Tetris Splash on XBLA this Wednesday photo

Everyone's favorite puzzle game is coming to Xbox Live Arcade on Wednesday, in the form of Tetris Splash. While there's a good chance that you already own some version of the puzzler already, this new one will cost you 800 Microsoft Points and will include a few different modes and "beautiful aquatic backscapes."

Tetris Splash will offer offline multiplayer for 1-4 players as well as online multiplayer for 2-6 players. For $10, that seems to be a reasonable price, especially if you're like me and haven't played Tetris since your original Game Boy broke. But why is there no Vision Camera support?

We already know that Nick is excited for Tetris Splash, but what about the rest of you non-Tetris fanatics.

This makes that previous Tetris HD game released to retail completely obsolete. Yay.

tetris on a cell phone is the ideal app, it fulfills all my tetris wishes.

I just wish the 360 controller wasn't a POS for Tetris.

I haven't bought a copy of Tetris since Tetris (GB) and don't really see the need to do so.

Mmm. I'm a Tetris fan, but I've already got like three versions of it on various platforms. I'll wait on this one until I lose my self control (again).

I have points, so i'll probably get it unless there's something really wrong with it. Also, another game for FNF?

800 points is too much IMO but it makes the retail 360 Tetris a bargain in comparison.

Would be a definite buy if it had the silver and gold squares from Tetris on the N64.

Best. Tetris. Ever.

Ooh... this is really tempting... Tetris by itself is great, but Tetris, with achievements?

I'm gonna break down and buy it, yep most likely

$10 for fucking Tetris? After looking at other things for $10 on Live this seems too pricey.

Why no vision camera support? Because its stupid. Especially in a game like Tetris.

$10 does seem a little pricey for yet another tetris game.

Still, I'll probably get it just like I broke down and got Super Puzzle Fighter II Turbo remix HD just so I'd have another game my roommates girlfriend can kick my ass at. She is absolutely horrible on everything except puzzle games then its like she's some kind of block/puzzle game savant.

By the way, it`s gonna be US, UK and Ireland only. Why? Don`t know. The "German Major Nelson" (kind of) gave this information on his blog.

Can't say no to Tetris. I'm in even though I have the retail version (but am too lazy to swap discs just to play a quick round or two).
