Talk:Tetris DS

Payment
Hello,

Do we know if Alexei Pajitnov will be paid on Tetris DS sales? I think he's got back the tetris license since 1996 and I was wondering about how nintendo will pay him with this forthcoming DS version.

Anyone knows?
 * alexey holds half the rights to tetris, with henk and his company, blue planet software, holding the other half. they license the game through the tetris company. nintendo will of course have to pay the rights holders for using their tetris license.
 * I don't think Nintendo pays Alexey, rather Nintendo would probably pay whoever is Alexeys "agent" for the Tetris rights, if you know what I mean. Like a license, I doubt Alexey deals with the business side of things himeself, although I am sure Nintendo showed the game to him just for the fuck of it JayKeaton 15:46, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Hoax?
Are these 'Namco Backdrops' a hoax or not? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 58.169.87.14 (talk • contribs).

Yes, they are. Allyourbasearebelongtousomg 04:52, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Gaming wiki
A lot of the recently added information is not suitable for Wikipedia, but instead a gaming wiki. Remember that Wikipedia is not an instruction manual. Keep those tags until the information is moved to a gaming wiki or deleted from here. Thanks. -- ReyBrujo 18:24, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Release Dates
Was there an actual difference between the Canadian and US release date? I live in Toronto and I got it on the 20th, whereas someout I know in remote towns were getting it a few days afterwards. I hope that people are not confusing the ship date, the release date and the arrival date at the store.--AlphaTwo 20:03, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Background Music Paragraph Incorrect

 * All of the backdrops each have their own background music, with the exception of backdrops from levels 16 through 19. These backdrops share a song called "Rushed Tetris". -- Standard Mode section, paragraph 3

Not all but the "Rushed Tetris" background Music is unique to a particular level in Standard Mode. The tracks are as follows: (Note I am not positive about the track titles, as I have not played the game in some time.)

This may be verified by inspecting the Sound Test options menu after completing all levels in Standard Mode.

"Infinite Spin" removed in multiplayer?
This article mentions the "infinite spin" trick that can be performed in standard mode -- Should it be noted that in multiplayer matches, the pieces will lock down after a short time, regardless of whether the player is attempting to spin them or not? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.57.54.195 (talk) 05:02, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Misleading
Edited the topmost section to say that it supports two or four player battle modes instead of "up to four", as it does not support three player matches online.24.86.144.101 (talk) 05:16, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Cool, thanks! -- ReyBrujo (talk) 06:28, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Flash game for puzzle mode
Around the time of Tetris DS's launch, Nintendo made a flash version of the puzzle mode with only 5 levels. I know that it's pretty minor but I still think it's worth mentioning. JH2006 (talk) 16:42, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
