Everyone has access to Tetris 99 as a free digital download through the eShop that includes an online mode that is a special offer for Nintendo Switch Online members where you can compete in a large-scale, 99-player battle. Plus, with a Nintendo Switch Online membership, you have access to a collection of retro titles from systems past, including the original Tetris game for Game Boy. Simply follow these steps:

  • Go to Nintendo Switch Online on your Nintendo Switch
  • Click NES, Super NES, Game Boy, Nintendo 64, and Game Boy Advance from the menu
