Tetris (NES) Playthrough [Nintendo version]

[@rjcupid]

This is the only video game my mom loved. I would wake up in the middle of the night, stand at the top of the stairs looking down and see her in the den in front of the tv playing Tetris. She was really good too. She still brags to me that she was better than me at this classic.

[@bigduke5902]

Creepy!

[@andresleon4833]

My mom also loved tetris

[@NintendoComplete]

So tell us, is she really? 😉

[@rjcupid]

@@NintendoComplete Back then, definitely! I saw all the cutscenes and the “end” of the game because of her (like all the different ones in your video). She was great at any puzzle game. Great play through Alex!

[@mnemonichotpocket]

This is one of those classic soundtracks that has lived rent free in my head since the 80s...

[@PaytonSamuels33]

With Tetris Forever approaching, playing the classic is a good idea.

[@NintendoComplete]

Nintendo's Tetris is a bonafide NES classic, even if it isn't the best version of the game for the platform.

Isn't the best? Why?

[@NintendoComplete]

The Tengen version has more stuff in it, like a 2 player mode

[@Dorian_Scott]

Alright, be honest, was this video uploaded due to the Tetris announcement from the Nintendo Direct?

[@NintendoComplete]

@Dorian_Scott Maybe 😉 haha

[@oxygeninterface]

you're the man, alex. i totally suck at this game.

[@iLuseMy1v1s]

The music is just so simple but iconic at the same time.

[@krystalfan]

the story of the making of and distribution is just as legendary as the game itself

[@jeremydavidson1420]

this reminds me of my days playing the gameboy version of tetris. and to this day the very first video game i evered played in my long career as a gamer.

[@Dorian_Scott]

The sheer impact that Tetris' success had will never cease to amaze me. It led to countless other puzzle games being made like Puyo Puyo or Panel de Pon, it led different *_versions_* of Tetris like the Mickey Mouse or Cardcaptor Sakura ones, and it has led to a documentary on the game itself as welll as many pop culture references. Tetris isn't just a fun puzzle game. It is one whose charm can never be matched and is a defining part of all our lives no matter what version we've played (The Sega Genesis one, in my case lol).

[@supatiltgaming]

If you want to see some crazy stuff, delve into the classic tetris world championships. they START on lvl 18 and in recent years with new playing techniques like hypertapping and rolling players have gotten to insane levels and scores. Like to the point that they had to institute a level cap, so you have to score as high as you can before you reach that cap, because players could just keep going and going. The speed doesn't pick up past lvl 29, so if you can play perfectly at those speeds then it can get ridiculous.

[@kascnef]

That version and the game boy version were amazing

[@juanalmzn2263]

This game was on my mind a lot during the 2018 World Cup. Especially cuz the adidas 2018 Telstar and the jersey fonts were inspired by Tetris and Minecraft.

[@johnnelson3665]

Amazing performance!

[@NintendoComplete]

Thanks!

[@thecunninlynguist]

GB is still my fave version, but loved playing the NES version

[@dimebagdave77]

My ultimate favorite.. many thanks as always Video Games 101✌️🤘

[@WillieTroxler]

I've never played this game back then but it looks so much fun

[@POLE7645]

Right in time when Digital Eclipse announced their interactive documentary about Tetris.

[@spoonshiro]

First game I ever bought with my own money. Still remember getting it at Toys R Us.

[@VahanNisanian]

That music is so 𝘔𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 1. Hip Tanaka composed both games, so of course.

[@Dorian_Scott]

Wait, really? This was done by "Hip Tanaka"? No wonder the music's good lol.

[@VahanNisanian]

Of course. Type C could easily be used in 𝘔𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳 1 as the music for a deserted and mysterious area.

[@bigduke5902]

Quick, to Wikipedia!!!

[@nintendorakyamato1859]

With Nutcracker music

[@christopherthibeault7502]

Track #3... it's unlike the other two. Anybody know where it's from, or is it an original track for the game? One of the greatest music pieces ever rendered in chiptune.

[@LITTLE1994]

Although the N64 version is the best Tetris in my opinion, the NES alongside the Game Boy's releases defined the series.

[@ZEKESPILLEDINKMUSIC]

Nintendo Direct: Tetris (NES) will be available on Nintendo Switch Online. NSO Subscribers: Okay...? Nintendo Direct: Available Winter 2024. NSO Subscribers: Oh, COME ON!!! 😤😤😤😤

[@MasterRBertLink]

Can’t wait until both Tetris Forever and Nintendo NES Tetris to come to the Switch this Winter! What games do you think will be included in Tetris Forever besides the BPS games, the Elektronika-60 version and Tetris Time Warp?

[@PaytonSamuels33]

@@MasterRBertLink I think Bombliss, Tetris Battle Gaiden...

[@MasterRBertLink]

@@PaytonSamuels33 The Nintendo Direct already told us that. I wanna know what other games we are gonna get with it.

[@MasterRBertLink]

I wanna know if the 1988 arcade version of Tetris will be included even though Warner Bros. Games owns the rights to that game.

[@Robowil]

Link playing a flute at the end... then in 1998 he'd play an ocarina. Coincidence?

[@NintendoComplete]

He played a flute in the original Legend of Zelda, too. It summoned the tornado.

[@bigduke5902]

On your bike, philistine.

[@Robowil]

@@NintendoComplete Thanks for the correction on that (its been a long time since I played the original)

Before we got our version of Puyo Puyo Fever mode in Connected, The Zone Battle...

[@dedosmagicosmetal]

What is the minimum level required to get the ending screen? 19? or does the score matter?

[@NintendoComplete]

The ending is based on the score. Iirc you hit the spaceship one at 120k

[@dedosmagicosmetal]

@@NintendoComplete Got inspired by your run and did a 100 lines challengue! thanks for the info

[@alphatemp4395]

Clasical

[@ust-orda_player]

I prefer Nintendo versions of Tetris over any other but Bullet-Proof version.

[@peggymacmillan5069]

My version of this game is on Super Nintendo. Got a good high score over 500,000 points. 💪

Boom, Tetris for Jeff

nice

Awesomeness tetris video could you please do more golf games please thanks ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@nikutaituku9310]

原来这个游戏是有结局的，不是无限循环

[@HATERSHAQ]

I don't even like Tetris

[@juanalmzn2263]

First!

[@mortenera4423]

Not gonna lie, this version completely blows the original Famicom one outta the water! It's got way better music for example

[@NintendoComplete]

Yeah, the original BPS version wasn't so hot compared to this one. You can only turn your pieces one way.

[@bigduke5902]

I WILL lie and say Tetris 2 is far superior
