Tetris for the NES has been generating headlines all year thanks to the explosion of interest when 13-year-old Willis 'Blue Scuti' Gibson became the first person to 'beat' the game.

Now, Nintendo's giving you the opportunity to test your own skills with this version of the game, as it's just about to land in the Nintendo Switch Online classic game library.

Tetris officially launches into the Nintendo Switch Online NES library on December 12, Nintendo confirmed this week. This is one of the earliest versions of the game, and the first to be published by Nintendo on a home console.

Thanks to its robust esports scene, it remains one of the most notable Tetris variants to this day, and many players simply refer to it as "classic Tetris." If you've seen headlines over the past year about all sorts of wild-sounding Tetris accomplishments, those have all been about this version of the game.

Classic Tetris was meant to get so fast that it would be impossible to continue playing past level 29, but players eventually developed techniques to hit the buttons fast enough to make it far deeper into the game.
