Tetris 99's New Crossover Event Celebrates Super Mario Galaxy, Unlock A Special Theme

TETRIS 99 is easily my most played Switch 1/2 title. Nice to see regular cup events still happening!

I shall not miss this theme.

One month out?

Please, Nintendolife, help me remember! Please give me a notification once it’s up! 😅

At this point, they should hold 99 Maximus Cup events. More than halfway there!

Nice but when is Arika (Tetris 99 developer) gonna bring Tetris The Grand Master 4 out on Switch/Switch 2?! It's been almost a year since the Steam release

NOOOOO! We'll be in Spain that week and I didn’t intend to bring my Switch2, but I can’t miss this theme! 😆

Got me thinking about booting up the game for this one.

I mean, I won't, but it got me THINKING about it.

...not meaning to say it's a bad game, I just have skill issues with Tetris and the only ones I ever really enjoyed were Tetris & Dr. Mario on SNES and Tetris DS. lol

@JohnnyMind yeah! My daughter is doing A-Level Spanish and she loves it, so we got this trip for her for Christmas… obviously we are all going to benefit from it too though hee hee. Thank you! I will need to get a case for my Switch2 first

It’s not Mario Day. Only the USA and its obtuse dating system has it that way around. The majority of the worlds population use DDMMYY.

Definitely looking forward to this! Will participate.

@JohnnyMind I've played it before, it just didn't really keep me hooked and I don't have much intention to really boot it up again. Especially since I already missed so many themes at this point anyway, haha.
I honestly much prefer their other efforts, Mario 35 and F-Zero 99. Those are more my forte. But it is nice to see Tetris 99 getting so much continued support!

@RadioHedgeFund Just a bit of marketing fun, man. And no one is trying to incorporate the YYYY in the name of the day, that'd make even less sense. Best to just think of it as a play on the way people say what day it is, e.g., "Today is March 10th."

EDIT: Or do folks who use DDMMYYYY also say it's the 10th of March?

EDIT 2: Looks like Japan does YYYYMMDD, so they have some Mar10 action going on, too.

@AmplifyMJ take your switch 1 then

WE ARE CELEBRATING MAR10 DAY BY LETTING YOU PLAY TETRIS 99 ALMOST, A...WHOLE...MONTH...LATER! TO GET NEW MAR10 THEMED BACKGROUNDS FOR IT, WHICH MAKES TOTALLY NO DAMN SENSE, AND MAKES IT TOTALLY IRRELEVANT TO MAR10!!!!!

YOU'RE WELCOME!!!!!

I've been looking for a reason to jump back in.

April 3rd? That's a couple days before my vacation... I'll have to get that theme before my flight date!

@Game_n_Watch_it_pal I am kind of being sarcastic.

But it does bug the heck out of me that Hollywood seem to think the rest of the world is ok with the Americanisation of the calendar.

Its not 'March TwentyTwo'; Its 'The twentysecond of March'.

@RadioHedgeFund To be clear, we'd say twenty second as well, not twenty two.

@JohnnyMind Ha, wish I thought of that pun.

And yeah it is a real shame that they discontinued Mario 35 the way they did. Maybe one day it will return!

@USWITCH64 🤦 brilliant 😆 I might just do that thank you

Tetris and Dead By Daylight are among the only two titles I've played on my Switch 2. I'd like them to release The Outlast Trials and Halloween because playing them in handheld mode is a lot of fun.

Would be awesome if the site has a reminder article or bumps this one somehow when the actual event takes place because I fear I will forget it by the start of next month.

@Friendly @liam_doolan

Thank you for the reminder! 🙏
