I mean, as much as I'm enjoying the game, the service itself is still pretty shit xD
Are the NES games on Switch "free to play"? They have the exact same barrier to entry.
How was this not called Tetris Royale?
Also Ive only played twice and I need to win SO BADLY.
Seems a bit too unbalanced with the "random" stuff huh? Oh well, still gonna keep at it

Hell yeah, just won a match. Faith in my gamer skillz restored after getting embarassed by Mario + Rabbids yesterday.
Now get these guys to make Panel de Pon 99, Nintendo...

Are you actually getting 4 repeated pieces or blowing off steam because that should be literally impossible with the random bag system. You can never get more than 2 tetrominoes in a row repeated or it isn't guideline compliant.
They need to make it so you can map hard drop to ZL or ZR. I can't tell you how many times I hard dropped a piece in the wrong spot cause of the pro controller.
Thanks, I appreciate the honesty. I'll mull it over for a bit.
I would honestly say you should see if you can split a family plan with a friend or two. Me and my buds split it eight ways so we pay a pittance.
Played two matches thus far, 12th...then 97th. I got targeted by like a million zillion people. Fantastic take on BR and it makes me curious if Nintendo will do any more "Brand 99" games for NSO
Yeah, I'm in disbelief. All we get is fucking multiplayer tetris for the unbelievable asking price of $20? No thanks. I'm going to pretend I'm playing Smash online with some friends instead.
Its not free to play its a game you can play if you have Switch online. Its like the NES games
Oddly enough, it's not placed in the "software for members" section under the NSO tab in the eshop. Wonder if that's an oversight or not.
So I feel like I've played a decent amount of Tetris across various platforms in my years...but apparently I'm a fucking casual because I have no idea what a T Spin even is
Uhhh. What year are we in again?
Wonder if this means it'll hit Vita too.
I would have paid 20 bucks just for the game. So now I get save backups (should be free) and a bunch of stupid old games in addition to the game. In other words this game actually made that lousy online service worth the price of admission.
it would be cool if the did it with classic games for their online service
do bomberman 99 you cowards
wow this is real. apparently it's already live in certain regions; can anybody on ERA confirm being able to get it, and if it costs money on PSP? the PlayStation Store site doesn't show it in North America yet.
So 'Tetris 99' has entered in the popular categories tag of Twitch with 14.5K viewers.
To see a puzzle game appearing among all of these violent games, really explains what's the philosophy of Nintendo, trying to reach success by always doing its own thing, and by not giving a shit about the established conventions in the market.
The Battle Royale concept is popular:
EA: Let's produce a new battle royale game, with the defining feature of BIGGER production values!
NIntendo: Let's produce Battle Royale Tetris, because why not?

Let's not forget they will keep trying to push the service to more people so more games like this will eventually come.
It's not.
They claimed 5 million played in 2 hours and they might bring it to other consoles.
This encapsulates perfectly the Nintendo online multiplayer mantra that make me love Splatoon so much: fail miserably against the world, have immense fun while doing it.
