Just a week ago, Nintendo stirred up excitement by revealing the upcoming Maximus Cup in Tetris 99. This special event is themed around the beloved Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, which made its debut on the Nintendo Switch a month prior. Mark your calendars, as the Maximus Cup kicks off this weekend!
While we hadn't seen any gameplay footage for the event until now, Nintendo has just dropped a brand new gameplay trailer to gear us up for the action and showcase the unlockable theme that awaits players. Check out the official announcement from Nintendo below!
The #Tetris99 45th MAXIMUS CUP event will run from 2/13 at 11:00pm PT to 2/17 at 10:59pm PT!
