I noticed the splash screen has a copyright for "any characters, sounds, and video games originally owned by Nintendo", so I guess we can expect some of the upcoming special events to involve Nintendo IP.

I get 23rd every single time.

Still don't really understand what to do with the battle element of this game. I'm just playing tetris.

I'm legit loving this Tetris.

But I wish it had a tutorial. What does attacking modes KOs and Badges mean at the top?

I've never played a battle royale game before, but got this looks amazing (and intense!)

I'm definitively getting it. I better get used to losing though, I suck at Tetris.

I remember there was a Tetris game with co-op and/or online play that the old Beyond guys used to really like, so unless this is a meme this could be really cool.

Granted I have exactly zero percent interest in this, but hey if there's a market for this then awesome.

This is way more fun than I thought it was going to be. I got 7th place once. I need to hurry up and try to win before all the noobs get bored of it because I don't think I'll ever be able to win when it's nothing but Tetris veterans.

Wow, the entitlement.

God forbid Nintendo add a compelling reason to get their online service.

If it makes you feel better, maybe just pretend the game is 20 dollars and you get a bunch of NES games and cloud saves with it for free.
Game is worth the price of online imo
It's not a free to play game, it's included with the online subscription.

Whatever mental gymnastics you guys want to use is besides the point, which is Nintendo being inconsistent with their value proposition and throwing shit at the wall.

Game's amazing. First match, got 8th place, just because I set myself for failure probably. Finally a battle royale I can compete in! BRING IT ON

It's also legit Tetris anyway, you can play by yourself and ignore the battle stuff. Nice!

I assume KOs means attacking people close to death. No idea about badges, unless there's unlockable badges?

I think for each KO you get, you get a badge. So targeting the person with the most badges is targeting the person with the most KOs. Don't quote me on that, but that's what it looked like when I hung around to spec a game I lost once.

I don't think it's us performing mental gymnastics in this case...

This is fucking insane. How are you supposed to keep track of everyone playing tetris and deciding who to attack. This is nuts.

I love it.

>doesn't pay for an NSO sub because it's not a good value proposition
>gets upset when Nintendo adds a high-quality exclusive game to increase NSO's value proposition

I love it.

As far as I can tell, you just single player it hard in the early phase to survive the initial cull until the number of opponents left is reduced to an amount where you can start being strategic.

It's beyond my capabilities at this stage.

Is this developed by Nintendo? That would make it the first Tetris game since Tetris DS to developed by them if that's the case.

Nintendo published, Arika developed.

As in, THE Tetris dev to end all Tetris devs in the modern era. (Arika was responsible for all of the arcade Grand Master games, plus Nintendo's more recent Dr. Mario games.)

WHAT!! This is huge. Do we know if Mihara worked on development? It warms my heart to know Arika is still working on Tetris.

The game is using modern Tetris rules right? SRS and all the like?

Yeah, I've never been one to point out the weak dpad of the pro controller, but I had to stop using it. I ended up switching the xbox elite controller with the mayflash adapter.
