Gotta Drop the Block
In a muddled set of circumstances, it appears that excellent arcade puzzlerTetris: The Grand Masteris to finally receive a home port. That’s according to Arika VP Ichiro Mihara, who seemingly announced the port by announcing that its announcement has been delayed… Still with me?
As spotted by Nintendo Life, Miharatook to Twitter yesterdayin order to apologize for the fact that the reveal of the awesome block-busting game’s home port could not be revealed yet due to reasons beyond Arika’s control — thus revealing the existence of the home port regardless… Well, at least they got it out there. No further information was noted by Mihara, so we still do not knowTetris: TGM’sport platforms nor its release date. We’ll find out soon enough.
Tetris: The Grand Masterlaunched in arcades back in 1998, fast becoming one of the standout titles in the compelling series. Often used in both competitive andspeedrunning scenes,Tetris: TGMwould be followed in the arcade scene by numerous reworks and expanded sequels — such asTetris: The Absolute: Grand Master 2 PlusandTetris: The Grand Master 3 – Terror-Instinct— but surprisingly has never seen a home release. If Mihara is to be believed, then this is a grand day for theTetriscommunity, who will already be clearing space for the incoming volley of Tetrominos.
We will be sure to keep you updated when any official word from Arika is forthcoming.
#arika_26th#tgm_series本日予定していたTGMシリーズ家庭用に関するアナウンスですが、アリカさん以外の都合でまだ公開することができなくなりました。また、別途検討中のTGM新作ですが、この件の「成功」を条件にして欲しいというライセンササイドのリクエストがあり、凄く真っ当なのでソレで。
