Tetris Forever is rolling out an update on Nintendo Switch today, and it’s a pretty big one as it includes Welltris as a new playable game and player-requested features.

Welltris (Spectrum Holobyte, MS-DOS) was the first follow-up to Tetris created by Alexey Pajitnov. According to Digital Eclipse, it’s “a beloved variant in which Tetriminos (and other shapes) fall down four sides of a well.”

Tetris Forever review for Nintendo Switch

Posted on 1 month ago by Nicholas Serpa in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments

System: Switch
Release date: November 12, 2024
Developer: Digital Eclipse
Publisher: Digital Eclipse

It’s easy to take Tetris for granted. Tetris games have been released on, apparently, over 65 different devices. Many have described it as the perfect puzzle game. Very smart scientists have even performed psychological studies about how Tetris affects the human brain. It has, incredibly, been about 40 years since the release of the very first Tetris title. To help celebrate such a monumental anniversary, the historians at developer and publisher Digital Eclipse are releasing Tetris Forever, a package that’s as much a digital museum as it is a compilation of retro Tetris games. While it’s hard to argue with the core quality of the experiences available in the package, overall I found the focus of Tetris Forever to be narrower than I had hoped – not just in terms of the history being shared, but the games themselves. It’s a good glimpse into the origins of this massive franchise, but not quite the definitive Tetris package it could have been.
