NES Tetris to Launch on Nintendo Switch Online for the First Time

The 1989 classic will join the platform's retro game library on December 12, marking its official re-release after 35 years.

The NES version of Tetris will be added to Nintendo Switch Online's NES library on December 12, 2024, as part of the subscription service.
This marks the first official re-release of the 1989 home console version, which has never been available on modern platforms until now.
The NES Tetris is notable for its competitive legacy, serving as the standard for the Classic Tetris World Championship since 2010.
The game features two modes: A-Type, focused on high scores, and B-Type, which includes Nintendo character cameos like Mario and Samus.
A standard Nintendo Switch Online subscription provides access to NES games, while an Expansion Pack is required for additional console libraries.
