Wednesday's Nintendo Direct was filled with announcements and reveals of new games. But whereas a remake of a classic Zelda, Link's Awakening, might be a pleasant surprise you could have theoretically predicted, the truly unexpected news was that of Tetris 99. A week after the launch of Apex Legends, we now have a battle royale-style take on Tetris, and it's a free download on the Nintendo Switch Eshop right now.
In the gameplay video above, you can get a look at what it's like to play the new game. The action still unfolds like traditional Tetris, but you target different types of enemies, who find their board filled with extra pieces. While this is all going on, you can see the other players--all 98 of them--going about their business. It's a clever concept that makes for a surprisingly intense experience. Victory is not easy, but you can see what it's like to pull out a win in the video.
