Tetris Ultimate headed to 3DS next month

As if the Tetris movie wasn't enough

You've already heard about the 'epic' Tetris movie that's in production, right? Well, in case you were looking to get back into the world of Tetris — there's a new Tetris game headed to the 3DS.

Tetris Ultimate will be sliding into the Nintendo eShop on November 11th with seven different game modes. One of these modes is a 3DS exclusive single-player challenge mode, there's also a 1 to 4 player Battle mode — sounds kind of crazy.

What are the other modes can you expect to see in Tetris Ultimate for the 3DS? These modes:

  • Marathon: Complete level 15 and rack up as many points as you can.
  • Endless: Keep clearing lines until your stamina runs out.
  • Ultra: Race to score as many points possible before time runs out in this three-minute challenge.
  • Sprint: Clear 40 lines as quickly as you can.
  • Battle: Go head-to-head to knock out 1-4 challengers.
  • Battle Ultimate: Be the last person playing after using crazy power-ups. Go on the offensive with Carousel and make your opponent’s Well shift to the left after each move, or trigger Let it Rain and dump garbage down on top of them. Buzz Saw helps you out by clearing away a number of your lines, especially useful when you’re in a spot of trouble.
  • Challenge: From disappearing Tetriminos (Tetris playing pieces) to orientation-locked Tetriminos, be prepared for a variety of challenges that will test a player’s fortitude.

If the 3DS isn't your platform of choice, hold on to your pants, Tetris Ultimate is will also be coming (one day) to the PC, PS4, Vita and Xbox One.
