News: If you are a physical collector and like adding game boxes to your library you might want to jump on this new bundle.

Nintendo has revealed that beginning today at select retailers Switch owners will be able to pick up a new bundle that includes Tetris 99 and a 12-month membership to Nintendo Switch Online at a price of $29.99. The standalone 12-month membership is normally $19.99, so this gives players a year to enjoy all the great features of Nintendo Switch Online, in addition to Tetris 99 and all of its currently released DLC, at a great value.

With Nintendo Switch Online, members gain access to online play and Save Data Cloud in compatible Nintendo Switch games, plus a smartphone app that enhances features of supported games. In addition, Nintendo Switch Online members can play a wide selection of classic NES and Super NES games with newly added online play.

In Tetris 99 Battle mode, players take part in massive 99-player battles, competing to be the last person standing. Players who are more traditionalists can see how long they’ll last offline in the single-player Marathon mode. While offline, players can take on 98 CPU players all by themselves, pass a Joy-Con controller to a friend for a two-player game against each other and CPU opponents on one Nintendo Switch system or face off with up to seven other players who have their own systems and games via a local wireless connection.

Will you be picking up this bundle? Nintendo recently added 20 SNES games to the Switch Online Service as well that you can play at no additional cost as long as you are a member. In case you haven’t seen Tetris 99 in action, take a look at the trailer below and then tell us what you think.
