In an interview withSiliconera,Hudsonhad this to say when asked about any new features in its upcoming version ofTetrisfor WiiWare: It features a number of new rules and items. Currently, we’re tossing around the idea of using the [WiiFit] Balance Board. The game also supports 6-player WiFi battle.
