For one, multiple clothing and accessory companies will release Tetris-themed items this year. Tetris turns 35 in 2019, and the brand is already having a huge year. In a press release, Nintendo said, “Information about additional upcoming game modes will follow at a later date.” This means we can look forward to even more Tetris 99 goodness in the future. This is pretty exciting news for Tetris fans, but it gets even better. Competing against other real players, however, still requires a Nintendo Switch Online subscription. So long as you purchase the Big Block DLC, you can enjoy these two modes without spending additional money to become a Nintendo Switch Online subscriber. To be especially clear, both of these modes are played offline, so the previous requirement of being a Nintendo Switch Online subscriber to play doesn’t apply here. CPU Battle lets players compete against 98 computer-controlled opponents, while Marathon is a more traditional Tetris experience, challenging players to simply clear lines without letting the Tetriminos reach the top of the screen. It costs $9.99, and it includes two offline modes: CPU Battle and Marathon.

The Big Block DLC for Tetris 99 is available now.

New paid downloadable content (DLC) will give families the chance to experience all of the fun of Tetris 99, but without the requirement of playing online (or purchasing a Nintendo Switch online subscription). The game is fast and fun, but it can also be a bit stressful, knowing you’re constantly competing with other real players of varying skill levels.
