Tetris 99,which launched exclusively on Nintendo Switch in February 2019, takes the frantic wall-destroying gameplay that is the series’ trademark and marries it to the battle royale format, with 100 players battling it out to be the last… umm… block standing. Previous Maximus Cup events have featured famous video game franchises such asSplatoon, Sonic the Hedgehog, WarioWare,Super Mario Bros.Kirby, andFire Emblem.Metroid, clearly, is among fine company.
Tetris 99is available to download now on Nintendo Switch. You can check out Chris Carter’sMetroid Dreadreview here.
