V-Tetris

is a 1995 puzzle video game developed by Locomotive and published by Bullet-Proof Software in Japan for the Virtual Boy. Its gameplay involves the player clearing horizontal lines by moving pieces of different shapes that descend onto the playing field by filling empty spaces in order to make completed lines disappear and gain points across three modes of play. It is the first of two Tetris games released for the Virtual Boy, followed by 3D Tetris in 1996.

Designed by Toshiaki Kamiya and headed by Takehiro Moriyama, V-Tetris was developed under supervision of Bullet-Proof Software by staff at Locomotive Corporation who would later work on both Virtual Fishing and SD Gundam Dimension War, with the team wanting the game to feel fresh and new with its additional content while keeping the familiarity of the original Tetris. BPS felt that producing a Tetris game for the Virtual Boy would appeal to a wider audience and wanted to keep the game's simplicity to respect the original's legacy. Gameplay was altered to make use of the system's 3D hardware capabilities to create a sense of depth. It was intended to be released as a launch title and feature support for the then-upcoming Link Cable peripheral, which was never released due to the console's short lifespan. V-Tetris was met with mixed reception from critics.
