Care to show me which notes are wrong?  To be clear, I said deviations in his arrangements were creative license, not that he had wrong notes in his arrangements.

Mathew Valente (TSSF) did the music, and he was one of the greatest video game music remixers before remixing became popular (i.e. pre-MP3 days).  He covered the whole soundtrack, though they only released three tracks on the official site before the project was shut down.  Any deviations from the original would have been his creative license, not mistakes, and most did not use acoustic guitar.

Basic intervals of the melody, from what I remember, along with apparently playing every piece on acoustic guitar.

I don't think we're talking about the same remake.

Also, the guy that was doing the music couldn't even learn the original music correctly.

What did he mess up?

It's a port.  S-E announced it for North America this morning.

...since when were a winged and unwinged creature considered separate characters? Are they really that desperate to fill up spaces?

I take it you didn't play the first game.

THQ was just the publisher of Rare games on GBA after Microsoft bought them.

There was a time when The Tetris Company was talking about having their standard set of rules but allowing players to choose their own rules.  I haven't heard anything come of this, but maybe we'll see something in Hudson's upcoming Tetris on WiiWare.

Ahh yeah, Tetris DS.  I maxed out the score counter.  What a waste of time.

Not necessarily.  I did the first 120 in two days.

Anyway, as proof by example, here's a clip from Nov. 5th, which is TWO WEEKS earlier than when MushroomJunkie would have found it.

This info was definitely on the internet before the game came out.  I, for one, was one of Luigison's individuals with an advance review copy, and the info was out even before I had my copy.

It looks like Band Bros. DX may essentially include all of Jam Sessions' features along with all its other stuff.
