The New Tetris was released for which Nintendo console?

The New Tetris was released for the Nintendo 64. Nintendo published the 1999 puzzle game for its cartridge-based home console, where it combined traditional line clearing with new block-building mechanics.

The game was developed by H2O Entertainment and Blue Planet Software. Its most distinctive feature was the ability to assemble four matching tetromino pieces into a 4-by-4 square block. Same-piece combinations formed valuable golden monosquares, while mixed combinations produced silver multisquares. These blocks could earn extra points when lines containing them were cleared.

The Nintendo 64 version also supported multiplayer for up to four players, displayed three upcoming pieces, and included a storage area for holding one piece. It is easy to confuse The New Tetris with Tetris 64 or Tetris Worlds, but those are separate releases. Tetris Worlds later included a ruleset based on The New Tetris under the name “Square Tetris.”
