The New Tetris is a puzzle video game for the Nintendo 64. The game was developed by H2O Entertainment and published by Nintendo, based on the Tetris series. It was originally released on August 2, 1999, in North America.
The game showcases scenic fly-bys of structures, such as the Sphinx, the Pantheon, Saint Basil's Cathedral, a Mayan temple, and others, rendered in real-time. Achieving this level of quality is relatively challenging for the Nintendo 64 hardware. The New Tetris features a multiplayer mode with up to four players and an electronic dance music soundtrack by Neil Voss, who also composed the award-winning music for Tetrisphere.
