So, just so i've got this clear. Is this happening in Europe and the US or only one of the regions?
So I have to find a buddy? A Tetris-playing buddy?
.1 I need to be sure that i dont have work or class on the tournament days
.2 I wonder if the partner can be an online friend...
Who wants to co-op with me?
Who wants to co-op with me?
I'm almost positive it has to be local co-op.
So I guess I'll stop the trend here.
Come on! I'm awesome at Tetris!
If this is local co-op, count me out. If it's online, I'm in, if I can register that Wii points card my mom's been holding captive in time...
Ill pass. My friends are terrible at Tetris
I'm bummed its local. i'll have to play with 2 wiimotes lol
i'll have to play with 2 wiimotes lol
Have you tried?
I just did and it was terrible. lol
I tried the first competition and I'm not very good at Tetris Party as it is. I'll most likely pass this one, I don't know any Tetris fans. I hope other WiiWare games with online high scores will have competitions like this.
@AlexSays
No, not yet! I taught you could use pointer controls in this game, is that true?
The bad part is none of my friends like Tetris! They just want to play Gears...
Yay for Tetris Party tournaments! Boo for co-op tournaments
But hell, we're all gonna be in the same position, so I suppose it's fair.
One thing I don't like about these though is the way that you have to register your scores - which I kept forgetting to do - why can't they just register them from the console?
That stinks that you need a partner. Guess I will be playing with two remotes.
This will be good for me and my brother, since we both like the game a lot. And being twins, cooperation shouldn't be hard.
So just to clarify this is LOCAL co-op, correct? ONLINE Co-op would be awesome, no doubt.
I'm not TOO good at this game. I suck online because I'm always whooped by amazing players.
@SRPirate: I'd love to if we could! LOL.
So, anybody in the top 100?
Sure, my girlfriend and I placed 27th. Good fun!
