alienboyva Posted April 9, 2019 Author Share Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) The 2nd onlineĀ event for TETRIS 99 is coming up this weekend, with another chance to win 999 gold My Nintendo points!... Ā Ā With the change to how youĀ earn points duringĀ events, I should have a much better chance at making top 999. ...But all those pros that come out in masses for events.

Or better yet, keep this stacking points thing, where 100 pts = a win and you get put into a drawing. Doc Brown 1 Quote Link to comment

Ā Definitely on both counts.Ā Ā Ā Just played for fun last night and got 75th place lol. I'm just playing for the shits and giggles now as I have no chance. Ā Quote Link to comment
alienboyva Posted April 9, 2019 Author Share Posted April 9, 2019 (edited) Coming from an NOE promo video for this event, here areĀ the points you'll earn for each place... Ā Ā Now, EU is doing it right! Stacking points + drawing for 999 gold MyNTDO pts. C'mon, NOA! Edited April 9, 2019 by alienboyva Doc Brown 1 Quote Link to comment
Doc Brown Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Word. Here's to hoping they'll follow suit next time. Quote Link to comment
alienboyva Posted April 14, 2019 Author Share Posted April 14, 2019 My current stats in the 2nd event (didn't get to play Friday night)... Ā Ā Doc Brown 1 Quote Link to comment
Doc Brown Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Awesome! Ā I'm up to 124 points so far. Highest I've gotten is up to 20th (just reached it tonight). alienboyva 1 Quote Link to comment
alienboyva Posted April 14, 2019 Author Share Posted April 14, 2019 (edited) Here's my final standings. This is theĀ equivalent of 5 1st place wins. I probably could have gotten 1k if I was able to play all 3 days. Hell, I didn't even get to play as much as I did inĀ the last event. The highest I was able to get was 3rdĀ twice, though I did come in the top 10 quite a few times. I noticed some matches took a hell of a long time to get into the top 10. The blocks would be falling at full speed before we even reached the top 10.Ā Ā Hopefully this is enough to make the top 999. Ā Ā Edited April 14, 2019 by alienboyva Quote Link to comment
Doc Brown Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 My final score is 144 points. Took a bit of fighting to get the last few points though. alienboyva 1 Quote Link to comment
alienboyva Posted April 26, 2019 Author Share Posted April 26, 2019 Ā Ā NICE! Ā More events? I'd rather have more modes (on/offline), TBH Quote Link to comment

alienboyva Posted May 10, 2019 Author Share Posted May 10, 2019 (edited) New game modes coming, including offline modes, but itās paid DLC. Also, the 3rd online event has been announced (see 2nd tweet below), which if you score 100 pts, you will unlock a Game Boy theme. Ā Ā Hmm...Iām not sure if this is worth $10. Itās really weird to have to pay for offline modes, especially on top of the $20 a year for NSO. This should be free for NSO members and paid for everyone else.Ā Ā Ā A Game Boy Theme? Ā I really hope they do more themes. Edited May 10, 2019 by alienboyva Quote Link to comment
Dancing Mog Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 Another DLC pack will be released as part of this pack for $10 so not a bad price really though would prefer a free marathon mode, hope to get some funds for my bday at the end of the month. Quote Link to comment

Ā I really hope they do more themes. Really guys? Dammit. Guess I'll have to put some money aside.Ā And it won't be for awhile, since I need that money for a Switch screen protector. Only upside is that it's a one time payment for that. Edited May 10, 2019 by Doc Brown Quote Link to comment

Ā That'sĀ not too bad, I guess. I still have $5 left in my account from when I used an eShop card to get Lumines Remastered about a year go, so I only really have to pay $5. Though it just seems weird to have to pay for offline modes in an online game, which you get for FREE for subscribing to an online service.Ā Ā I wonder if non-NSO members will be able to buy this DLC? I would guess so, since anyone can download the game and you only need NSO to play the online mode(s). ...Unless the game won't let you boot it with out an NSO membership, like the NES game app. Quote Link to comment
EH_STEVE Posted May 10, 2019 Share Posted May 10, 2019 (edited) Definitely looking forward to the Maximus Cup Ā Also, $10 for two new modes on a FREE* game? Sure thing! Ā Ā *Depending on why you bought NSO in the first place Edited May 10, 2019 by EH_STEVE Quote Link to comment
alienboyva Posted May 10, 2019 Author Share Posted May 10, 2019 (edited) Here's some footage of the DLC (video below)... Ā For $10 they could at least added some new music. >_> That damn Tetris theme remix is going to get old FAST!. *Sigh* ...Even theĀ GB version had 3 songsĀ you could choose from. Ā Also, is Marathon only 150 lines? No endless? I need my endless!Ā At this point I'm starting to thinkĀ Puyo Puyo Tetris is a better value, even though it costs a bit more.Ā Ā EDIT: Oh! It seems there is another option to choose from in Marathon besides 150 lines, not sure if it's endless, since it's not in English. Ā EDIT 2:Ā Looking at the eShop it says the $10 DLC is a Season Pass and there'sĀ another pack that's supposed to be out by theĀ end of the year. It doesn't lookingĀ like you can by the packs separately though.Ā If you can get all future DLC for free with this Pass (not sure if they will add more than 2 DLC packs) then $10 is a good deal. Still not sure if I'm going to get this yet. Though, If I use my gold My Nintendo pts along with the $5 I already have in my account, I'd only have to pay $1.30 or so.
