Key ring type portable game machine acquires official license and revives! "Tetris Mini" release decision!

Product

The year is 1996! The keychain-type portable video game console was booming at an unprecedented rate!
Many were released with a variety of games, such as a falling puzzle game very similar to Tetris and a simple racing game where you had to avoid dots.
I wonder how many keychain-type portable game consoles were confiscated in the staff room of elementary schools.
Some of them claimed to contain 55 games, but I have fond memories of feeling cheated because 10 of them contained only different game speeds.
It is 2020, 24 years after the boom. The keychain portable game console is back! The "Tetris Mini" is now on sale!


Officially licensed Tetris!

At the time, the keychain-type handheld game console contained very gray-area puzzles, but "Tetris Mini" is an official product of "The Tetris Company" with an official license!
Since it is an official product, we can proudly call it "Tetris Mini " instead of using a strange name.
And it contains only "Tetris" games ! It's cool that they focused on just one Tetris game, rather than including a bunch of games that we don't really understand!

The size of the device is 6 cm (H) x 4.3 cm (W), which is the size of a keychain, but it is a little larger and easier to operate, and the screen is easy to read.
As is typical of a keychain-type portable game console, it can be hung from a bag or other object for key bouldering.

There are a total of six color variations: "clear black," "clear pink," "clear," "gray," "clear blue," and "yellow.

The clear color is a good choice for the time, but the "gray" coloring is the best!

Every time you erase 10 lines, the level increases and the speed of falling increases, up to 10 levels faster.
The lowest score is 10 points for a single level, and the highest score is 120 points for a T-Spin double level, so you can play all the way up to a score of 99990, until the game is practically over.

In this mode, the time is counted when you start the game, and the game is cleared when you erase 20 lines.
It will be fun to compete with your friends to see how many seconds you can clear the game!
