What's that, Lassie? Tetrominos fell down a well? A three-dimensional well?!

I'd better get 3-D Tetris!

Internal Name

Like all Virtual Boy games, 3-D Tetris has an internal name near the end of the ROM at FFDE0. In this case, the name is POLYGOBLOCK, the title of the unreleased Japanese version.

Japanese Localization

This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: There are more Japanese tiles at ACCE4 and B2D10 that aren't easily arranged and may need a tilemap.

As mentioned above, a Japanese version was in the works but cancelled due to the poor reception and sales of the Virtual Boy as a whole. Still, a number of Japanese-language menu graphics are in the US ROM, although oddly some of them say "3-D Tetris" in Japanese and not "Polygo Block".

Unused Splash Graphics

T&E Soft	Nintendo

Splash screen graphics for T&E Soft (6301C) and Nintendo (6527C) are present near the title screen. In the final game, the opening credits are simply laid out in text form, as in early Tetris titles (such as the Game Boy version).
