Let's Play Tetris 2/ SNES and NES/ Jimmy A Plays Series
1Welcome to another Hi-Score Challenge, today I'm taking on Tetris 2; both SNES and NES version of the game. A much different version of Tetris, and will take a little bit of time getting use to. How well did I do and am I really crazy about this version?

Motivated by the "Test Your Bits" Challenges from the Bits and Glory discord page, I want to start doing let's plays of me playing some real good, arcade/puzzle games; something that'll really clear my head. It's also the best way to be able to speak with all of you, since currently I'm not able to stream (due to poor internet connection mostly) I can sit there, relax, and just talk. So don't be a stranger; leave a comment, join my discord (link in my youtube bio), let's chat!

(From Wikipedia)
Tetris 2 (known in Japan as Tetris Flash Japanese: テトリスフラッシュ) is a video game published in 1993 and 1994 by Nintendo for the Game Boy, Nintendo Entertainment System and Super Nintendo Entertainment System.
Gameplay
As a variation of the Tetris concept, rather than having the objective of matching horizontal lines of blocks that descend from the top of the screen as tetrominos, instead the player matches the colors of the descending blocks (which include irregular tetromino shapes) to blocks already fixed on the game board, which causes blocks to disappear from the board when three blocks of the same color are matched, in a manner similar to the game Dr. Mario.
Reception
In the United States, it was the top-selling NES and Game Boy game in January 1994,[12] and the top Game Boy game in February.[13] In the United Kingdom, it was the top-selling NES game for eight months in 1994, in March[14] and then from May[15] through summer[16][17][18] and autumn[19][20] to November.[21] It was also the top-selling Game Boy game in August 1994.[18]
Electronic Gaming Monthly gave the SNES version an 8 out of 10, saying that "If you were a fan of the first one, then this one will definitely please." They particularly praised the backgrounds and the two-player mode.[5]
Reviews of the NES version were more mixed. The magazine Game Players, who reviewed the NES released in February 1994, called Tetris 2 "a disappointing attempt for puzzle fans who have patiently waited for this sequel."[6] Famitsu gave it a score of 21 out of 40.[2] Famitsu also gave the Game Boy version a 23 out of 40 score.[3]
