Nintendo Enriches Switch Online with Classic Tetris Titles and More!

In an exciting move for retro gaming enthusiasts, Nintendo has expanded its Nintendo Switch Online library by adding two beloved classics: Tetris DX for the Game Boy Color and a surprise inclusion that has sparked curiosity among fans.

While many were hoping for a different Tetris experience akin to the NES version of Tetris, the addition of Tetris DX has certainly flown under the radar as a delightful surprise, especially for those who haven’t had the chance to play it before. The game's charming music box rendition of the iconic Tetris Records theme is already winning hearts.

But hold on, that's not all — this addition raises an interesting point: just how many Tetris games are now available on the Switch? Let’s take a look at the impressive lineup:

- Tetris 99 - Tetris Effect: Connected - Tetris Forever (which features 17 games along with Tetris Time Warp) - Puyo Puyo Tetris - Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 - Nintendo's NES Tetris (available on NSO) - Tetris (Game Boy, available on NSO) - Tetris DX (available on NSO) - Tetris: The Grand Master (via Arcade Archives) - Tetris: The Absolute - The Grand Master 2 Plus (via Arcade Archives) - Tetris Diamond (exclusive to Japan via G-Mode Archives)

In total, if we include Tetris Time Warp, that brings the grand total to 27 games — or 28, for the true Tetris aficionados out there.

Additionally, if we want to get into some nostalgic trivia, we can't forget about the captivating Panel de Pon, which was rebranded as Tetris Attack in the West, and of course, the Tetris representation in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

With this latest addition, Nintendo delights both longtime fans and newcomers alike, making Switch Online an even more enticing platform for retro game lovers. Dive back into the world of Tetris and see how many of these classic titles you can conquer!
