A playthrough of Nintendos 1989 puzzle game for the NES, Tetris.
This video shows both game types and all of their endings. The A-Type games begin at 0:17, and the B-Type games begin at 21:56.
(The final B-Type ending at 41:28 is especially great with its cameo appearances of all of Nintendos major mascot characters! I never wouldve pegged Samus as a cello player, nor Bowser as an accordion man.)
I dont think I need to regale anyone with the complete history of Tetris, but the NES version is notable for a couple of different reasons. It is one of the few NES games that launched after its handheld counterpart (https://youtu.be/BQwohHgrk2s), and it wasnt the first NES Tetris game to be released in America. Tengen had already produced an arguably superior version, but their cart was pulled from shelves about a month after its release. Nintendo had officially acquired the rights that Tengen *thought* were theirs to produce the game for the US console market, and Tengens rendition of the game was quickly sidelined.
You can find my video of the Tengen version here: https://youtu.be/lUJbiLJrkgo
But while Nintendos port of the game is, ironically enough, not as good as Ataris, it is still an excellent cart that managed to hook millions of players. The fun music, the simple yet addictive gameplay, and a boatload of cameos by classic Nintendo characters all made it the perfect game to chill with, and its vibe resonated with everybody, elementary school boys and technophobic grandmothers alike.
And does anyone else remember those crazy commercials Nintendo ran nonstop during the 1989 holiday season? Like the ones with the Russian cartoon bears and the opera singer? Hahaha, man, how times have changed.
No cheats were used during the recording of this video.
