The official Nintendo Twitter account also tweeted a video showing off the Animal Crossing in-game theme that can be unlocked for earning at least 100 points in the competition:
If you’re not familiar with Tetris 99, it’s a take on the original game of Tetris in which players face against 98 other opponents and play until only one person remains. Tetris 99 is exclusive to Nintendo Switch Online subscribers, so you must have an active online membership in order to download and play the game.
The 13th Tetris 99 Maximus Cup will begin on May 15 at 12:00 a.m. PT and will last until May 18 at 11:59 p.m. PT.
