Tetris 99 players take note… Nintendo has locked in a scheduled time and a new prize for this month’s Maximus Cup event.
To celebrate the recent release of Fire Emblem: Three Houses, players will get the chance to unlock a new Theme based on the game during this weekend’s event. According to Nintendo, the new Theme includes “background art, music, and Tetrimino designs all inspired by the latest Fire Emblem game.”
The sixth Maximus Cup will begin on Friday, August 23, at 3:00 AM (Eastern Time) and conclude on Tuesday, August 27, at 3:00 AM (Eastern Time). As always, players will need to earn 100 points during the event to unlock the new Theme, but Nintendo has decided to be a bit more generous this time around if you finish below 10th Place:
