Tetris 99 1.3.0 Update
Added content
Kicking things off in Tetris 99 1.3.0 update is the arrival of additional paid DLC. The CPU Battle Mode and Marathon Mode have been patched into the game to provide new ways of playing the hit title.
CPU Battle Mode allows you to play offline against 98 CPU players and determine if you have the beating of your Nintendo Switch. Marathon Mode, meanwhile, is more akin to your traditional Tetris games. It allows you to play offline too and challenges you to clear the most lines and score big while playing.
Functionality
The Tetris 99 1.3.0 update also brings some changes to functionality in the game. You can now access the records of your past 10 matches to find out how well, or how badly, you’ve been doing recently.
You can also change the theme that you want the game to display while you play, as well as your player icon. This will give you much greater control on how you want the title to look so it’s personal to you. Finally, you can obtain distributed themes if you want to further personalize your own gaming experience.
General fixes
Finally, the Tetris 99 1.3.0 update addresses a number of fixes that enable you to have a more enjoyable gaming experience. The patches don’t specify what these changes are, but it’s almost certain that they are under the hood tweaks that allow Tetris 99 to function better than before.
As always, to install this newest update you’ll need to quit the game and turn off your Nintendo Switch. After 10 seconds or so, turn it back on and re-launch the game. The update will download and install automatically.

Nintendo Labo VR
Prepare to get intimately close with your Nintendo Switch with the launch of Labo VR! While it's unclear if the cardboard setup will work with third-party VR titles, you'll at least know that Nintendo has something charming and disposable prepared for this fourth Toy-Con release. -
BOX BOY! + BOX GIRL!
Hal's other cute and simple mascot makes the jump from 3DS to Switch in Box Boy! + Box Girl! The series is about puzzle platforming by extending your square frame out into would-be Tetris pieces until you can move forward. Releasing in April, you won't have to wait long to see what's at end of this monochrome world. -
Super Mario Maker 2
There are regular Nintendo fans and then there are those that bought a Wii U specifically to play Mario Maker. Whether you're looking to build elaborate death traps or just play through the thousands of user creations, Mario Maker 2 looks to be the follow-up that every fan of the original has been dying for. -
Dragon Quest Builders 2
If you prefer Slimes to Goombas, Dragon Quest Builders 2 has your back. Taking the famous Japanese RPG series into the realm of Minecraft, this sequel has already seen success from its Japanese launch. What's the coolest feature? A retro-inspired fast travel map that hearkens back to the roots of the series. -
Fire Emblem: Three Houses
Fire Emblem once again hits the big time with Three Houses, an original adventure coming on Switch. Seemingly built in the mold of Fire Emblem Fates without releasing in three separate parts, you'll be choosing between kingdoms and tactically taking on their evil adversaries. -
Astral Chain
The prolific developers at Platinum Games are at it again, bringing a futuristic space cop story to its tried and true action formula. With mechs, a rainbow of hairstyles on the cast and plenty of neon lights, this could be another standout of the stylish action genre. -
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3
Everyone is here! OK, not Mario, but every Marvel hero returns in Ultimate Alliance 3. Developed by Team Ninja, this action RPG looks to be a more worthy successor to the original than the lackluster first sequel. It's good to see Wolvie and the X-Gang hanging out in the greater Marvel canon once again. -
Daemon X Machina
Switching back to mechs, Daemon X Machina has made headlines at several past Nintendo Directs for looking like a return to a Zone of the Enders-style experience. The demo wasn't universally praised, but there's plenty of time for everything to come together before its scheduled release. -
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night
Are you still hungry for more Metroidvania after running through Dead Cells or Hollow Knight? Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night brings the genre back to its roots by upping the vampires and the developer's pedigree. Even though it is from the mind behind Castlevania, can this retro revival stand out in the crowd? -
Pokemon Sword and Shield
After what feels like 3,000 years, a mainline Pokemon RPG is finally launching on Nintendo's home console. Sword and Shield bring the action to Pokemon's facsimile of England but otherwise looks to stick to what's worked in the past. Remember, Scorbunny is the best starter and we will hear nothing different.
