Play New Tetris, The (Europe) Online

Nintendo released The New Tetris for the Nintendo 64 in 1999, a time when the console was home to many multiplayer favorites. Developed by H2O Entertainment and published by Nintendo, it stood out as a thoughtful evolution of the classic puzzle formula rather than a simple port.

You control the falling tetrominoes, rotating and placing them to clear lines and build toward gold or silver bricks by matching four identical blocks in a square. The main objective remains clearing lines efficiently, but the added layer of crafting special bricks for extra points and sending garbage rows to opponents gives the game strategic depth. Matches can be fast and tense, especially in multiplayer, where you try to outlast friends by managing your own screen while disrupting theirs. It feels both familiar and fresh, pulling you into a state of focused flow where every decision matters.
