Hudson to bring online Tetris to Wii Ware (Joystiq)

[R.O.B.]

Filed under: Nintendo Wii, Online, Puzzle, Casual

A system just isn't a system until it has a version of Tetris (and no, hacks don't count), so it's a good thing Nintendo that Hudson has announced a multi-player Wii Ware version of the game (PDF link).

A translation of the announcement by our good friends over at Engadget Japan reveals support for up to six Wi-Fi players, planned downloadable content and gameplay-altering items activated with Wii remote shaking. Hudson says they expect at least one million downloads for the title after it's simultaneous worldwide release this summer (for an undetermined price). If you just can't wait and/or pay, may we suggest the free and/or currently-available Tetrinet.

Tetrinet is a good Tetris-type game. I'm pumped about this one, but I hope there are a lot of options and gameplay customization. I want to be able to turn off the extra items and crap. Straight-up Tetris can keep me occupied for a few hours at a time.
