Publisher Hudson Soft announced today the development of Tetris Online for WiiWare. Namco Bandai also announced two WiiWare games of its own: Mojipittan and Wii Bubble Wrap. Beyond the classic Tetris gameplay, players of Tetris Online will use the Wii Remote to "shake", "point" and "use items". The game will support Mii usage and online play over Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, along with unrevealed additional content.
