A bit of context: when Tetris is mentioned, most likely, it's either gonna be the official Game Boy or NES release that comes up first (especially the latter these days). Sometimes the unlicensed Tengen version comes up, but often hiding in the shadows is a third version, coming out exclusively on the Famicom and before both Tengen and Nintendo's versions hit the scene.
I don't see it being talked about very much, so I made something about it, taking a look at the game itself as well as its significance as the first home console port...and why it wasn't supposed to be a thing.

rotated the piece to the left and with A the piece falls and also that this game unintentionally introduced the Big Drop mechanic before the release of The New Tetris (1999, N64) which popularized it simply by pressing 
to drop a piece at once. Although Tetris (1989. MD) was also introduced by the Big Drop (Hard Drop) mechanic well.
