Tetrisphere - Nintendo 64 (N64)

[@dexterously3501]

I played this as a kid and I had no idea what the hell I was doing. XD

[@bloobie8581]

my Mom said I was a smart kid when I was younger and played puzzle games on a regular basis and this was the game I progressed the most on the n64 no wonder the sounds sound like music to my ears 😄

[@Itsyoungdoz]

yeah same, i rented it because the cover looked good.

[@deh7335]

The graphics seemed extremely good when I was a kid. This is hardly recognizable even though I loved this game. Though I played it for hours I also have absolutely no Idea what is going on.... this was one of my favorite games! WTF

[@octaviohernandez156]

Same bro you have no idea how long i looked for this

[@violettracey]

Same.

[@tonimiller5082]

The hours i spent on this game as a kid .....ive asked my kids dad to find me a nintendo 64 so i can relive my childhood

[@martinv.8750]

this game was so ahead of its time.

[@koulbreeze8441]

Still waiting on a remake. This is one of my favs

[@Emissionary]

This was one of the most intense N64 puzzle games. Great music. Inventive idea on transforming what Tetris was.

[@Abcdwagsss]

Honestly I have been trying like hell to remember wtf this game was called because I played it as a kid and wanted to find it again. Finally after some ridiculous Google searches I finally found it!!!

[@elsinoreandfriends9220]

Used to play this at toys r us in '97 when n64 was new. At first had no clue wtf, but then I started to understand it and it was awesome.

[@jorgerazo2913]

I still have no idea what this game is about lol and I recently bought it sealed just to have it since it was part of my childhood lol

[@LatoyaChan]

This is seriously the most underrated version of Tetris.

[@kamronhiltunen245]

This game was so omniscient and strange when i was a little kid, i had no clue wtf was going on, didn’t even know it was a tetris puzzle game thing. I just would click buttons on certain parts of this crazy object and parts of it would go away, then this crazy looking face would be staring at me😂

[@junghunt8645]

Omniscient?

[@knxcholx]

Bro.......I used to play this game all the time as a kid. Holy crap the nostalgia!!!

[@alditoification]

I remember playing this game when N64 consoles were available to play at McDonald's. It was always this game and Star Wars Episode 1: Racer. Great memories...

[@user-tt3vp1uw6o]

What, at McDonald's! That was not a thing in my country (Sweden), as far as I know. But cool!

[@Wendy_O.]

Wow, this takes me back. One of my favorite N64 games. :)

[@raztipnoirtip]

Why isn’t this game available for any system now? I played it more than any game on my N64!

[@duesexistat5016]

Why have they not remade this game yet? I’d buy it in a heartbeat.

[@Fishbro]

Game is so simple and fun. Confusing at first, but doesn't take much to realize you zoom in until you die, and you need to combine as many of the same shape side by side as possible to get bigger score points. God I miss this game.

[@LoritaJohnson]

Loved the video! I played this on my son's game when he was little (LOL) and beat it. I've been in love with his game ever since!

[@cwing1028]

I love this game! I hope this comes out on the switch

[@pretzelstick12]

If Nintendo put this on their N64 online service...... I would gladly upgrade.

[@Switch-pu3un]

Who knows if it will happen, but not in 2022! It'd be 2023 or after

[@jvgsjeff]

It's a 3-D sphere and when you make matches, you're getting closer to the center of the sphere. Think of it like a popcorn ball. Each match you make is like taking a bite and getting closer to the center. :P

[@alvinrieske]

The best Tetris game of all time.

[@agentzero4281]

so true

[@shinnok5337]

For me it's a tie between Tetrisphere. Tetris DS and Tetris Gameboy

[@HayleyAnjuna]

bad ass fucking sound track

[@jtothak5032]

The best!

[@Jspazin_Gaming]

Man I spend so many hours playing this

[@mancamiatipoola]

Best part about this game is the 2-player split screen. I remember the days when me and my pals used to huddle up next to the N64 and play VS mode for days ! Oh, the rivalries that ensued were chaotic. One of the most competitive 2-player games i have ever played :). I also enjoyed the puzzle mode a lot. Awesome game with an awesome design idea. I wish i had thought of it :). U can play this on a N64 emulator called project64, and have a ton of fun on your PC. Enjoy.

[@XXtheJUMPoffXX]

I used to be so good at this game but right now I have no idea what’s going on 💀

[@simplyhuman3982]

I love this game. I bought an n64 just so I could play it.

[@snappertrx]

One of the few video games my wife actually played because she liked it.

[@7_Hertz84]

Was an underated game 😊

[@ShontBarsomian]

This game gave me crippling anxiety as a 6 year old kid when the time would run out 😂😂😂

[@philliparnesen4493]

This was the best tetris game ever made. A real shame it didn't get enough love to see sequels.

[@mammabear7767]

So many hours spent playing this game

[@FromInfinityTV]

I loved this game... forgot how good the music is :)

[@UbiDoobyBanooby]

All the comments mentioning the music. Lol. I came here because an article just asked what videogame music was really great. I said this game then came to listen to some. Lol

[@rachaelhillson2967]

Music was awesome in this

[@paullynch2747]

Got this as one of those 'grandparents' choice games... Turned out to be a gem of a game.

[@kenhollis6197]

I didn't understand this game when I was 9, and I don't understand it now at 34.

[@deftify]

thats because you're thick

[@rulasmania]

I’m thick and I get it

[@Dj992Music]

Yeah I remember playing this for hours on end, losing everytime, never learning or improving but still having a blast

[@AndriaTheKobold]

MAN this brings back memories.

[@GoldenBoyXCM]

i actually meant Wetrix when searching

[@CeticWales]

Underrated game

[@dannybarzegar1621]

Wow the memories

[@martinrh76]

Oh, great memories.

[@AstolfoOfCharlemagne]

I remember playing this... This game was frustrating for me, But you make it look so easy Jeff, thanks for the memories =).

[@BlackPopeye44]

this game made the N64 look so promising and look like a good investment

[@GlitchyPSI]

not like it's a superwaste either

[@dirtypure2023]

It was a good investment if you like fun at all lol. Your comment makes it sound like the N64 was a critical and commercial failure.

[@Mecz2]

And it damn well was. So many epic games.

[@NicholasNRG]

It was a good investment but then you'd miss out on some of the most important releases in video game history besides Nintendo's

[@TS-yz3ud]

@Jonathan Willow What about the Saturn? PS1?

[@JeyCee2]

Awesome game, love the music n the puzzles

[@MrNader136]

i was addicted to this game when i was a kid.

[@shaquanasmith]

This looks like fun. Maybe one day I will buy this game when I buy bust a move 99 and the new tetris for my n64.

[@jvgsjeff]

@DSkehan2004: No, Zoop was a third-party game published by Viacom for many systems: SNES, Genesis, PlayStation, Jaguar, and more.

[@KyReeky]

Oh do I miss this game on the N64.

[@SAVUFILMS]

THIS GAME IS.......AWESOME

[@jvgsjeff]

Yeah, it does look confusing at first. But after a few minutes of playing it, you get the hang of it and it's pretty fun.

[@christopherlittlejohn2648]

Played this at a very young age, but will get another go at it soon. Looks fun!

[@jvgsjeff]

The Jaguar was quite a bit more powerful than SNES, but not as powerful as N64. So I'm sure this looks much nicer than the Jag version would have looked.

[@Sparx360]

@tgmc012 I know, I wanted this over tetris axis and it would be perfect for 3D.

[@GiuseppeGaetanoSabatelli]

Plays more like Tetris Attack than traditional Tetris, but still dope.

[@SidShakal]

2:52 peekaboo

[@TheSkipAJ]

I dont get it

[@jvgsjeff]

JouninAkisa: Yes, it is timed. If you don't make a match in time (or if you make a mistake), you lose a life (the three hearts). Lose all three and you fail the level. Yes, I hadn't played the game much yet, but after making the video, I want to go play it some more. Right now. xD

[@bombytetoo]

what is happening on screen

[@TheDreadedZero]

I forgot how blurry the n64 was

[@Toxodos]

it was different because of CRTs the previous generations as well, the pixel art was designed with the sort of "fuzziness" you get from CRTs in mind, the pixels kinda bleed into each other a bit

[@stratogustav]

this video was uploaded 15 years ago lol

[@RetroDawn]

@@stratogustav Exactly! This isn't the look of an N64 on a CRT. And with CRTs there's a huge difference between the color resolution and clarity of RGB and s-video/composite/RF.

[@stratogustav]

@@RetroDawn even on a crappy LCD the N64 looks better than this. It was the only console of that generation that had a decent look.

[@RetroDawn]

@@stratogustav True, but it wasn't the only one. The Jaguar and 3DO had a very decent look to their video output, as well.

[@WinVisten]

I'm a fucking badass at this game.

[@jtothak5032]

I am a beast as well

[@snootcity]

this game used to stress me the fuck out

[@YeTenuousUmbrae]

Random memory of wasting a lot of time on this game brought me here.

[@yesseniadenham3478]

Hi! I'm here on 2020 😁

[@jvgsjeff]

@DSkehan2004: Oh. Zoop wasn't made by Nintendo though.

[@matneedle]

woooooo j'adorais ce jeu étant petit !

[@trollsome]

Do you basically just put the pieces all over the place just to clear the entire circle?

[@gerardoa9179]

The sphere

[@legi0naire]

I loved and hated this game at the same time.

[@1337treeckolol]

LOL Popcorn ball gave me the idea of a razor blade in the middle... o_o

[@policeman911pdman]

Martist my favorite song whit a Great game

[@mewxshecka]

Oh! We used to have this game (we probably still do) and my mom and brother played it (I was five XD), it looked really fun and i messed around with it, i bet I could give a shot now, but i'd probably fail XD

[@chewey91]

this game was always really confusing for me. i still have it, and i still don't fully get it after all of these years lol.

[@BlazingGlaceon]

Man, the N64, PS1, and GameCube were where gaming was at it's peak. I mean the stuff nowadays is good, but it's just not what we had before. I'd give ANYTHING to have my original Donkey Kong 64, Rayman 2, Goemon's Great Adventure, etc. etc., all back again. Emulation just doesn't cut it =( , I like the actual consoles 'cause you couldn't cheat and there were no graphic glitches. *Sigh*, I miss those days.

[@TheAnimeMegaFreak]

I never got a chance to play that game, because my mom said I was to young at the time.

[@DSkehan2004]

there was a game in 1995 from nintendo that people didn't really know how to play it. I think it was called Sphere. does anyone else know the real name of it. It failed to sell and it was the first biggest game fail in Nintendo back then.

[@nati0610]

Mon jeu préféré j’aimerai en trouver un pour la wii dommage j’ai beau chercher

[@sinnesloschen1]

It reminds me of Tempest 2000

[@MrOmnizyde]

Dope.

[@theprobablyuncommonhandle]

Hey! That’s not a sphere!

[@morph4116]

Bis heute nicht verstanden das Spiel

[@822perico]

Tetris es el mas clasico y es el mas jugado por todos sus fans de cualquier edad en todo mundo entero y está disponible para muchísimas consolas y para muchísimas computadoras y en otros aparatos también. A mi manecio el tetris del Game Boy en el 25 de diciembre pero antes de eso mis papis me rentaron el videojuego del doctor Mario de NES y yo no ganaba después en el año 2000 en adelante tuve Internet en mi computadora Windows XP y de ahi entré al nintendo8.com y en esa página web me puse a jugar al doctor Mario de NES y supe como pasar las misiones del doctor Mario y ese videojuegos del doctor Mario es casi parecido al de tetris que el doctor Mario aparece en el lado derecho para tirar pastillas a los bichos que están adentro de una botella y se tienen que vaciar a todas las pastillas en la botella para pasar a otras misiones.

[@thetamoonedme7340]

Love this game. Semi-Rookie playing?

[@sylvainbouchard2115]

Semi you say? I bite my fingers watching this, like... no...!!! not this block, the other...no!!! don't launch now!!! He misses so many good combos it's painful to watch. Not complaining though, always fun to be immersed in this great game, and the difficulty levels were well designed.

[@dalilaramirez9214]

Donde lo puedo descargar gratis.

[@DSkehan2004]

@jvgsjeff oh was it made by sega?

[@DSkehan2004]

never mind i found out what the game was called. It's Zoop.

[@iDangerousx33]

this makes like no sense D:

[@dirtypure2023]

It does. Once you play it yourself you quickly get the hang of it. I played this so much when I was like 14. It's 100% a forgotten gem.

[@sheHannahgans]

If This came on 3DS i would sell my children for one.

[@Mrmonk9]

just another game that would make me frustrated, and Jeff is great at... hahaha

[@rachaelhillson2967]

Fxxxxxg best game ever 👌👌👌👌👌

[@iDangerousx33]

hah yeah i think i get the basic idea.. probably. but i meant it looks confusing. not like something you could be good at right away like good ol' 2d tetris. :p

[@DSkehan2004]

@jvgsjeff oh okay

[@chriskeo392]

I'm like this game sucks Ten hours later.....boom blow it up!

Are you playing that slow on purpose?

I remeber as kid me and my parents play this a lot and you all so coud play in multiplayer and my mam was really good at this game.. so good she was holding for time the world record in making points. Playing against her was just the horro, because she completle bombt us with that black blocks and destroy use we really hate playing against her😂😂

[@jamalstewart8063]

Middle School Kids: Come On

[@StarmanPhantom]

It's...interesting... *Whirr*

[@jesspark84]

It was a fun game but he doesn’t know how to play it he needs to get to the center asap or at least that’s what I thought you needed to do 😊

[@alphanimal]

I usually tried to go for high score. That means getting the multiplyer to the max and doing combos using the glowing power pieces. Also puzzle mode was awesome

[@verstrahlt1907]

nice music - but I do not like the mumbling and the voice

[@rachaelhillson2967]

That always wond me up.. some played it just to listen to the music 🎶
