Tetris DS

Tetris DS (テトリスDS Tetorisu Dī Esu) is a Touch! Generations puzzle game developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo DS. THQ announced Tetris DS before E3 2005, and scheduled it to make an appearance at the show. However, the company decided to cancel the game, and Nintendo released their own make of Tetris DS in March 2006. Part of the Tetris game series, the game supports up to ten players locally (with just one Nintendo DS game cartridge) and supported two or four player battle modes online with the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service (this service has since been discontinued for all Nintendo DS games as of May 2014).

Tetris DS features several new modes of play, each with a different Nintendo theme. Themes include Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Balloon Fight, Donkey Kong, and Yoshi's Cookie. Multiplayer gameplay also incorporates items to be used competitively.etris DS has an 84% on Metacritic and an 87% on GameRankings, which mean generally favorable reviews. GamePro gave the game a perfect score, stating that "Tetris DS is an amazing puzzle package, and is easily one of the best DS games to date". Nintendo Power gave Tetris DS 9.5/10, saying that "you may not love all of it, but you will love much of it". Game Informer gave the game a 9.25/10, and the reviewer said "I can't think of any better way to kill a long plane ride". GameSpot gave the game the most negative score, 7.5/10, stating that "It's a much better version of Tetris than other recent incarnations, but it's still saddled with some unfortunate compromises."
