Surprise! Switch Online's Battle Royale Tetris 99 Just Got A New Update

We need new events ... also... aren't we missing the remaining Spirits announced for Smash?

A little off-topic, but I'm surprised that they never updated the Tetris 99 logo to match the 2019 rebrand of the Tetris brand, especially since Tetris 99 released the same year as the rebrand.

@HotGoomba

damn what a downgrade! so glad they kept the incredible classic dean logo, for whatever reason 👍👍

@-wc-
Did you really type dean instead of clean because they look so similar?

My Nintendo Switch Online money is going to good places, I see.

If I had to guess, the update is to add the themes you missed previously.

I cannot say for sure since I have all the themes available, including the non-event ones.

@nukatha Roger Dean, artist who did the old logo as well as many beautiful Yes album covers.

I have 550 hours in it and still play it a few times a week, especially in the morning to wake up my brain. It does a better job than coffee!

@Dr_Corndog
Hot dang, I didn't know that. Capitalize names, please!

Surprise! A stability update!

@HammerGalladeBro I just checked, and unfortunately, it did not add themes to the shop for events that were missed. Hopefully that's still coming soon, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see. I just really want to get my hands on the Mario All-Stars one. It's been FOUR years! I've pretty much given up hope, though. I know they've brought back old themes before, but I'm convinced this one is different because it was part of the "Mario 35th" stuff that was a limited-time only. Which is really stupid if that's the case--I can't help Nintendo held that event during finals week! I'm still so salty about this.

Love it, was waiting for this update, so hyped to hop on the game now, keep the good news coming!

@HalBailman How cool to see a fellow Tetrimino fan I'm not sure how far I am in terms of hours since I've been playing it on several Switches, but over 300h that's for sure.
I could not agree more on your statement that Tetris 99 in the morning is better than coffee. So true.
Anyways, love this game, happy when more new theme are coming as well.

I wish they added a BOTW or TOTK themes… I really enjoy my Paper Mario and Skyward Sword theme, but man getting into the top 10 and having the Guardian or Gloom Hands music play would make it so much better. Stressful, but better XD

Give us Panel de Pon/Tetris Attack/Planet Puzzle League 99 Nintendo!!!!!

I wonder why they don't add Tetris NES via Switch Online? Best version ever!

@Yoshif3 I'm not so sure about the final spirit Smash Event. In theory, there should be one more since there were supposed to be four new drops total but I can't find good detail on whether that's going to happen. It's possible the Gen 9 Pokemon spirits were the final drop.

Nice with updates, as I still play this. Though what really has needed revision ever since it showed up are the unlock criteria for the the player icons pertaining to the Team Play.
No-one (at least I'd wager so) has managed to win ten games while playing for a team with ten or fewer players. Simply because the system assigns so many CPUs to teams that you are only ever less than 10 on the rare occasion that a lot of human players are present, AND your team color was picked by very few. And then you gotta win from that position as well. Ten times.

@HotGoomba
Rude. Roger Dead is still alive, and the logo is iconic.

I've mostly just hopped into the game when there's a Maximus Cup for the themes, but I'm still glad to see them updating the game.

@Axecon weren’t it five? I don’t know if they announced a period of time in which they would be released or something.
Just want them to announce the Spirits Sinai won’t be worried about missing them
