Nintendo of America has announced that a physical version of Tetris 99 is coming soon. It will officially release on September 6, complete with all of the latest DLC and a one-year subscription to Nintendo Switch Online for $29.99. In addition, two offline local multiplayer modes will be added to the game’s Big Block DLC later this year. Up to eight friends can battle together in Local Arena, while two players can share Joy-Con controllers in 2P Share Battle.
A dataminer has discovered a number of new modes for Tetris 99 which will presumably be introduced in the coming weeks/months. Here is what OatmealDome has found so far:
- “Team Battle”: Two giant teams clash. Be on the winning side”
- “COM Battle”: “Battle against 98 bots. Defeat the machines!” (supports both 99 Battle and Team Battle).You can also change the CPU difficulty in COM Battle.
- “Marathon”: score attack -> 200 lines or endless. It appears you can also change the starting level.
