What Even Is Tetris 99 For Nintendo Switch?

Tetris 99 is an online battle royale Tetris game for Nintendo Switch in which 99 players compete online for victory.

By the way, Tetris 99 is one of my favorite games for Nintendo Switch.

It’s a solid interpretation of the tried-and-true Tetris gameplay with brilliant colors and unique game mechanics that make playing against 98 other players a lot of fun.

You can also read my handy article in which I provide 9 reasons why you should play Tetris 99 as its a really fun Tetris game I think all fans of the series should try.


Tetris 99 Events Are Free And Fun To Play

Nintendo developed Tetris 99 and holds occasional events for players to earn themes for free.

These free theme change Tetris 99’s visuals and audio.

Specifically, the themes alter the Tetris blocks, background, and music that plays during a game session.

It’s a lot of fun playing and collecting the new Tetris 99 themes.

I honestly think this is one of the best themes for Tetris 99

This time, Nintendo celebrated the release of its underwater multiplayer diving game–Endless Ocean Luminous–with an Endless Ocean Luminous Tetris 99 theme.

I honestly think this is one of the best themes for Tetris 99.

Why? The music is tranquil and the background is a nice blue color of an eye-pleasing underwater image.

Both work well to calm oneself while playing Tetris 99 which is often a hectic affair.


My Tetris 99 Endless Ocean Experience

Overall, it took me 27 minutes to unlock the Endless Ocean Luminous theme in Tetris 99.

Each win earns the player points and collecting 100 points gifts the player with a free theme.

Of course, placing closer to 1st place will net many more points than ranks closer to 99.

But . . . I failed quite a bit (haha).

I played pretty aggressive and tended to build my tower high

The game is quite competitive with players from all over the world playing.

Talk about challenging!

Also, I often failed due to using a controller I normally don’t use when playing Tetris 99

But my laziness won out so I didn’t switch controllers and pushed through to victory.

I played pretty aggressive and tended to build my tower high in order to coax others into targeting me.

Then, I would target attackers and clear lines in order to toss tons of garbage blocks back on all those who dared target me.

Muahahaha!


Tetris 99 Makes Me Want To Play Endless Ocean

In the end, I had a fantastic time earning my Endless Ocean Luminous theme in Tetris 99.

I always enjoy playing what can arguably be considered the best Tetris game ever made.

Give me Endless Ocean Luminous now, please

And I hope you had just as much fun earning the latest Tetris 99 theme as I did.

Man, I really want to play Endless Ocean Luminous now.

Excited!
