & Sonic game for the 2024 Olympics. Given that the event is happening now, that’s not exactly surprising.
