About ten years ago, my grandmother was staying in the hospital. When I visited her, she tells that me she’s bored and asks me if there’s a video game that “an old lady could understand”. I recommend Tetris to her, downloaded it on her tablet, and showed her how to play. The next week, I went to see her again. As soon as I walk into the room, she looks up from her tablet and says “I hate you for getting me addicted to this stupid game.”

Tetris Diamond is one of my favourite things on the eShop and I'd absolutely have no idea it exists if it wasn't for you, Jon! - I love all you do for bringing up these obscure oddities. I hope everybody purchases it immediately so the Nokia SMS app gets ported next.
-
Wonder if we will ever get a Fire Emblem Tetris spinoff where the divine dragon has to strategically set their "units" to create explosions/battles and end the reign of the Shadow Dragon Tetriminon
-
The other Tetris games are great but you can't beat that zen experience of playing Tetris Effect. it is an absolutely phenomenal game :)
-
You mentioned the A Theme, B theme and C Theme, but did you know GB Tetris has a secret fourth theme? In the very first prints of the Japanese versions of GB Tetris, the A Theme was not the famous Korobeiniki, but was instead a completely different song. This rarer version of the GB Tetris is known as the "Minuet version".
-
You forgot to mention that Tetris Effect Connected has NES Tetris basically built in! If you love Game boy Tetris, it’s worth checking it out!
-
Jon, this video is so good. That being said, I think its time for a ranking of your favorite Tetris games ever made. If there is anybody that could do such a list, it would be you.
-
Tetris, the easiest to learn, simplest gameplay but addictive to the core.
-
Puyo puyo Tetris is probably the one I’d recommend getting if you have multiple people you want to play with otherwise stick to Tetris effect
-
I honestly have not seen ANYONE mention the RPG mode in Puyo Tetris 2. Good on you Jon for giving me another reason to play the game again!
-
You all owe it to yourselves to get Tetris The Grand Master on Switch. ARIKA and the Tetris company need to see that the TGM series is wanted, and this is how they'll be able to get TGM4 made. I never thought the day would come that TGM would go worldwide, and this is a much better way on cost to play it than original hardware, importing it, etc. which will be A LOT of $ spent in the end.

I've been playing Type-B in Tetris GB on Switch. It is still super appealing, and not being able to hold a piece like the modern games makes a huge difference in strategy. I love it!
-
"Buy Tetris Effect. And if not, I'm coming for you..." Don't threaten me with a good time, Jon.
-
LITERALLY SEARCHED THE WORD "TETRIS" LAST NIGHT LOOKING FOR MORE TETRIS CONTENT AMD IM AWOKEN TO THIS. JON, YOU ARE WONDERFUL. YOU ARE A WISE MAN.
-
We started playing Tetris 99 every sunday, and we still are. We now play other Tetrises, and have a very healthy and motivated community. Tetris is the best! We need MORE! Hope NES Tetris and SNES Tetris & Dr. Mario (maybe Tetris Battle Gaiden?) make its way to NSO.
-
Dang, I'd bought Tetris Diamond already just to say I had every Switch Tetris game, but I had no idea Grand Master had been released too! I'm such a casual Tetris fan, having only... five versions of it... 😞
-
As someone who doesn't really like tetris, tetris effect is one of my favorite games. I would recommend it even if you're not a puzzle game fan
-
The thing with tetris becoming more forgiving is due to the system it uses to randomize the pieces. The game never knows which piece you “need” but it takes the 7 possible tetriminos and sorts them randomly. Then does it again when they are all used and so on.
-
Oh shoot, I didn't know Tetris Effect and Grandmaster were on Switch! I didn't even know what Diamond was. Sounds like I have some catching up to do. It was a pleasure to play Game Boy Tetris with you and I think it awoke something in the Tetris chamber on my brain. Good stuff.
-
Somehow I KNEW you were going to make a video about this as soon as GB Tetris was announced for the Switch Jon, and you didn’t disappoint. (Obligatory jealous comment about NES Nintendo Tetris not being on NSO. Yes I know it doesn’t have a 2 player mode, but I miss hearing the sugarplum fairies theme with falling tetrominoes dammit. XD)
