Development
Tetris Forever was developed by Digital Eclipse, who had developed similar interactive documentaries in the past. It was first announced during a Nintendo Direct stream on August 27, 2024; while the collection excludes games developed by Nintendo, their NES version was revealed to be heading to Nintendo Switch Online in the same announcement. In October, Digital Eclipse revealed that the MS-DOS versions of Tetris by AcademySoft and Spectrum HoloByte would be included in the release. Chris Kohler, the game's editorial director, said these additions involved "a lot of work went into being able to make this simple announcement." Additional games are planned for inclusion via free updates, beginning with the MS-DOS version of Welltris in December 2024.
