It’s time to command the armies of Alear, the Divine Dragon of prophecy, and save the realm! The 32nd MAXIMUS CUP Alear Edition featuring Fire Emblem™ Engage arrives to the Tetris 99 game for the Nintendo Switch family of systems, challenging 99 players to strategically place Tetriminos and rout the competition!
The Tetris 99 32nd MAXIMUS CUP event runs from 12 a.m. PT on March 24 to 11:59 p.m. PT on March 27. To participate, any Nintendo Switch Online member just needs to play the Tetris 99 online mode during the event period. Players will earn event points based on their placement in each match. Beginning with this MAXIMUS CUP, players will have a chance to earn more points than they did in previous MAXIMUS CUPS if they rank between places #90 and #2 in a match. Players who rank #1 will still earn 100 points for their display of skill.
Once players have accumulated a total of 100 event points, a new theme will unlock, featuring background art, music and Tetrimino designs inspired by the Fire Emblem Engage game. In Fire Emblem Engage, you can summon iconic heroes like Marth and Celica with the power of Emblem Rings and add their power to yours in an epic battle to defeat Sombron the mighty Fell Dragon.
In addition to Tetris 99, any Nintendo Switch Online member can also enjoy online play and the Save Data Cloud feature in a large selection of compatible games, along with access to over 100 classic NES, Super NES and Game Boy games, a smartphone app that enhances features of supported games, and the competitive online battle game PAC-MAN 99.
The Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership plan features all the same great benefits of a Nintendo Switch Online membership, but with access to classic Nintendo™ 64, Game Boy Advance and SEGA Genesis™ games, as well as select DLC at no extra cost with a paid membership.
