Tetris The Absolute Grandmaster 2 Plus Slots Into Hamster's Arcade Archives Next Month

Yessss, this is an absolute classic. Still can’t get anywhere near M never mind GM on this via MAME.

okay yeah this one i gotta buy

I want this. But I also don’t wanna snap my switch in half. Decisions…

Cool I suppose. But I'm alright with Tetris Effect over here.

I have the first Tetris Grandmaster Arcade Archives on my Switch, and it's one of my favorite score chasers on the whole system. It's pretty tough, but not in an unforgiving way.

This sequel, however, looks punishing, and I'm looking forward to yelling aggressively at my screen while playing it 😁

Hamster's tireless efforts have greatly improved my gaming life!

I enjoy the first one so probably may pick this one up too while enjoying the Tetris movie.

Another Tetris for my Switch, can never have enough of them. I'm convinced TGM3 is coming as well, it's just a matter of when.

Still missing Puyo Puyo Tetris 1 and G-MODE Archives 33: Tetris Diamond, though.

EDIT: Come to think of it, what are the chances of Arika managing to finally release the unreleased Tetris: The Grand Master 4 – The Masters of Round/The Grand Master 2015?

Another Tetris game on the Switch?

I absolutely love the "Arcade Archives" by Hamster. Donkey Kong, Nintendo's Versus titles like Vs. Super Mario Bros., Tetris: The Grand Master, both Rolling Thunder titles, and so on...

My Switch library has an Arcade Archives group. Now, if only Nintendo would allow you to either put specific groups on your Switch main screen, or be able to jump to all your groups from the main screen. The fact that you have to go to "All Software" makes the grouping feature largely irrelevant, unless you have a boatload of digital titles to sift through to find a specific one. That's a very specific case usage.

NES Tetris is still my favorite of all but glad to see another port coming.

"Now, if only Nintendo would allow you to either put specific groups on your Switch main screen, or be able to jump to all your groups from the main screen."

nope! that would make it a folder, and too many people have asked for that feature for nintendo to put it in, now. what would that look like? 😋

Those hamster ports are really great. Crossing my fingers for a classic from data east called Tumblepop really loved that back in arcades as a kid. Would be instant purchase for me

How much Tetris does a guy really need? I don't care for the multiplayer aspect of it personally so Tetris 99 is lost on me personally, and otherwise I already have Tetris Effect Connected on my Switch. (And Tetris on the GameBoy application I suppose.) That's all the Tetris I personally need on my Switch.

Cool for the fans though of course. If they make a followup to Tetris DS though with all the fun Nintendo references thrown about in there then I'd probably get that though.

Anyone on the fence with the two of these Tetris games should download them as there’s a good chance of them being delisted when the rights expire.

Why hasn’t UK/EU got MetroCross?

@ecco6t9 exactly my thoughts! Will get it on day one.

We desperately need Hamster to get permission to port Sega and Midway's old coin-ops while the Switch is still around (Sega sure doesn't seem to care about doing it themselves). Nintendo doesn't have an exactly spotless history when it comes to backwards compatibility on new hardware, and the Switch's wealth of Arcade classics and schmups alone make it worth holding onto if eShop purchases don't carry forward; Sega and Midway would really round out those categories.

since they are bringing this over, I'd like to the Tetris plus games too.
