There's actually a planned PS2 port for Tetris The Grand Master 2, but never went released. Man, if it's released it might be the best PS2 tetris game ever besides Tetris Worlds.
I don't see a release of TGM3 happening, sadly. The ZN2 and SH2 cabs used for TGM+TAP are fairly simple, bespoke arcade systems, but the Taito Type X used for TGM3 is just a Windows PC with JAMMA connectors. An eShop release like this would require the Switch (an ARM tablet SoC from 2013, no PC virtualization tricks possible) to *emulate* a Pentium 4 AND a DirectX 9 GPU, complete with licenses for firmware and drivers and Windows XP, at full speed, with playable input delay. High end PCs are only recently managing a Pentium II, via software like 86box. It's just not possible. A direct port would be feasible, but require a pretty expensive amount of work compared to an emulator like this (which can be reused for other games on the same hardware). They might as well just make a new game at that point...
If they still have the source code, it could be a simple source port, also, there's no need to go heavyweight on the emulation, they could do something more high level like wine or whatever valve uses to make porting games to the Steam Deck easier.
@@gcolombelli "Something like WINE" is the result of 30 years of work by hundreds of volunteers and multiple large companies, and it still requires an x86_64 host. Any similar solution for ARM needs hardware the Switch doesn't have. jp companies of this era had a habit of not keeping source code around, but that would be the only option.
great question! this stuff i'd definitely recommend first trying out some of the marathon modes aka the master modes in Cambridge to get a sense of how a normal game would feel, then move up to the survival modes aka the death-like ones. it is defintely going to take a lot of practice (hell i can barely get past 200 levels). definitely check out the servers linked below to help you out. best of luck, you absolutely got this!!
if they were to change the speed back to normal there would be several different problems for people without monitors that support refresh rates higher than 60Hz 😭
8:46 I found this video in 2008-2009 under a name "Fastest Tetris Player Yamota Kazake". Is it a real japanese name? If I google each part of the name individually, I get no results
With Tetris 99 & Tetris Effect there is no reason to buy anything else, especially if you want online multiplayer. Puyo 2 is almost dead which too bad and this TGM.... still don't know why I should buy it.
alright you need to apologize for dissing endless ocean. apology video with real tears because you not only disrespected EO you disrespected ARIKA's EverBlue series too
Imagine going this entire video without mentioning that famous video of the guy playing some arcade game of Tetris where he is doing it while it's invisible.
Every time I think I'm good at tetris being able to get to level 19 in the Game boy version and clearing merathon mode in games like tetris ds or Tetris efect I just have ti watch one of these videos to realize how scrib I am. No ive not beaten Nyet III but I can say it runs on a Steam Deck so thats good.
Hey, awesome video! It's interesting to see Tetris stuff that's not about the Game Boy/NES one! I loved the music as well, though I do have questions: is Windows96 referring to the music artist named that, or the operating system website? Both come up when I search for it. Also, what's Home?
2:30 the orange and green lines are actually based on how many lines cleared Orange is awarded at 32 lines during the M-Roll, Green otherwise Whether you finish the M-Roll or not determines your grade: Master for failing the M-Roll, Grand Master for finishing it. Orange GMs ARE ranked above Green GMs though. This is true for both versions of TGM2. The fading roll DOES depend on whether it's cleared or not though.
