Seems to work in all versions of the game, but seeing the requirements I guess it's not that surprising how it wasn't widely known about. Love secrets like this though!

I'll have to try this out. Love Tetris Effect Connected even though I'm still stuck on the last level... on easy, lol
Hahahaa same thing happened to me. I played from 11pm until 4am but finally beat it. Already beat it in Standard difficulty, too. Now, on Expert is almost impossible.
I'm so glad the Tetris company got over only licensing Tetris to one company at a time.
Me: "Huh. This theme is kinda hard on the eyes..."
*clears 100 lines*
Me: "And now I'm blind."
Wonder what other codes work. No way they did this for just one level.

I think they did, because once you enter the code for the 1984 stage, you can't bring up the code entry screen again.
Holy shit you gave me memories seeing this! Always love when I see CD-I stuff, it felt like I was the only kid in my city that had one.
This has been known for a very long time I think. I know that I've activated the 1984 mode this way more than a year ago I think.
Lol it's not easy. Took me a couple hours of trying. Good thing I loved the track playing on that level.
You can unlock the 1984 Tetris in Puyo Puyo Tetris on the Switch as well?
Including Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 on the Switch?
For real, I been waiting for it to hit steam to purchase. I doubt its gonna happen by now sadly.
I was able to enter the code screen again afterwards on PC GamePass
Tetris Effect is good enough that I recommend it to friends who normally wouldn't engage with something like it. Gonna have to to try this later.
Speaking of Tetris licensing, the Majesco Tetris with the little professor guy you had to build around is probably my personal favorite for nostalgia reasons.

Ugh, I want to play the 1989 Gameboy level but I'm only Lvl 17 so it's going to take aaaaaaaaaaages
Ran and did this immediately! The level is pretty cool. It's one of those levels that spends too long in a kind of early boring state and not enough in the late-level vibing state, but when it gets there it's really good. Very cool effects on the blocks.
It's not known what happened but last year Ubisoft (and maybe someone else?) announced a Star Wars game. EA is still making games but not exclusively anymore. The studio behind The Division is making something now.
Oh, then i stand corrected, it was so dumb making it exclusive in the first place
Agreed. I do think EA has turned it around some but I'm stoked more companies will be handling the franchise as well.
Supposedly it unlocked automatically after June 6th, 2019, but this was patched out later that year for players who hadn't already gotten it. On the PS4 at least you could get around that with an unpatched 1.0 copy from a retail disc, then a few months later people figured out the "Konami code" method. It's weird to me that this is apparently the only official way of unlocking it now, you'd think they would've patched in a way to earn it à la the 1989 mode.
This game really has had a ridiculous string of exclusivity deals. It probably made its money back from the deals alone.
November 2018: PS4 exclusive release
July 2019: Epic Store exclusive PC release
November 2020: Xbox and Microsoft Store PC release along with an exclusive multiplayer update, screwing over people who bought the game earlier on PS4 and Epic Store
Summer 2021: Multiplayer update comes to PS4 and Epic Store PC version, and the game gets a Steam release. Finally, all the exclusivity is gone!
Steam version is wishlist-able - https://store.steampowered.com/app/1003590/Tetris_Effect_Connected/
I wish this game was more epilepsy safe, but I guess the flashing visuals are sort of the point. I love Tetris and Lumines, so was looking forward to trying this when it came to Game Pass... but then I fired it up and *immediately* knew that the visuals would be a problem for me.
