If you are a true fan of Tetris, we are convinced that you will like this new TETRIS mini . It is a small keychain that will allow you to play the classic from 1984. A video game that today continues to hook millions of users and that is perfect for those waiting times where you don’t know what to do. Especially if you are away from home.
TETRIS mini, a keychain for Tetris fans
As you can imagine only from the name, although the images will have given you away before, TETRIS mini is a small device that allows you to play one of the most popular and classic video games that exist: Tetris. Besides being one of the most popular for all those who once had a Game Boy or today enjoy laptops to play emulators of all kinds.
And yes, when we have said that it is small it is because it really is. So much so that it does not exceed the size of many key rings. It measures exactly 43 x 15 x 60mm. This is interesting from a mobility point of view. You can carry it hanging in a backpack, bag or directly in your pocket and have a leisure option available at all times.
The less positive part of its small size is that the LCD screen where you will play will also be small, only 28 x 37 mm. Although it is not a big problem for a title with these characteristics either.
Regarding the controls of the small device, these offer three buttons to control the fall of the pieces , two to take them to the left or right and one to accelerate their fall. Then there is a button much larger in dimensions for the rotation of the pieces and that at the same time acts as the Start button when we select the game mode.
These game modes , because it includes several, are:
- Marathon: where you could play until you reach a score of 99990
- 20 lines mode: in this you have to clean 20 lines
- Ultra mode: you have two minutes to get as many lines as possible.
The rest of the buttons are the classic ones that allow you to activate or not the sound, restart the game or put the game on pause. The latter is important if you want to play while waiting for urban transport. So you neither lose it nor lose your progression in it.
Available in six different colors (transparent black, transparent pink, transparent blue, transparent white, gray and yellow), the small device incorporates a battery that is recharged through a simple microUSB cable.
TETRIS mini, price and availability
If you are reading these lines it is because you liked this little device that would allow you to play Tetris anywhere. Unfortunately, there is currently no information that it will be sold outside of Japan .
In the country of the rising sun it will have a price of 1,500 yen, which in exchange would be about 15 euros more or less . Although the same, with a bit of luck there is an online seller that ships internationally.
So, starting next October 8, you can see whether or not you can get one. And by the way, this device has an official license, so it is not one of those versions or imitations that have been around for years.
