Ehy, I spent too many hours on Tetris as a kid. I wonder how my skills compare to the rest of the world.

Spoiler

Arika is the developer on this one.

Yeah TGM is my favorite Tetris. This versions should be at least well made if they're the ones doing it. I'm curious if there's any variations to the guidelines or if it's following that.

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

I finally have a reason to pay for online.

 

[Lord Arcadio]

Downloading now!!!

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

I'm in for this


How did they not call this Tetris Battle Royale lol

 

[JediMPG]

Move over Apex Legends, there's a new King in town!

 

[Spinluck]

This is incredible lol.

 

[Xater]

It seems like everyone is getting an exclusive Tetris except Xbox. 🤣 What is going on?

 

[Infinity Times Two]

This is hilarious. I'm so in, especially at free.

 

[Doorakz]

Honestly.... I was excited for a potential 1vs100 revival, but whew, this is awesome too. So excited to compete against you all.

 

[bytesized]

Got 56 on my first game. It its amazing, plays perfectly. This is going to be the best puzzle game on the switch, I think.

 

[Laserbeam]

shit, just picked Puyo puyo tetris back up yesterday.

Guess I'm all in on Tetris baaaaaaaaaaby!

 

[DanteLinkX]

Why 99 and not 100 tho? Lol

They are making 100 the sequel.

 

[Lord Arcadio]

#9 first game.

 

[Bundy]

This was a nice suprise. It looks fantastic!

 

[Kapryov]

I would try this but I'm pretty sure I'll be one of the first to die.
I suck at Tetris.

Maybe switch pro can handle 100.

 

[boris_feinbrand]

Okay, I was dragging Nintendo over their special offers before, but this is very compelling shit.

 

[Ze_Shoopuf]

Apex is dooooooomed.

well Apex had a good run.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

11th first game

[bytesized]

Why the eurotechno music though. Kind of hilarious actually.

 

[?oe?oe]

Got 5th first match!

 

[KrillinLikeAVillan]

This sounds buckwild, i am so in.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Downloading now

 

[Wombat_Lover]

Good to know Akira is still working with Nintendo.

 

[SoH]

Came in 9th on my first go. I'll take it. I like that it doesn't dump you out and you can see the final show down.

And I guess it shows you who you K.O.ed? That's cool

 

[Ferrio]

Where we droppin boys?

 

[ladyluthien]

Downloading this now. It's going to take me a while though since FFIX is downloading first.

 

[TheChrisGlass]

is this real tetris or filth tainted by the t-spin?

Click to shrink...

That is a mandated design enforced by the Tetris Company for their games to include.

 

[PepperedHam]

Forgive me if this is a part of VS Tetris but what do those little quick menu things on your screen do? Determine where your piece is going? There isn't any explanation of it in game so I am confused.

 

[Epilexia]

Why 99 and not 100 tho? Lol

Click to shrink...

Because they were trying to create a cool name for the Sega fanboys like me.

IT'S THINKING!

 

[Arc]

Bullshit that this is for NSO members only. What happened to Free to Play games not requiring paid subscriptions? Why does Fortnite not need a sub but this does? I'm out.

 

[Tregard]

TETRIS 99 |OT| Where We Dropping?

 

[Deleted member 2254]

Fun game, but a reminder that the Joy-Con D-pad is the worst.

 

[IronicSonic]

I'm bottom tier Tetris player but Im in lol. Are there any trial for NSO though

[Jonnykong]

This is great! I somehow managed to come 8th and normally I'm BAD at Tetris.

 

[Yukinari]

Im not even gonna act ironic or make a battle royale joke or anything.

I hate this. I genuinely hate this genre and its existence. Im sure the game is fun but jesus christ.

 

[Bloodbathnbyond]

This is awesome. My only complaint is not being able to turn off the cheesy techno.

 

[Dimitris81]

Only for online subscribers? Fuck

 

[lt519]

This is amazing, can't wait to download it.

 

[Jawmuncher]

BEST ANNOUNCMENT

It's a very fun version of VS Tetris, it has nothing in common with a battle royale game besides its player count, relax yourself everything is going to be fine.

 

[Het_Nkik]

Bullshit that this is for NSO members only. What happened to Free to Play games not requiring paid subscriptions? Why does Fortnite not need a sub but this does? I'm out.

Click to shrink...

Because it's Nintendo literally making a game (published by Nintendo, developed by Arika) to give people incentive to get an NSO subscription.

 

[RobotHaus]

Got 5th first match!

Click to shrink...

Same. It's fun and stressful, just how I like it.

I don't like the random notifications popping up in the middle of the screen.
