Tetris 99 update adds new team battle mode Block out some time. News by Tom Phillips Deputy Editor Updated on 11 Dec 2019 12 comments Nintendo Switch exclusive Tetris 99 has an update ready to hard drop - and it contains a new team battle mode. This four-team mode is about being the last side standing. Choose a colour before the match begins and then work together to pick off rival squads. If anyone on your team wins, you win! The game's 10th in-game event goes live tomorrow and makes use of the new mode. The top 999 players will win 999 Gold Points to spend on the Switch eShop. #Tetris99 adds Team Battle Mode with the Ver 2.1.0 update, available now! Choose one of 4 teams & compete to be the last squad standing! Also in this update are new button config options, user emblems, & an option to redeem 4 themes from past MAXIMUS CUP events. @Tetris_Official pic.twitter.com/azNifSZS44- Nintendo Versus (@NintendoVS) December 11, 2019 To see this content please enable targeting cookies.
