Reminder: The Pokémon Sword And Shield Maximus Cup Is Now Live In Tetris 99

Nice! I had a feeling this was coming. I’m so sad that I missed the Luigi’s Mansion theme. I was out with buds and got home just in time to acquire....85 points. So sad. I wonder if they’ll ever allow a redo for any special themes.

This game is so addictive. I don't play it as much when I've unlocked everything, but as soon as they add something I'm totally back into it! Amazing Tetris game!

Very cool, like what htey are doing with Tetris 99 to keep giving reasons to return.

None have been as good as the splatoon one tbh

Love it! Very nice!

Its a great marketing tool for advertising upcoming games, though some more retro ones would be welcomed. You could expand on the Pokemon idea by having themed based on past Tetris titles like the one on Pokemon Mini, a tribute to Pokemon Puzzle League as well as Tetris Attack, Tetris DS and so on. Be a celebration of all things Tetris.

True Cardcaptor Sakura Tetris would be tricky to pull off but if we could get Hello Kitty in Mario Maker, its possible.....

Unlock the theme and get something in Sword / Shield would be nice

Where's the Metriod theme at?

Another one so soon?

I like it, but tbe pokeball animations make it difficult for me to focus on the center.

@BenAV Yeah not a fan of the music either. And that first song is supposed to be the Wild Pokemon theme in Sword and Shield. I'm hoping we can turn the music down like in Let's Go, which almost feels blasphemous to say.

Had two quick games this morning before work, quarter of the way there, points wise. Love these themes and tournaments!

I'll be getting this one, although I never played a Pokemon game I also hope some special themes will return later on. I was on vacation when the Classic Tetris theme could be aquired, but left my Switch at home, so that's the only one I'm missing (and the one I want badly).

@neogyo I hope so, I'm missing one. Was there a Daemon X Machina theme? I'm missing the 4th one which annoys me no end.

They put a decent amount of effort into this one, nice!

...but I might hate the battle theme before the game comes out at this rate 😅

The sound for using the hold queue in this theme gets annoying if you like to use the hold queue a lot.

@YANDMAN Wait for Metroid Prime 4 to launch

Still annoyed I missed out on the Kirby theme while on vacation.

My Pokemon SwSh Lite is coming in today. Maybe I'll break it in with a few rounds of Tetris!

@DaCh33f I 100% agree. That's my fave theme to play on! Love that music!!!

@Danksparce Oh i don't intend on waiting that long.

@WCB no Daemon theme, like BenAV said it was Kirby. Which was extra cool bc it gave you 100 gem apples. If you give a dam about that silly game (which I kinda? Do haha)

Definitely a bummer to miss one tho I feel you!!! That Luigi one was so good.

This theme is better than the actual games will be.

@neogyo I only started up Super Kirby Clash to collect some free gems on offer but never played the game. I should try it out one of these days.

@WCB right on yea I think it’s good for short bursts of mindless fun:) haven’t played local co op but I bet it’d be even more fun with buds.

Anyone who still has images of the leaks!
Look at the pictures of Polteageist’s pre evo, zoom in on the Pokédex sprites for Polteageist and Galar Ponyta. Now find them on the Tetris 99 theme. They are exactly the same (btw the leaked sprites have never been officially shown anywhere but the leaks) meaning that most likely the leaks are real. As if anyone still thought they were fake.
