Tetris Party Deluxe Announced (Wii/DS)
February 21, 2010
Yet another Tetris game has been announced for release on Nintendo’s Wii and DS, this time called Tetris Party Deluxe and following on from Tetris Party, which I quite enjoyed when I downloaded it as a WiiWare title, Tetris Online Inc. are set to release Tetris Party Deluxe which will build on the previous title adding new modes and features to the game.
There will be six new modes added which will include a game called ‘Bombliss’ and another called ‘vs. Sprint’ that will allow up to four players competing against each other to be the first to complete 40 lines. You can create your own shadow puzzles in an edit mode within ‘Shadow’ and you’ll also be able to fight it out online via the Nintendo Wi-Fi connection as well as local multiplayer games.

Heracles Chariot Racing is a new racing game from Neko Entertainment, which has now become available on WiiWare. It was released not so long ago in the States, and following on from the success it made over the pond, it’s now available for European gamers as well.
From the videos that I’ve seen, it looks like a mix between Mario Kart and Crash Team Racing. It looks really nice – I would say that because I do love cartoon style games, but this does look like it could be a bit of fun.

November 28, 2008
I remember the good old days back when Tetris could only be played on the relic that is the GameBoy and how amazing and addictive it was!
Well now with Tetris Party it’s been revamped and has more options, I find it more addictive as it had me up until the early hours of the morning.
There are 5 different gaming types within Tetris Party which include:
- Marathon Mode (Basic Tetris game)
- Computer Battle (1 on 1 with the Wii)
- Field Climber (Get a little man out of the board using the “Tetriminos”)
- Shadow (Fill the shadow with the “Tetriminos”)
- Stage Racer (Race through different courses using different “Tetriminos”)
- And ONLINE!
You can play multiplayer as well, so if you have a sibling, other half or pet that you fancy showing up, then crack on!

This morning I downloaded my first WiiWare game, ‘Lost Winds’. I’ve been waiting quite a while for Nintendo’s new channel to come out and I’m glad it’s here!
WiiWare is the same as the virtual console, only the games are all brand new and made by smaller games companies, to give them a chance to show what they can do!
