We all remember, as well as miss, the joy of playing Tetris on the original Gameboy. Gameboys were insanely popular back in the day, kind of like how iPhones and iPads are popular now. The good news is that you can now download new Tetris for iPhone, as EA has finally released an iOS version of this popular game.
One would think that EA would heavily publicize the release of Tetris for iPhone, considering the fact that almost everyone has played this iconic game at some point in their life. However EA released this game earlier today on the iTunes App Store rather sneakily, we should thank our app ninjas for spotting it up there.
The new re-imagined Tetris for iPhone replaces the previous Tetris for iOS which shall no longer be up for sale. The game has been completely redone and straight up you'll notice that it comes with a generous amount of color. The idea behind this classic puzzle game is still pretty much the same however the new Tetris for iPhone does come with a number of new modes such as One Touch Marathon and Tetris Galaxy. One Touch Marathon is nostalgic because all players have to do in this mode is to tap on the screen in order to keep the blocks from stacking all up to the screen, exactly like we used to do back in the Gameboy days. Tetris Galaxy is a new multi-level mode with power ups that intensify the gaming experience. There's also a subscription service dubbed T-Club that offers in-app purchases for in-game bonuses.
EA has said that an the new Tetris for iPad should be available for download from the iTunes App store very soon, as it has already been submitted. You can get your hands on the new Tetris for iPhone right now if you own an iPhone or iPod touch running iOS 3 firmware or later. Something tells us that this game is going to be very popular on the App Store, very soon considering the fact that it is a part of nearly everyone's childhood. New Tetris for iPhone costs $0.99.
