Tetris 99, the acclaimed battle royale twist on the classic puzzle franchise, has remained a staple on the Nintendo Switch for over five years.
Developed by Arika and published by Nintendo, Tetris 99 continues to captivate players with regular content updates, frequent in-game events, and new theme collaborations available through its celebrated Maximus Cup competitions.
Despite its age, the title retains a vibrant community, buoyed by the ongoing release of exclusive themes, many of which tie in with newly launched first-party Nintendo Switch games. Nintendo has announced that the 41st Maximus Cup for Tetris 99 will kick off on June 28, 2024, at 12:00 AM PT and conclude on July 1, 2024, at 11:59 PM PT.
This upcoming event will spotlight a special F-Zero 99 theme—a crossover inspired by Nintendo's own high-speed racing battle royale, adding another exciting layer for fans of both series to enjoy.
To participate, players simply need to engage in Tetris 99's online matches during the event window and accumulate a total of 100 event points.
Achieving this goal will permanently unlock the exclusive F-Zero 99 theme, which includes new background art, music, and custom Tetrimino designs all styled after the adrenaline-fueled world of F-Zero 99. Nintendo of America confirmed the news via social media, underlining that players who meet the event point threshold can look forward to this fresh theme being added to their growing collection.
The ongoing introduction of limited-time themes through the Maximus Cups has become a hallmark of Tetris 99, further cementing its status as a uniquely enduring entry in the Nintendo Switch library. Tetris 99 originally launched in February 2019, available exclusively for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers via the Nintendo eShop.
The game has since amassed millions of downloads and regularly appears in Nintendo Direct showcases highlighting fresh content and community events.
The Maximus Cup series, which frequently incorporates new and beloved Nintendo franchises, not only keeps the gameplay experience feeling fresh but also actively celebrates Nintendo’s broader ecosystem of titles. The 41st Maximus Cup is set to follow in this tradition, merging the timeless appeal of Tetris 99 with the distinctive flair of F-Zero 99.
