Am I the only one to miss Tetris from the list of games?

IIRC licensing Tetris in general is an incredibly hard process, which is why it always takes ages to get actual licensed ones on any platforms.
You should look up the history of Tetris on the NES. It's an interesting story and probably still why it can't be included here.
This article gives a nice 10,000' history. The Rights to Tetris Were Originally Owned by the Soviet Union - http://www.todayifoundout.com/index.php/2011/02/the-rights-t...
