A few months ago, while announcing the existence of Tetris Forever, Nintendo revealed that their Nintendo Entertainment System version of Tetris would be coming to the Nintendo Switch Online service later in the year. Many assumed that this would coincide with last month’s release of the Tetris compilation, but that didn’t happen. We instead got Donkey Kong Land. And then Donkey Kong Land 2. The good news is that the wait is almost over, because Nintendo will finally get around to re-releasing their version of the game on December 12. That’s cool news, but is this game worth playing? To answer that question, I flipped through the pages of Game Zone, Nintendo Magazine System, Aktueller Software Markt and more classic magazines to see what the critics said back when Tetris was first released. I sure hope you’re ready to match horizontal lines, because it’s time for another puzzling episode of Nintendo Switch Online Review Crew.
