About Tetris 99
99 players…but only one will remain! TETRIS® 99 is the iconic puzzle game as you’ve never seen it before. Can you pick the right strategy to best 98 other players online* – all at the same time?!
TETRIS® 99 is available as an exclusive offer for members of the Nintendo Switch Online paid membership service. After all, TETRIS 99 is all about battling online for block-dropping dominance against players around the world!
Make smart use of Tetrisâ„¢ Line Clears, KO the other 98 players and become the sole survivor!
The basics
As various Tetriminos appear at the top of the screen, it’s up to you to guide them into place using the directional buttons and stop the screen filling all the way to the top. Complete a row of blocks and the line will clear, earning you points. Clear four lines at once to achieve a ‘Tetris™ Line Clear’ – and if you pull off multiple Tetris™ Line Clears in a row, you’ll really rack up the points and put pressure on your foes!
Clear ‘em out
Whenever you clear two or more lines simultaneously, you’ll send Garbage Blocks at your opponents, filling up their screens with difficult-to-clear obstructions. With 98 other players in each battle, you’ll be attacked with Garbage Blocks from all directions. Don’t get discouraged – strike back with attacks of your own by clearing lines!
You’ll be alerted before any Garbage Blocks arrive, and can even see how many lines are coming your way, giving you the chance to prepare yourself! Look out for warnings about incoming attacks, and change your approach at any time, using the right stick to choose which types of players to target with your own Garbage Blocks.
