If you happened to guess which full games and downloadable content were the top sales performers on the PlayStation Network last year, what titles would have come to mind?
If you have a Tetris-shaped whole in your 3DS library then this game will fit it perfectly. It’s a high-quality Tetris game with lots of modes, robust online play and eight player local wireless play with a single cart.

At the top of the list was the Wii U, Nintendo’s next home console and the successor to the Wii. The tablet-like controller for the Wii U has a touchscreen, dual analogue circle pads, motion controls, speakers, a microphone and a camera.

According to this report on VentureBeat, the classic, timeless block (or ‘Tetronimo’) puzzle game, Tetris, has sold over 125 million copies in the 25 years that it has been available for sale on all manner of electronic devices.

You can read the full, excellent article on Pajitnov and Rogers at VentureBeat, where they discuss their future plans for Tetris.
