'Tetris Forever' brings classic 'Tetris' titles in this docu-game bundle

If you want to learn more about the history of Tetris while playing a few rounds of Tetris, you'd want to check out Tetris Forever. This newest documentary/game bundle from Digital Eclipse was announced at the Nintendo Direct event. Of course, it will be coming to the Nintendo Switch but it's also coming to the PC and other platforms later this year.

Tetris Forever gives you an interactive digital museum, complete with documentary clips about the game, and actual games you can play. This title includes 15 Tetris games, from an "accurate" version of the first Tetris for the Electronika 60 to an NES version, and more. There is also a new take called Tetris Time Warp, where you can jump "between gameplay styles from across the series" in real time as you compete against up to four players. There is no specific release date or pricing yet. But it's expected to come out this year.
