"From the very first seconds"
Gathering two puzzle pillars on a single cartridge, with a mixed mode that chains both: a clever, generous compilation. On one side the hypnotic slotting of Tetris, on the other the viruses to wipe out in Dr. Mario, all doubled with a snappy versus. Crystal clear to grasp, sly to master, two addictive classics ideal to pull out solo or two-player.
Addictiveness
"Obsessive"
Bringing together two pillars of the puzzle genre on one cartridge lets you switch between nervy stacking and virus hunting as the mood takes you. Beating your score, varying the mode or challenging a friend restarts the game without a moment's pause. With no real novelty, this duo of classics keeps an immediate and near-endless hook.
Is Tetris & Dr. Mario still worth playing in 2026?
A Nintendo compilation bringing together two puzzle pillars, Tetris and Dr. Mario, with a fresh versus mode that links the two games. The mechanics stay intact and fiercely effective, the falling pieces of Tetris as much as the virus matching of Dr. Mario. The mixed mode and multiplayer guarantee timeless two player fun. The production is plain but the essentials are there. An excellent buy for fans of classic puzzles and of two player game nights.
