    So in the past I've written extensively here on Tilde about the remarkable game design of TGM: you may want to read this to understand how happy I am of this basically existing. The community has been waiting for this for basically forever, and the only way to play those game until now was piracy (well: emulation) because, well, this was an arcade only game.

    So it has been out for a day, and I'm happy to report this is a pretty good port !

    So it's TGM1 only, and it has several game modes:

    1. Original: run the game as it is. You can pause and savestate.
    2. Hi-score: pausing not allowed ! Also, you can chose to begin with the instant gravity (20G) mode directly
    3. Carvan: a score attack with a 5 minutes timer.

    There are some issues that were notified to the dev (graphical corruption, issues with the seed used in the hi-score and caravan mode), but nothing prevents us to enjoy the game. Input lag is similar to emulation .Yyou get 1-2 frame less on actual PCB, but 99% of people won't notice a difference.

    Go buy it ! (E-shop, PS Store)

    Lost in the game ? Read this primer.

    The community generally flocks around this unofficial leaderboard site and discuss in its associated Discord.

    I've been away from the Tetris scene for a bit, is this also coming to other systems, like Xbox, PS5 and maybe PC? I'm stoked, and it may be a reason to blow the dust off my Switch before BOTW2 comes.

      Only PS4 and Switch I'm afraid. However I wouldn't be surprised if: This is TGM1 only It's testing waters for TGM2 and 3 (... and 4 ?)
