To celebrate the 40th anniversary of video games' most iconic license, Nintendo Switch is offering a special collection: discover Tetris Forever this winter 2024.

Repeatedly imitated, but never equalled. Every element of this game has become famous and iconic, from its music to its recognizably shaped bricks. Tetris turns 40 in 2025! To mark this anniversary, Nintendo wanted to offer players a little journey through the decades.

The Tetris Forever collection contains some fifteen Tetris games, dating from 1985 to the present day, and featuring some titles never released outside Japan. On your consoles: Tetris Forever is due for release in winter 2024.

Trailer for Tetris Forever:

Synopsis of Tetris Forever:

" Celebrate 40 years of Tetris® with an interactive museum featuring historical games, documentary clips, an all-new game and more! Tetris® Forever will arrive this year on Nintendo Switch."

Invented by Soviet engineer Aleksei Pajitnov, Tetris quickly became a worldwide success. Since 1985, this puzzle game has seen numerous adaptations and variants on consoles and computers, and countless copies.

To celebrate this anniversary, Nintendo has chosen 15 official games from the Tetris license, including the original prototype released on Electronika 60, Super Bombliss, Super Tetris 2 + Bombliss, Tetris Battle Gaiden, Super Tetris 3... The collection also includes an original mode that should give the most experienced players a few problems: with Tetris Time Wrap, the game should regularly switch between the different eras and opuses of the license, forcing players to adapt to almost every move.

Tetris Forever also includes a multimedia library featuring video archives telling the story of the game, and introducing the key players in this saga of video game history.

Let nostalgia sweep you away in this unmissable title scheduled for late 2024.
