Nintendo today shared a clip from the game so that players can see how this new look for Tetris performs in-game. This should give Pokémon fans something to do ahead of Pokémon Legends: Arceus launching later this month.
Legends: Arceus launches on Jan. 28 around the globe. Ahead of its launch, there will likely be more footage and news shared about the game, so fans should keep their eyes peeled.
