Tetris DS - Next Game Mode Revealed

Nintendo of America is revealing the modes of play featured in Tetris DS one by one. Today, mode number three: Push.

After the revealation of the Standard and Touch game modes, Nintendo has revealed the third mode of play: Push. In Push, the goal is to clear two lines at a time to move the screen down and push opponents into the red zone. Players just can't let their own blocks build up too high, or it's game over. Players also can play this mode with another player using DS Download Play. Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection in this mode features two-player battles against friends or strangers.

A brief explaination of the previously revealed modes below.

Standard: This Mario-themed mode features the same addictive game play that made the original Tetris so wildly popular. Players guide falling Tetriminos (falling blocks) and form horizontal lines to clear them away. Mario runs around Super Mario Bros. levels in the background. Standard mode includes items for players to use to foil their opponents. When competing against friends using Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, players can engage in two- or four-player battles with or without use of items. When competing against strangers, players can engage in two-player battles without items or four-player battles with items.

Touch: This unique take on Tetris really shows off the touch-screen capability of Nintendo DS. Players use a stylus to drag and move Tetriminos in a giant stack to make them fall into horizontal lines. In early levels, they can tap Tetriminos to spin them just the way they need them. Players have as much time as they need to carefully plan their moves, so it plays very differently from the other frantic modes.
