Tetris Party is a deceptively simple, totally addictive puzzle game that is sure to keep you and all of your friends and family entertained for hours on end.
The WiiWare game features 10 never-before-seen single-player and multiplayer variations of Tetris, including Field Climber, Stage Racer, Shadow and Wii Balance Board-enabled modes (Wii Balance Board accessory sold with Wii Fit). Several of the modes give users the chance to take advantage of the unique point-and-shoot capabilities of the Wii Remote controller. The party doesn't stop there, though.
Take the Tetris fun online via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, where you can play multiplayer Tetris against up to five friends at a time. You can also see how your Tetris Party skills stack up against the rest of the world using the global ranking system.
Four unique tournaments will be hosted, each made up of one to four rounds. Each round is a variant of Tetris Party that will run bimonthly. At the end of each round, each player will receive a rank and confirmation code from the game.
Tetris Party Tournament No. 4 is the final opportunity for Tetris Party players around the world to win Wii Points™ by demonstrating their competitive Tetris skills.
Participation requires Tetris Party (now available for purchase via Nintendo’s downloadable games service: WiiWare) and separate registration.
Once inside the game, players can connect online by selecting Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection from the main menu. Then, by selecting “Tournament Deadline: 4/30” from the Tournament menu, players will automatically be placed inside head-to-head matches with other tournament participants in their region. Participants are encouraged to play and win as many matches as possible throughout the entire tournament period to increase their overall ranking.
At the end of the tournament period, players will receive a confirmation code by the game that must be submitted within 12 days after the tournament period ends.
The top 100 eligible participants from each region (North America and Europe/Oceania), based on final ranking, will each qualify to win 1200 Wii Points.
