The coolest thing about it, besides the feeling of the wave moving past you, is after a few rooms you could tell how close the wave was getting by feel alone and could make choices on far to move based on that

idk, the time you put into setting up combo rushes or b2bs is time not spent harassing the puyo player

t-spins setups are the meat of skilled Tetris play anyways

All my knowledge predates advanced techniques like t-spins. :( Last innovation I remember was up for hard-drop.

Man, Puyo Puyo Tetris is kinda bullshit. It feels like the Puyo player can set up combos and the Tetris player doesn't stand a chance. By the time you've set up a couple of 4-line clears, you've been hit with like ten garbage rows and you can't recover.

This is what I'm saying. I think the tetris player needs to play differently against a puyo player, more chains/b2bs to prevent poo poo from stacking up on them.

So there's t-spins, z-spins, and what else?

Edit: Is it possible to play the Switch without ever hooking it up to a TV? I may have to go back into hospital and want to double check there isn't some requirement like that.

Entirely possible. I've played on my TV maybe twice? It's purely an output method.

You can perform twists with every piece; one of the modes in the full game (Big Bang) eventually becomes alllllll about twists

The only one that gets you an in-game notification and a damage bonus is the T-spin, though.

Just realised Tetris with the Switch screen rotated 90 degrees in portable mode would be incredible.

The pendulum of the mind alternates between sense and nonsense
You guys need to stop encouraging Nintendo to just resell old games, they're already doing it.

You're begging for VC, you want a vertical stand for Tetris, Street Fighter 2 is a major release. The Wii U had all new games on it and nobody bought it. If you keep this up they're going to cash in and we'll all play Tetris forever.

TGM exists outside of the bounds of The Tetris Company so no

Classic Gameboy endurance/marathon is in this game, though, along with the other modern solo modes like 40Line

If there isn't a Switch Monster Hunter announcement at E3 I'm going to be pretty pissed.

They have to be working on Monster Hunter (and Pokemon) for the Switch. Putting those two series on the console means demand for it would stay high for the next year or more solely on the strength of those titles. All they have to do is hint at either, or both, while giving details to get people hyped on Mario and a couple other titles to ensure the Switch stays hard to find for the rest of the year.

I stopped doing victory laps when I realized you transform into The Lost after the third or fourth one. I haven't yet come across a build THAT broken necessary to clear an entire run without getting hit once.

Brimstone + that garbage item that keeps doubling the flies you have + double charge + quick charge

I had like 40 luck, 80 base damage, plus pretty much all the transformations by my 4th round. Smelted a bunch of the good trinkets as well.
Every room would just spawn bags and I had a bumbo and double items and you'd just be swamped with items.
Wish the donation machine was infinite because I would have easily surpassed 2000+ coins

Started losing the fun stuff on the 5th run through.
6 run I lose Brimestone and I've got like 7 base damage now and I've stopped caring.
