NES Tetris arrives on Nintendo Switch Online

NES Tetris Drops on Nintendo Switch Online!

Get ready, Tetris fans! The classic NES version of Tetris is hitting Nintendo Switch Online on December 12th!

A Blast from the Past

Nintendo first hinted at this release last August during a Tetris Forever Partner Direct video. While the initial announcement lacked a specific date, we now have confirmation: next week!

This addition expands the already impressive library of NES, Super NES, and Game Boy titles available to Nintendo Switch Online subscribers. The higher-tier Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack also unlocks Nintendo 64, Game Boy Advance, and SEGA Mega Drive games, plus perks like the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Booster Course Pass.
