Tetris 99 Gets A Second Grand Prix In Europe Too Along With A New Scoring System
Tetris 99 Gets A Second Grand Prix In Europe Too, Along With A New Scoring System Nintendo Life Playing makes prizes by Share: on A handful of hours ago, we shared news from Nintendo of America which stated that the Tetris Maximus Cup was , this time with new rules.
Now, Nintendo of Europe has also confirmed that the Grand Prix (a similar event to North America's Maximus Cup) is also coming back. This second Grand Prix has adopted the new rules from the second North American event, but this tweet below explains the rules a little more clearly. Grand Prix 2 is on from 15:00 CEST on 12/04 until 08:59 CEST on 15/04!
During the event, earn points each time you place 80th or above. With every 100 points, you'll get a chance to win 999 Gold Points, worth €9.99 in ! - Nintendo of Europe (@NintendoEurope) That's right, securing a top 80 place will reward you with points (with the number of points growing the higher you place). Every time you score 100 points, you'll get another shot at being one of the lucky so-and-sos to walk away with 999 Gold Points to spend on the eShop. Finally we don't have to spend all day hoping for just one victory! Will you be taking part? Do you like the sound of the new rules? Let us know below.

He’d much rather just have a night in with Mario Kart and a pizza, and we can’t say we blame him. Comments ) I don't know if it actually makes things easier or there will be more people eligible, so the chances of getting the 999 points will diminish. I've currently got 10 victories out of 125 games. It feels like the competition is getting tougher lately, though. Better get practicing... I got a win last time and didn't get the prize, but just can't count the amount of times I finished in the top 10. If I play like I did before, aiming for one win, I should give myself plenty of chances! Ultimately, luck still decides. Bring it! Yes, it is. The last event I got 22 victories and still didn't win the gold points. It was restricted to italian players so it was pretty easy, no japanese wizards!
But to be eligible you needed only one victory, so bad luck for me Won a round last time, but did not win any points. Not holding out much hope this time, especially since it seems winning the gold points will be harder this time as more people are now eligible, but who I am I kidding? I will probably still put a lot of time into this. Looking forward to it. Good luck everyone! I agree, I fluked a win last time but didn't get any gold points. Now I haven't got a prayer! Theoretically it improves my chances because I've never won, but I can place 3rd. For a usual winner, though, I think it reduces the chances. Last time some people I know got their 999 points after winning, so I thought maybe there wasn't so many people in Europe with the level or luck to win. Anyway, if they award you points just for placing above 80th, it means the more you play, the more chances you get. So I'm out, because I can't spend all the weekend playing. It rewards the sheer participation, and it should reward the skill. I know the higher the better, but maybe someone can actually spend 72 hours playing and getting 100 points every time and wins. I hope there's a clear indicator in-game of when you earn points and how many you've currently earned.
I'm pretty consistent with reaching top 10, and getting a win roughly a third of the time, so this should be a nice event. I also appreciate that the competition is not about who has the most points, but earning points means more chances. > Finally we don't have to spend all day hoping for just one victory! Indeed. Now we only have to spend all day trying to earn as many points as possilbe. I got 97 victories out of 250. But I will be traveling that weekend, too bad. Still not won once.. it seems unbalanced to me... this time you don't have to win. Play the best you can and have fun. Every 100 points is an entry ticket so go for it. I'm yet to win a game...best I've done is 11th, I think. Hold up, I thought it was the top 999 players who got the coins. Is it more like a draw where every 100 points gets your name entered? Well that's me in luck then! I like the rule change. Leave A Comment Hold on there, you need to to post a comment...
