Pac-Man might have celebrated its anniversary recently, but another classic title that deserves worthy mention which occupied a whole lot of quarters and hours from young children worldwide a few decades ago would be Tetris, and Tetris Online pays homage to this classic with Tetris Party Deluxe for the Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS platforms. This new title will offer over 20 exciting game modes, online battles, and multiplayer fun for friends and family, making it a must-have for Tetris and puzzle fans.

In partnership with Majesco Entertainment Company, an innovative provider of video games for the mass market, Tetris Online is proud to be releasing one of the most highly-anticipated summer games this year. Developed by Hudson Soft, Tetris Party Deluxe builds on the previously released smash hit Tetris Party for WiiWare, adding six new modes and many other fun enhancements. Tetris Party Deluxe is rated E for Everyone and is now available for a suggested retail price of $29.99 on both Wii and Nintendo DS.

For folks living across the Pond, details concerning an European release of Tetris Party Deluxe are forthcoming. For those enjoying Tetris Party Deluxe for Wii, you can take advantage of the unique point-and-shoot capabilities of the Wii Remote, or play it using the Classic Controller. Apart from that, you can also use the Wii Balance Board in specially-marked modes, where leaning left and right will move the Tetriminos left or right; while leaning forward or backwards will increase the drop speed; and squatting will rotate them! Boy, we sound tired already!
