Nintendo is hosting another online Grand Prix event for its ludicrously compelling block-dropping Battle Royale game Tetris 99 next week, and there's a nifty Game Boy theme as a prize for all that do well enough.
Hill climb racing 2 online. Tetris 99's third official Grand Prix, which kicks off at 8am on Friday 17th May and comes to a close at 7:59am on Monday 20th May, is an online-only event, and requires a subscription to Nintendo's Switch Online service in order to participate.
Once again, points are awarded to players depending how high they manage to place during a match, with 100 points going to anyone that comes top. Assuming Nintendo is using the same scoring system as in previous events, 2nd place earns 50 points, 3rd gets 30 points, 4th-10th gets 20 points, 11th-30th gets 10 points, 31st-50th gets five points, and 51st-80th place gets two points. Come any lower and you score nowt.
Tetris 99 Themes in Physicial Edition I'm planning on purchasing the upcoming physical edition of Tetris 99 with the 12 month Nintendo Switch Online Subscription. My only concern is that since I have never played this game before, will I be able to retrieve the previous Gameboy and Splatoon 2 themes? Warspear forum. Tetris 99 is an online multiplayer Tetris game for the Nintendo Switch console developed by ARIKA and released on February 13th, 2019. The game pits 99 players against each other, with the online match continuing until all but one players lose.
Although participants' final placement at the end of the Grand Prix event doesn't offer more than bragging rights, Nintendo has previously entered players that score over 100 points into a draw to win 999 My Nintendo Gold Points.
Things will be a little different for its third Tetris 99 Grand Prix, however, and anyone that manages to amass 100 points or more by the time the competition closes will be granted a rather nifty Game Boy Tetris theme to be used in-game, in celebration of the block-dropper's 35th anniversary on June 6th.
It's been a bit of a busy day for Tetris 99, all told. Earlier, Nintendo announced that it would be releasing an offline version of the previously online-only Battle Royale experience as paid DLC.
