I was initially disappointed that Greentea decided not to participate in CTWC this year, but now its clear that he wanted to spend as much time as possible perfecting Tetris Effect Connected, especially the Classic Tetris mode, and now I couldn't be more grateful for that. I'm beyond grateful that the Tetris Company allowed this to happen, so that I can have an opportunity to practice my core Classic Tetris skills during a time that I cannot obtain the original NES hardware due to Covid-19. Can't wait to pick up the game on release day!

Having collaborated with Greentea back in 2016, I'm sure Greentea is the perfect person to lead the multiplayer game design. He writes code, composes music, at one point built his own rhythm game, and wrote a Japanese blog detailing NES Tetris' game mechanics in extreme details. After seeing this video, I preordered without a doubt!

It’s so cool seeing a new game come out that pays tribute and homage to a dedicated section of their fanbase. (i dont think you have to ask which games i used to play)

i feel like green tea is a 500 years old magician of tetris in a teenager body

we love you both,greentea for his unwavering positive vibes and ofc the smile and aGameScout for pretty much the same reason :D. i had to pause the E bracket video that iam watching right now because i saw you posted this. nice to see you 2 have a chat and i will sure be buying tetris effect now.

Extra tetris and level 30! yaaaaayyy perfect game!!!

Thanks to Scout and Enhance for uploading this coverage and interview! Now for the first time in 31 years we have a legit repro of Nintendo NES version in Japan thanks to two greatest CTWC ambassadors from the country.

Amazing video Scout! I loved the interview with Greentea!

Awesome video. Can't wait for the release!

Thank you for doing this channel. Your storytelling is fantastic

Really nice video, I loved the interview with greentea. However it also cemented for me the fact that they will never add ARS/TGM style to a modern tetris release since he said he had to fight hard to even get Classic ruleset in. The only reason they could convince them was probably that the viewership for CTWC is doing so well right now. While TGM is basically dead... so yeah RIP to that dream of mine.

This is perfect been following classic Tetris for a while but wasn’t sure I wanted to invest into an nes setup just to try play but now I can play this as my first steps into playing Tetris

This is so cool to see .. imagine if all retro games got this kind of respect from their devs (or copyright holders, anyway) .. [cough] Warcraft III ... [cough] Smash Bros

I just got Tetris Effect Connected for Switch. I'm really glad I found this video - I had no idea this mode existed. Thanks!

I don’t even play Tetris, let alone NES tetris, but this is freaking awesome! Seeing a old game with a loyal fan base being accurately ported to a modern console with the help of a respected player from the community to ensure everything goes right sounds like a dream come true.

This seemed long overdue to me, but definitely would have taken a lot of care to get right - nicely done!

@aGameScout another good video with indepth content again nice one

I'm sobbing and shaking and gagging and choking and crying and laughing and vomiting Tetris is the best Fighting Game Community

I swear I feel like Joseph emergence onto the scene and taking down the goliath that was Jonas really catalyzed the rebirth of a 30+ year old game using modern code. Such a beautiful thing.

Finally I can make local tournaments by using only one PC. Thank you, Greentea for help with development. Tetris Effect made a lot of impression to me from start, and now it will take a separate place in my heart. Thank you, David, for explanation and promoting such masterpiece

Glad to see that at least tetris really does care about its community! They really didn't have to do this, but they did!

He's back!!!

I think from a legal perspective the might not be allowed too. To have a version that's near identical to the core gameplay of another game who's rights are owned by another company. At least with this classic battle mode, the core appeal is a multiplayer function that didn't exist in the original game making it legally different enough to get away with

yay more greentea :)

It's 2024. I own the original NES Tetris (not the Tengen one), I got Effect on Quest 3, and the Classic Mode is my go-to. It sucks you can't play the two secret levels (1984 and 1989) in Classic Mode as those two versions were made before the modern Tetris Ruleset too.

This is dope. It'd be interesting if the tournament swapped over to it.

Greentea Tetris God. So interested to try it.

I CLICKED THIS SO FAST WHEN I SAW GREENTEA! BIG FAN!

Awesome!!

Boom Tetris from Greentea!

Great video. Hope tetris effect helps loosen up the tetris companies standardization. TGM, classic, modern, etc can all coexist, maybe just standardize mode names and include game info a bit more clearly.

Wish there was a simpler graphics look or an option for it but this still looks amazing.

It's not a hard drop, the speed is fast enough that the piece appears on the ground and you have a split second to move it around before it settles. Watch the other pieces and you'll see that they all look like they're getting hard dropped, but there's some movement still
