Party in the mail



New modes, Wii Speak support and more blocks than the entire 8-bit era


You may have thought Tetris Party on WiiWare had exhausted all variants on the classic puzzler, but you'd be wrong. Very wrong.


Hudson Soft, Tetris Online and Majesco have announced today that they've found even more kitchen sinks to throw into the mix for the retail release that is Tetris Party Deluxe for Wii and DS. Six new modes, including something called Bombliss and VS. Sprint, have meandered their way in alongside four-player local and online multiplayer.


Balance Board support is still in, with newfangled support for the Wii Wheel and Wii Speak included. Presumably the latter is for swearing at talking to your friends in heated online matches, but if it allows for yelling "twist!" and "drop!" at the TV to play then color us pleased.


Tetris Party Deluxe is set to hit North America this June, with European launch details still hazy. The full press release is below.

"After seeing how well 'Tetris Party' was received on WiiWare, we immediately began working with Hudson Soft to develop an even more impressive version of the game intended to reach larger audiences at retail for both Wii and Nintendo DS," said Minoru Arakawa, president and chief executive officer of Tetris Online, Inc.


The Tetris brand is stronger than ever before, and we're thrilled to be working with world-class partners such as Majesco and Hudson to help deliver the best Tetris experience possible to fans this summer."
