Nintendo handhelds and Tetris go together like chocolate and peanut butter, so it's a bit disheartening that the stellar Tetris DS is so hard to come by these days.
Hudson hears your pain and is stepping in with Tetris Party Live for DSiWare, which was discovered by Siliconera via an OLFC rating (G, by the way).
Tetris Party on WiiWare turned out to be a blast and a portable (and available) rendition will certainly scratch a certain itch.

I'd rather have a "Express" version of Tetris DS, but this would work nicely. Will Miis appear in the game though?
Wow, this is awesome news!
Will it be online?
Today I bought my sister a 2nd hand copy of Tetris DS for her birthday. It wont play in her DSi. Annoyed if it is a bootleg.
Maybe I could give her my copy & get this but I love Tetris DS so much.
Never had Tetris DS, which I regret quite hardcore. But if this is any good, I may pick it up. Best be online and 5 dollars =D
I've never tried chocolate and peanut butter before though.
Or just get a Gameboy?
We need Tetris DSiWare game, so this is good news. I already have Tetris DS, but I may download this baby.
Yay!!! Can't wait for this! I love Tetris!
If this is a good Tetris version, consider me sold.
This is great news, and long overdue.
@Joe Diddley Your copy is probably a bootleg. It seems like 99% of Tetris DS on eBay are counterfeit. Do not buy anything DS from Hong Kong, because anything from there is a fake.
Hells yeah!
Nice!
@JoeDiddley - Sorry man, but you got a bootleg. Authentic DS games will work in the DSi.
YESSSSS!!!!! I LOVE Tertis! This game is long overdue! Insta-Buy!
I actually would've settled for a 200 point copy of the original game, but I have a feeling this will be 500. Either way, though. . .
YESSSSS!!!!!
Nice!
omgwtfbbqlolmaomgtforly? Big mess of texting language....
But I've been finally waiting for this! I'll buy this and the arcade Hoops from Skyworks!
Looks like Wiis Tetris Party. I have an awful Tetris disease! Last night I played Wii's Tetris until 4 am. Tetris will ruin me some day, and I will be happy while going into ruins. Wii's Tetris Party is the best game in the world(DS's retail Tetris is superb too, and DS phat has even better buttons), Its also the worst drug.
Tetris DS is by far the greatest Tetris iteration on any system; as others have said, I'd much prefer that to be broken up for download.
Well, someone stole my copy of Tetris DS so I'll consider then if I ever get a DSi.
I'll consider this, especially since I lost my copy of Tetris DS almost a year ago .
Sadly, my copy of Tetris DS turned out to be a bootleg as well. It still played fine until that fateful day: April 5th, 2009. Okay, so I didn't know it wouldn't work and didn't try it until a little while after that, but you get the point.
I'm sick and tired of retail releases of Tetris getting pitifully small prints (Tetris Evolution on XB360 was the same way, though it's far less sought after than Tetris DS for obvious reasons). Especially when the downloads turn out to be inferior (Tetris Splash isn't really very good, and I find it VERY unlikely that this upcoming download can compare to the prior retail awesomeness). It's not like Tetris doesn't sell, so WHY do they discontinue it so fast in the FIRST place?
Buy.
I expect this will be a premium release if the WiiWare pricing is anything to go by. Nice, though! I do think Tetris and handhelds were made for each other!
Dont like Tetris but ill give this a try.
<<<<<<<<<<<< finally I will be able to afford to play tetris on the dsi
I took my bootleg copy of Tetris back to the store today & managed to swap it for a copy that worked fine on DSi. Lucky as it was the only other copy in stock.
