Tetris to the average person is a simple game, but to people that play more competitively there are 2 types of Tetris. Classic and Modern. Classic is like the NES and Game Boy; Modern adds hard drops, the ability to hold pieces,the way pieces kick off walls is different and you can see like 4 pieces ahead of whats next. This looks like they wanted to invoke the look of the Atari Tetris cabinet while having the familiar Gameboy sound effects and music. This is like a weird hybrid of those ideas from just watching this. I wouldn't mention the gameboy audio because a lot of Tetris games have that song because it's a Russian folksong, but they actually went as far as using the Gameboy's game over sound. I wonder if the more advanced things like T-Spins work on this.

Wow 4 Joystick review on a Tiny Arcade unit! I don't have any of the Tiny Arcade cabs, other than the Pop A Shot, Skee Ball and TMNT pinball, I passed on all the arcade cabs personally. I love the Basic Fun version and have one out to play and one still in the box. I don't recall the review you gave that unit, but if you gave that one and this one a 4, then you just might be a closet Tetris geek. ( ;

Convenient for the consumer, but an unnecessary added cost to production. At least they're provided -- My Arcade doesn't do that even.
@mattnova182 жыл бұрын
Yeah you gotta move up to the fancier mini-arcades that cost more like $100+ before you'll see rechargeable batteries that are built in.
