To make a long story short, Nintendo legally owned the rights to Tetris, meaning Tengen (actually Atari Games) was breaking the law with their version of the game.
Actually, all of the Tengen NES games were breaking the law. You weren't legally allowed to sell NES games unless you were licensed to do so by Nintendo, and Tengen got around that by working around their proprietary lockout chip stuff. IIRC Nintendo even filed a lawsuit against them once they figured it out.
EyeNeedCure well, every unlicensed one. There’s 3 licensed Tengen games: PAC-MAN, Gauntlet, and R.B.I. Baseball. These all got unlicensed versions, so who cares anyways.
@@ronnieradon Which they did, of course. However, Tengen at least had the legal rights to publish their unlicensed games on console; they didn't have the rights to Tetris. It's a very long story; check out @GamingHistorian videos on both subjects.
Regardless of criticism, This theme songs brings back memories of my family sitting around all night playing tetris. I actually like this one better than the other Type A
People can enjoy Gameboy Tetris’ theme A all they want but THIS is the music I think of when I think of Tetris. This is the first version of the game I remember seeing when I was a wee lad of 8, so it’s the cue I associate with Tetris the most. Hell, Tetris itself is what I associate the sugarplum fairies theme with in general, forget cartoons like Ren & Stimpy or SpongeBob. Lol The Game Boy version did have a better title theme and it’s arrangement of Theme B IS superior though. Not gonna lie.
I agree with your comment on the title theme music for gameboy, but I'm surprised you find the type 2 music on Gameboy better, the NES version has a richer sound imo.
And it’s a banger, too! First time I’d heard it and I’ve been obsessed with playing the new Classic Score Mode with that remix ever since. Love the escalating build from 2:30 to 5:15: ua-cam.com/video/9ys3CBJvhvA/v-deo.html
Tetris songs: Normal tetris theme A: Korobeniki NES tetris theme A: Tchaikovsky's Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy Tetris 99 10 players left theme: Rimsky-Korsekov Flight of the Bumblebee
@CybeastID Fun Fact: The Legend of Zelda was originally also going to use a classical piece, but Nintendo were just too early in the song’s lifespan to use it.
I find it strange how the gameboy tetris theme is the one that stuck, and not this one. I get that this is already a pretty well known piece (tchaikovsky - dance of the sugar plum fairy iirc) but im also pretty sure the gameboy tetris theme is based on a russian folk song or something

Tengen's version came first tho
@@pikminfreak0011 I don't think it was illegal, the real illegal thing would be copying their patented lockout chip.

Getting ready for 8-bit Christmas. :-P
Kenneth Rogers Right here!
It's called 8-Bitmas!. Happy 8-Bitmas 2020!

Christmas 2021 right around the corner
Somehow, what I said four years ago was turned into a film.
This music is stuck playing in my mind every single day…
"Dance of the Tetris Fairy"
Regardless of criticism, This theme songs brings back memories of my family sitting around all night playing tetris. I actually like this one better than the other Type A
Sven Co-op. Sc_Tetris1, that's all I'll say.
@Jaxson Sawhill could’ve just said that you wanted a gameboy…
I remember this song much better than the GB one. Owned it on nes and never played the GB one til I was in like my 20s and I prefer nes

This was always my go to theme to select idk I just concentrated better for some reason

Same here
Original composition:
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky - Dance of the Sugarplum Fairies (from the Nutcracker Suite)
Tchaikovsky goes 8-bit!
"I will trap Santa in my box, like Fort Knox, and make him stop the clocks. Then we'll have Christmas all year long!"
This bring back so many amazing childhood memories
Alternate universe where this was the main tetris theme
la mejor de las 3 posibles tonadas a elegir
The Tetris Effect Connected soundtrack just added a mix of this as 1989 pt. 2; interesting that the mix of Type-A/Kalinka music wasn’t included.
And it’s a banger, too! First time I’d heard it and I’ve been obsessed with playing the new Classic Score Mode with that remix ever since.
Love the escalating build from 2:30 to 5:15: ua-cam.com/video/9ys3CBJvhvA/v-deo.html
Merry Christmas To Nintendo
I hear this, and all I can hear is my old man saying "Game of 9-5?". I'm frustrated at the memories, and lucky to have them.
Very good music!!
Another Classic song remixed in 8-bit version.
Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy by Tchaikovski.
*When You Watch The Nutcracker In 8bit*
playing on loop for cleaning my room, same stuff
Holy nostalgia
The soundtrack that plays when Josh Nichols is "SWITCHING TO HANDHELD"
El mejor de los tetris ,_(°)_,
It's pretty good that this one doesn't have the select sound in it. :D
Breakup of the USSR/Christmas in USSR (Dec. 25, 1991) colorized
An early example of young gamers being introduced to classic music
0:08 the moment when tetris got crashed and freezes but only one note keeps playing at the end:
Tetris songs:
Normal tetris theme A: Korobeniki
NES tetris theme A: Tchaikovsky's Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy
Tetris 99 10 players left theme: Rimsky-Korsekov Flight of the Bumblebee
Flight of the Sugar Plum Fairy
dance of the sugar plum fairy
Thanks for the name people, now i can find him
Someone has beaten the game that's why I'm here.
If this is the first theme, then how come the Smash remix that says that it's a remix of the first theme is a remix of a different song?
+reversalmushroom Because the Tetris Guidelines forced a change in the "A" type theme to be something different.
Gameboy version might be considered the original, and this a remix of the gameboy version.
Chris i dont know i play tetris friends and one of the game modes is Tetris Gameboy and i havent heard it
remix of sugarplum fairy
@CybeastID Fun Fact: The Legend of Zelda was originally also going to use a classical piece, but Nintendo were just too early in the song’s lifespan to use it.
0:47 my fav part
Me when decorating the Christmas tree
This is the one I liked!
Well, tell me, GBelair, have you thought of uploading the NES soundtrack to another Tetris-like game called "Hatris"?
0.75% speed is the normal tune of The Nutcracker song
*SWITCHING TO HANDHELD!*
The best Tetris theme
Plight of the tetramino

@lordallaoy Sorry but Nintendo version rules that's my opinion just saying.
This was always my go to theme to select idk I just concentrated better for some reason

Tchaikovsky approves this 8bit song

Listening to this, while I’m playing Tetris99.
The Soundtrack is just terrible!!!!
Fuck theme a, i always found this way more interesting
Thunder Cloud good ol’ sugar plum fairy. Never really that great to me, but that’s my opinion.

Boom Tetris for Joseph
When It’s Xmas
custom speed of x.65 for the sugar plum fairy theme from The Nutcracker
It's worth noting that GBelair already has the Tengen soundtrack up, if you want to give it a listen.
I didn't know the Nutcracker - Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy had a crossover with Tetris
Nutcracker
8-bit santas sneakin like no-ones business!
Doesn't This Song Sound Like "(The) Dance Of The Sugar-Plum (Fairies🧚♂️🧚♀️)"?.
I was so confused when this song was playing in Tetris Effect in the classic mode.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom, neck and neck, neck and neck, neck and neck
BOOM Tetris for Harry

Is this the sugar plum fairy ballet?
Mermaid Madness for Commodore 64 had this same music.

Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy From The Nutcracker
I wish this version of Tetris is on Nintendo Switch Online.

Sugar plum fairies
That time of year when mailmen play tetris with 200 packages a day
This is how the Funny Song got the sample.
what is the original name of the song?
Dance of the sugar plum lady
By Tchaikovsky
thanks bro
What's the name of this song?
Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy by: Piotr Ilych Tchaikovski
Stage Theme 01
I find it strange how the gameboy tetris theme is the one that stuck, and not this one. I get that this is already a pretty well known piece (tchaikovsky - dance of the sugar plum fairy iirc) but im also pretty sure the gameboy tetris theme is based on a russian folk song or something
The game boy theme is actually named “Koribeniki”
YAY!!!!! There it is!!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🎼❤️🎼❤️🎼❤️🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗
I guess you don't know the name or it doesn't have a name.
Smelly!
what is this song called?
Reminds me of one of the SpongeBob Episodes in Season 1
@@TJZOfficial I believe the episode is called "Suds"
el cascanueces la danza del hada.
How are you the only one who knows?
Merry Christmas? I think
speed x2.00
This song is also on yoshi story baby browser castle

Nes, Russian composer though
8-bit dance of the sugar plum fairy
who is here in 2024?

Tengen sucks since tengen hacked the NES lockout feature and found a way to bypass it so they could produce unofficial cartridges.
