How YOU Can Play NES Tetris

- What do you need to play NES Tetris for yourself? There are lots of different options depending on what you want to do.
During quarantines, practice social distancing and stay inside for as long as recommended by your community/government. Support a local business if you can by seeing if they order with delivery. For more information on safety with ordering online, read here: bit.ly/2WFAgOh
All gear mentioned in the video along with additional information curated from the video comments is in this Google Doc: docs.google.co...
Thanks for watching! EDIT 12/2/2021: I made this guide when there were originally no other comprehensive guides out there, I think it still is mostly relevant but there are a few things I've learned over the subsequent year and a half that I would alter in the guide.
1) I would no longer recommend buying a Retro-Bit RES as an alternative console, although it is technically functional, there appear to be slight delay issues which negate some of the advantage of original equipment. Instead, buy a Retron 1 as a budget option and a Retron 1 HD or original NES for a higher tier option.
2) Just using OBS as standard recording/streaming software is fine. I would no longer recommend Streamlabs due to a whole host of issues and controversies.
3) EasyCap is still a usable budget option (it also doesn't require the CD software shown in the video to work, that is just capture software and you can use OBS instead), but cheap HDMI capture cards also do the job too. If you encounter interlacing in the input to OBS, turn on a deinterlacing filter.
4) Because I've had a few questions about it...Classic Score Attack in Tetris Effect: Connected is a nearly exact replica of NES Tetris and if you already have TEC, it's a serviceable introduction to the learning the mechanics of the game without having to deal with roms and emulators. However, you cannot use Classic Score Attack to play in NES Tetris tournaments and there will inevitably be a slight delay on the game feed due to your computer's processing time, so if you're serious about playing at a high level, original equipment is the best way to go.
wanna know about ctwc 2019, how was it?
@@neo6411 it was epic. lots of stories and animations to share about it. working hard to get the enormous recap video finished
Loved the video, all knowledge I think I’ve seemed out myself luckily but definitely glad there’s a place new players can find information now great job! Can’t wait till CTWC video, no rush but I’m super excited for it
No need to stress about the upload frequency. Do it when you have time and when you feel like it. There's no point in making videos unless you enjoy making them :)
@@aGameScout thanks for creating high quality content for a community that doesn't have many video makers. Hope to see your next video once its out!
he did it guys he pressed the upload button
Sanjay the gamer yes, he did it finally!! lol
You're doing the lord's work in making the community accessible to newcomers, my friend. Best case scenario we'll hopefully see a few great players who'll say you helped them in! Great stuff.
Joseph has inspired people and now he's making them a part of the community.
Modern Tetris player here. I've been playing on emulator and assumed buying an NES just for this was too much money to play one game on.
I might have to reconsider that.
JESUS died for our sins on the cross, HE shed HIS holy, innocent , precious blood for us (HIS blood washes away ALL sins) HE was buried but on the third day GOD raised HIM from the dead. All you have to do to be saved is: Believe in JESUS, trust in HIS blood. JESUS did everything for you, no works are required for salvation (Ephesians 2:8-9)!…
when I first got into the game I used an emulator, then after I realized I wanted to become a lot better at the game I got the original stuff. I never thought id be buying stuff older than me for gaming
ok
lol
The story for many of us :) what an unlikely esport
" I never thought id be buying stuff older than me for gaming"
And down the rabbit hole the journey goes. You are "one of us" now. ;)
can you tell me which emulator you used? and is it a big difference in comparison with the original game?
So I guess now the tour on all the online events? CTB, CTE, CTG, CTL, CTM, CTP... That may be a good topic for next video. :D
definitely in the works!
CBT, you say?
Ah yes, CTE. Great band. Love me some Crown The Empire :p

i got a crt at a yard sale for $5 just for this and now my parents are concerned for my well being. Thanks!
@Phoenix Downer just ingnore them XD
Got mine for free! Had a friend in a tough spot finance wise and their only TV was a CRT and I had an LCD for gaming so obviously a switch was a total win win
@@Peat030 Who needs "friends" when you have TETORISU!
14:00 someone meme this Joseph clip and send it to him
StreamLabs OBS is way worse than OBS Studio, it's super wonky and OBS can use the StreamLabs widgets as well. I'm starting to think about trying to get into it, I just need some stuff like a CRT and easycap (and a USB Disk Drive) and maybe a new controller
Who is that handsome guy at 8:17?!?! Hehe thanks David! Another great video :)
11:52 Ayy I saw MuseScore down there. Respect.
KORYANSUU TETORISUUU
What I recommend is to not stress over the Crt an insane amount, as long as it is standard definition you will be fine. As well as having a better connection than RF. I found my self stressing so much over getting the crt when I could've just gotten a free one and been playing tetris while improving my skill. This is not like other retro games where they are slow and you have time to appreciate the graphics a lot. As long as it is decent you will be fine, your main issue is latency so get a standard definition tv
I've seen alot of cheap/,free crt monitors. VGA to RCA adapter and you're 👍
Great video! Definitely great for newcomers
for sure!
dang i wonder how hard it is to get into it now with all this stuff going on
It's definitely harder than normal, which sucks because quarantines an ideal time to grind away getting better at a game. When I started my final push to finish up this video 10 days ago it hadn't even gotten that bad yet. Definitely everyone's safety is a priority first and foremost. Fortunately, the virus seems to not be able to survive for several days in a package, so most gear ordered online should be safe. Wanted to get this video up anyways in case people already have most of the stuff and are missing just one or two things, and also as a resource for when things have cleared up.
Gosh thank you so much, I'm so glad I watched this before trying to participate in CTM or visit the CTWC in person. This seriously cleared up a lot of questions I had about it. You're awesome! :)
Really hope to meet you at a tournament one of these days my friend!

Everyone has wanted a consolidated/holistic setup video like this for so long, thank you ;-;
Pro tip: emulators are legal, downloading the games themselves is not
A really good longterm starting setup that I recommend is an original nes controller with an oem to usb adapter($8 on ebay) with a really good emulator like mesen and it feels eerily similar and sometimes better compared to my original nes with an lcd
THANK YOU!! I feel so stupid recording my scores(check em out!) on my iphone 😂 I want to CTM so bad
For the mic, Monoprice has a really good 'podcasting/streaming' bundle which has a surprisingly good USB mic, a table-clamp boom mount, a pop filter, and a few other things, all for $60.
For the console, I'd suggest that a "the works" category could include the Analogue Nt Mini or similar, especially handy if you're using it with a modern HDMI TV. And not all LCD TVs add substantial lag; look for one which supports 'game mode' or the like (which will generally reduce the lag to 1 frame or less), and OLED and the upcoming micro-LED TVs are basically lag-free.
Great video. Really appreciate the effort you put into it. However, you're bit about streaming software is kinda wrong. Streamlabs OBS (SLOBS) should be the "in a pinch" while OBS should be considered the essentials/works. Everything you can do in SLOBS you can do and more in OBS. All the Trey stuff you talked about can be done in OBS. OBS is way more flexible than SLOBS and gets encoder features faster. SLOBS is an easier to use but less customisable version of OBS. Its great for most people but it has its issues and I would highly recommend that if you can learn to use OBS you'd be better of with it.
Hey! I play on of and recently just passed 600,000 XD! I play on a laptop using an emulator but I was wondering if there is anyway I could connect a NES controller to my computer using some converter or something. I tried researching about controlled with usb but they all don’t match the original design of the NES controller. The reason I can’t buy anything more than a controller is because my parents won’t let me spend a lot of money on video games, and that seems kind of fair considering I spend an hour a day on Tetris already. Thanks!
You can hook up an XBox 360/One or PlayStation 3/4 controller. It's obviously not the same as an NES controller, but imo still better than playing on a keyboard.
It's also possible to use a 'NES' USB controller. You should be able to find some for less than 10 $ on amazon or other trading platforms. For the same price you can also get a Controller Adapter and then use original nes controllers with the adapter on your pc.
Meanwhile I just have NEStopia on my laptop.... XD
Same
I play via VirtualNES and the Tetris NTSC rom on a cheap LCD TV (my "monitor") and a Xbox One Controller
Thankfully you can get a USB NES Controller for cheap. That is the route I am going.
I got really scared when he said everything should cost only $60. Apparently I skipped to "in the works" by accident and bought the original everything for about $100. Now I just need a Game Genie!
ok i’m blaming my flatscreen for my inability to make it to level 14
2:01 Why the hell would you play like that? WASD exists!!!
i noticed that too lol
Most ppl prefer hypertapping with their right hand.
Hey David, I previously asked when this video released if it were possible to get and use an NTSC console in a PAL region, in my case UK, and you were a great help to me in the comments beyond the video itself, I was wondering if you knew if it is possible (and safe) to use a UK (or any non american) power supply directly on an NTSC NES, or if you could point me to someone or community that would know for sure and I couldn't find a 100% sure answer, which I would like to have to assure I don't waste my money buying an NTSC console i can't use
thanks for the insight! ive been trying to find a console to use after my nes console stopped working. so im glad i can get back into playing again after a year.
Hi, i got a question regarding genuine NES console. Does the one with additional "Asian Version" text under "Entertainment System" words is a legit one? I want to start playing tetris classic, and got my eye on this one since its pretty cheap. Hope somebody can help me here.
in short, it's not. the real ones will only have the red nintendo entertainment system on the front. if you see any consoles with built in games, tread lightly.
I was a bit surprised at the statement that PC players will mostly be playing with mouse and keyboard. You can get imitation USB NES controllers, adapters for the real thing, or you can use practically any other controller (often with some sort of cheap adapter). My guess is that a lot more PC players would be using controllers if only they knew that they can use the ones they already have lying around.
I personally highly recommend the Retron HD console because it comes with an HDMI output along with the RCA.
No need for all those cables, only the hdmi for my capture card and RCA for my CRT.
oh, thanks for the recommendation! which capture card do you use?
@@aGameScout this piece of junk called "SSEDEW High-Definition Monitor USB2.0 HDMI Capture Card" but it's cheap and it works
@@DanQZ Hi Dan. Thanks for the advice.
I've got a few questions about the Retron HD.
1. Can I use a classic NES controller on it?
2. Is playing with the RETRON controllers tournament legal?
3. Have you ever played Tetris on a genuine NES and how does it compare to the RETRON?
@@Bogard2312
1. Yes
2. Not sure but I’d bet on yes
3. I have and I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference
@@DanQZ Perfect. Thanks Dan.
If anyone finds it truly impossible to find a working CRT, you should know that not all LCDs are created equally. CRTs are superior because of their low input lag and motion blur. Some LCDs have an order of magnitude less input lag than others, and many have features to reduce motion blur. TVs generally have the worst input lag because they’re optimized for viewing rather than interacting, usually in the hundreds of milliseconds. Computer monitors are usually better with input lag in the tens of milliseconds. High end “gaming” monitors and super high end TVs can have input lag under ten milliseconds. This still isn’t as good as a CRT(input lag can be as low as 1 or 0.1 milliseconds) , but it can make a big difference. If you have a spare monitor, or have already bought a monitor for PC gaming, I’d try those before buying a CRT. If CRT screens are truly unavailable to you, look for a gaming monitor with a high refresh rate and a feature called “backlight strobing”. This imitates CRT display technology to reduce motion blur.
Thanks for all the added in-depth info Alan!
aGameScout 👍🏽
Some streamers have proven that a fast gaming monitor (1 frame slower than CRT) plus an emulator with "runahead" (1 frame faster than NES) can all sum to an experience that is measurably the same as a CRT and NES. That said, ive only seen one such setup and it's a lot more expensive than the CRT option.
Ik it's not quite the same, but playing classic score attack on TE:C is also an option :p
Just wanted to tell you that you're using the Yeti wrong. It records from the front, not the top.
I'm actually pretty lucky for the setup I currently have for NES Tetris. I use a Phillips CRT TV that has composite video out that I use for capturing video. What's really cool about this video out is that it can also record RF and S-Video sources but only in composite. Right now I play on an original NES but I'm considering moving to playing on the Famicom as it's smaller size fits my setup more than the big grey box although that would require getting a cartridge converter and a controller adapter if I ended up switching. The capture card I use is a Roxio EasyVHS card which I found at Goodwill of all places for $3 and it works perfectly and has S-Video support. I have my own custom NES OBS stream layout with a fullscreen webcam. The webcam I use is a Logitech 720p camera, it's not the best webcam but it gets the job done. All I need now is to just get better at NES Tetris.
Nice! Sounds like a rock solid setup. Hope to see you in a future tournament!
4:27 Put Jake in there too....
That webcam seems to add a lot of beard!
Haha, yeah, you can see the hair growth over the 3 months this video was made! The intro was filmed in January right after I got a haircut and trimmed my beard, the main part was filmed in February, and the webcam part was filmed a few days ago
My CRT is too F@%$)(# heavy! But obtaining one was the best decision I made to advance my Tetris game. Playing on CTWC TVs felt no different than what I do at home.
Great vid. Hope to see another one soon.
You know, when i originally watched this video over 4 years ago, i never could've dreamt that one day i would possess an actual console.
i hope it's the same for me someday
In your video, at the start when you show all the different things that you need, you list the nes controller at three dollars on GameStop but in the google doc it refers me to dkoldies which sells controllers at 15 dollars. Which one is the correct one? It seems that they must be different controllers, as the price difference is dramatic. Could you please clarify?
After putting the video up I removed links to GameStop because they were being crappy in their response to CoVid. It looks like they've now marked up their NES controllers on their website to $8. I don't remember DKOldies initially being that expensive, they must have marked up their controllers as well. Unfortunately everywhere you can buy online seems to have their prices dramatically been affected by CoVid.
aGameScout Thank you very much for the quick response! I will use this information when I start getting my items together.
I just want to mention the store I got my NES from, www.lukiegames.com. Their stuff is definitely more expensive that eBay, but it's easier to find stuff compared to eBay. I think you also forgot to mention the power adapter for the NES, which you need to get one of a specific power output or the console will make a kinda whining sound. I don't remember the exact power output you need, i'll find that later
Question? that NES clone only has HDMI
I got one and only has HDMI old TVs don’t have HDMI
Hey, I really appreciate this video, up until now I've only ever played on PC using an emulator and I've not really been sure about where I might find better equipment, especially a CRT TV where I am located to play tetris on and discovering there are consoles besides the original NES that can run original cartridges and facebook marketplace being somewhere I'd never thought of for buying CRT's of which there are many from a quick check I had is amazingly helpful.
One thing I would love to know if you have an answer would be that in my region I know that PAL is the type we use rather than NTSC, does this mean that should I ever be interested in competing in NTSC play or even just practicing on that type for fun that my only option to do so would be using an emulator or is there a way around this, is it possible for NTSC consoles and cartrides to work in PAL regions or vice versa for example or even something else I might be missing?
If you do end up seeing and replying to this thank you so much, it'd be really appreciated! Amazing Video!
Hey Danno! Yes, you can get NTSC consoles and cartridges to work in PAL areas. I'm not sure exactly what would work where you are, but my friend Lars from Belgium says that "As far as I know most CRTs manufactured in Europe after a certain year (early 2000s and maybe even older) support both PAL and NTSC. And for the NES itself, you can use the power supply of a PAL NES on an NTSC NES." If you run into further technical issues, there's facebook groups and discords that can help out.
@@aGameScout That's great to hear and very helpful thanks so much for the reply!
The TV shown at 9:23 isn't actually a CRT, it's a rear projection TV and those have more input lag on them than a CRT.
I just use emulator and xbox controller and dpad but I might get an 8bitdo controller
I just bought a 27" quasar(remember that brand?) for 5 bucks so my 3 year old can play Duck Hunt. There's plenty out there to be had.
Lots of help needed bud. Keep playing, um, yeah, keep playing like that lol.
How do you play 1v1 tetris? Is there a way to setup my nes to play tetris with my friend?? (doesnt have to be exactly like CTWC). I would love to play my friends in some 1v1 tetris action without having to buy tetris effect. Is it a game genie code? Is it 2 Nintendos daisy chained together? PLEASE HELP 😀😀
Technically yes logistically no
Now in Poland tetris cart this is so expensive and really rare.
Could you do a video about a nes tetris layout like Josephs?
Amazing work bro. I really needed all the info. You're the best.
Three questions I hope you could answer me:
All this using an emulator with a ROM in a PC is legal to do it:
- Can I record just the screen of the videogame (me playing it, but myself not appearing in the video, but my voice talking on the background about the gameplay yes) and upload the video to RUclips?
- Can I record the screen of the videogame and also myself appearing in the video playing (me in a corner of the video) and upload the video to RUclips?
- Can I stream live a game ?
Also, i dont understand too much about copyright in these cases. Could I get a copyright claim in any of this situations?
No worries,you will not encounter any copyright claims by uploading tetris game footage! I have never heard of anyone encountering issues like this in the community.
Man, they are expensive, but i wanna play tetris, guess ill juat not play it :(
if you have a laptop or computer you can still play free online versions.
In my opinion "the works" console would be the NT Mini from Analogue Interactive, that console is a thing of beauty.
Why? The point is to create a setup as close as possible to the one used in actual competition. What purpose does spending $500+ on a nt serve?
Hi :) If you don’t fill the well, what ends a level to progress you to the next one? I could watch gameplay, but is there a better guide to the actual workings of the game for NES? And no I don’t mean the data about kill screens… just basic workings like scoring.
SOS !!!
I bought from US the NTNC Tetris but the NES i bought is from PAL region ! Will i be able to play normally (level 19 NTNC Speed) thank you ! And i hope i didn't made a tragic mistake 😝
This is so helpful! As someone who just bought their first original NES not even a couple days ago, I’m going to keep coming back to this video!
You forgot the fact that you can use a third party usb NES controller for the emulators
I thank for your videos I started recently to watch it and really wanted to start play Tetris on a original NES but I have a problem and could’t find nothing.
I live in Japan and here NES does t exist but there is the Famicom (that I don’t like) so I was wondering if I can use an NTSC NES in Japan and if I can use Famicom cartridges on NES.
Hope you can reply me. Thank you and and have good Tetris.
Hi Luca, I'm not sure, but you could ask on the discord server here: ctm.gg/discord
@@aGameScout thank you for the reply. Really appreciated :)
I found an original NES €2
For anyone who wants to start on emulator with keyboard, just remap your controls to use WASD instead of arrow keys, and something like JK for A and B. This will save you a ton of trouble when transitioning to controller. It's even better if you can use some kind of gamepad; Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch (pro) controllers all work perfectly well on PC and can be set up with your emulator of choice. You could also get an OEM NES controller and a USB adapter and use that, but of course that can cost some money so might not be preferable. Regardless of your circumstances, there's no reason to use arrow keys on emulator if you're ever planning on playing console.
The crt talk pisses me off. I told my mom our old crt was valuable and people seek them out for retro games. She scoffed at me and put it on the front porch for it to get rained on. Then it went to the dump. Instead of her doing the right thing and idk making a Craigslist post. 😠 😡
You don't need to buy a webcam, there's free solutions to use your phone as a webcam which should give you very good quality, I assume you can also use it as a microphone, but I personally don't have experience with that.
if you do use an LCD, if there's a game mode, you're doing yourself a severe dis-service by ignoring the option. of course some TVs still lag too much, but if you're waiting on a CRT, then this workaround should allow you to be a tad bit better.
also make sure to get a CRT that has no digital circuitry, the fancier and newer and larger TVs might have some delay because they pass everything through the digital circuitry. make sure to find one that has no HDMI, no component(some might be digital), no widescreens, and no features other than displaying a composite signal and/or RF. thankfully most CRTs are analog but you have to be careful.
You are so chill, I don't even care for Tetris but I love watching your videos.
5:55 that moment when you knew you fucked up 😂
Other options for "The Works" would include the slightly rarer top-loader NES, which will allow you to play both the NTSC and PAL versions of Tetris, and if you're looking to be a right-handed hypertapper: a Goofyfoot controller from TotalRadNES. Goofyfoot controllers are tournament legal at the CTWC.
great additional info!
Are dogbones allowed in tournaments?
PAL Tetris at the wrong speed.
@@mirabilis Entirely true. It'll run at 60hz when an authentic PAL system would run it at 50.
@@rileyk5228 yep, they're are allowed, also there is some guys that make controllers that are allowed, they have an image that says CTWC approved.
What i can get from argentina
In-a-pinch: a comuter (already have), emulator and rom (already have, player some Classic Tetris Latam tournaments)
An lcd tv (already have one)
Obs (already have)
The essentials: nothing (too expensive)
The works: nothing (too expensive)
I've watched a half a dozen of your videos over the months and i follow speedruns, world records, games, and tetris. However, this video is one of the best I've seen that explains hardware, software, need, etc for all types of games etc. I love this video. It applies to a lot of things, not just tetris. You should change the title to match that.
So, If you are somehow buying a setup right now, please, please, please.
DO NOT buy other consoles that you think will work anyway. I bought one and it didn't do what it seemed it was supposed to, then I bought another one and the same thing happened, and now I'm buying the Retro-bit. Please, don't buy other ones.
I'm happy you made this. I really want to start playing Tetris and I didn't know where to start. I'm probably starting with an emulator (after buying the cartridge so it isn't illegal haha) and I'll get other stuff if I really like Tetris
LCD lag may be what's killing my progress!
Update: Been playing on an old CRT for a month and it's only a tad more responsive. My score is still subpar, so I have other weaknesses to iron out. But I've also discovered that playing on a Windows-based emulator (FCEUX) results in the worst scores of all, since it introduces other problems (notably the NES emulation speed is about 10% too fast, and DAS seems too jumpy).
CRT these days are so expensive
Is NTSC NES with pal tv possible?
The TV would need to be compatible with NTSC. My friend Lars (jazzthief81) from Belgium has told me that most European CRTs manufactured after the early 2000's support both PAL and NTSC.
I want to know how the youtubers and streamers do the layout on their screen. I would like to be able to do the same.
Also, really great video. It motivated me to go back to my roots and dust off my old NES and Tetris cartrige!
NES was never released in my country. So it is hard to get the game or system here.
But hopefully one day.

Hello I used to play the Gameboy version, but I heard a lot of times that version is not good?, what is wrong with that one? can't find the flaws
If you have the nes classic with the original controller and have nes tetris on it, would that be considered a good setup or would that be not recommended. It used hdmi so it would be best and easiest for me to play. Thanks
And I am here playing Tetris on emulator with a Xbox one controller or when I am on the toilet I just play it on my Game Boy Color.
Sadly, I don't know how to get a cartridge here in my region. I want to join the tournaments but I can't find any.
i sadly don't have an NES but i do have an emulator so i guess that's good
good to see i can participate in online tournaments though
I remember there being an entire shipping container of CRT monitors at the tip a couple of years ago. Now they're worth more than $100 on ebay where I live. They were sitting on a gold mine.
Yeah, it's crazy how one person's trash can be another person's treasure. You have to know the market exists though to take advantage. There's probably some old stuff I have that someone would pay a lot for but I just have no idea!
Dude, emulators are totally legal, no less so than clone consoles. Obtaining the rom legally is too complicated to be practical though.
9:33 Imagine playing Dusk on an already dark screen lol
(But thankfully that's not an immediate worry for a beginner, Dusk is in Level 146, after 117 Kill Screen levels XD)
how viable is just using the capture card output on your monitor as your display. no TV at all
Awesome and helpful video, this is going to help a lot of people get into NES Tetris for years to come I expect
Boom, upload for David
I got rid of all my CRTs years ago after gaming on them for decades. Kinda strange to see younger gamers suggest such old hardware over much better options:
1. Use an emulator with an NES-controller. Same experience for only the price of the controller and much easier to stream
2. Use the NES Mini. Still an emulator, but an official one and has the original controller. Must be modded to add Tetris, but also allows you to run the Tetris rom hacks that are used by the top runners. Also connects directly to the HDMI of your TV, so no CRT necessary. You need a cheap HDMI capture device which start at 5 EUR if you want to stream.
3. Run the rom on your other console. NES emulators are available on basically any console of the last 20 years. Just get an NES-style controller for the system or an adapter to attach one.
4. Get a modern NES compatible console with HDMI and NES controllers like the RES Plus if you really want to use the cartridge version. Still saves you from buying a CRT.
Much easier, cheaper and accessible than going for a setup that requires a CRT. CRTs nowadays only make sense to enjoy well made pixel art, but Tetris isn't the game that would fall into that category ;)
12:44 well that didnt age well
hahaha was about to say this
Level 10, not too bad? Please. I got to level 29 in the early to mid 90s. no one had to teach me DAS you just did it. I remember screaming at my brother to hold the damn button down. GRRRR " I cant get it over there"! Still frustrating to think about him playing. Lol.
"Tetris NES Nintendo snes n64 video game"
That amalgamation would be a nightmare to play.
I play NES Tetris with my original NES and cartridge from 1989. I use the RCA jacks instead of the RF output with my HDTV.
The furthest I ever got was the building taking off like a rocket.
Why is Nintendo NES the version that is played competitively? I've always been of the opinion that Tengen NES Tetris is by far the superior version of the game. Or for that matter, even though it has beginner unfriendly controls, there's also Bulletproof Software's Tetris on Famicom. Why is only the Nintendo developed version played competitive?
There could be a lot of reasons why but here's what I think is the strongest:
- Tengen Tetris was developed by Atari as an unliscenced game on the NES but being the strict company Nintendo shut the party down quickly. This meant an early cease in production which makes it much less accessible than the "boatloads" of Nintendo Tetris carts made.
Edit: Also a similar case with BPS Tetris as well I believe
@@yurilia7384 There might be something to sheer accessibility, but Tengen's Tetris beat Nintendo's Tetris to the market by a matter of nearly four months. When Nintendo released theirs, they took Tengen to court and a few weeks later, Tengen was forced to recall their inventories from stores. But then as now, a games sales are strongest within its initial weeks, and there are a lot of people who did buy Tengen Tetris back then, including myself. It isn't as rare as people make it out to be. You did need to be in the right place at the right time, but it wasn't hard to be back in 1989. The game was everywhere.
BPS Tetris was _never_ recalled. That meat Nintendo's Tetris to the market by literally years and years, and Nintendo's Tetris was never actually released on Famicom.
if nothing else, then i see the ctwc as a passion project started by a few people who all had fond memories of the game from their earlier days, which happened to be Nintendo Tetris
And the spearheader Robin Mihara was one who participated in the NWC tournament, a tournament only endorsed by Nintendo. Which today is why Thor Aackerlund is maxing out and going to level 30 on Nintendo's Tetris
i was thinking about emulator and an usb nes controler itrs sooooo hard to get a nes and the tetris game from where i come from :C
I got myself an NES emu for ky phone, and i actually got quite good (not as good as pros but playing on your phone controls is kinda weird since you can't feel the buttons to press it) but also got to ocer a 500k score starting at lvl9, lvl18 starts mostly go to the 300k to just below 500k and transcition kinda kills me
