Nintendo sent out the following

……..

Is this … ? Is this the newest Tetris® 99 MAXIMUS CUP?
Why, it’s offering the chance to earn an in-game theme based on the Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD game! Well this news is as triumphant as a Loftwing soaring in an updraft. With the Tetris 99 game on the Nintendo Switch system, you’ll be able to chart your true destiny as a Tetris champion among many. Line up and let the competition begin!
The Tetris 99 23rd MAXIMUS CUP event runs from 12 a.m. PT on Aug. 6 to 11:59 p.m. PT on Aug. 9. To participate, Nintendo Switch Online members* just need to play the Tetris 99 online mode during the event period. Players will earn event points based on their placement in each match. Once players have accumulated a total of 100 event points, a new theme will unlock, featuring background art, music and Tetrimino designs inspired by The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword HD.
While the Tetriminos may descend from above in a brutal assault, your challenge must continue until you have proven your strength as a warrior. Proceed with caution as you carefully select your strategy. But do not plunge into despair! Your victory will be forged by your own hand, and one day your event theme can be proudly displayed as proof of your journey toward bravery.
Nintendo Switch Online members can also enjoy online play and the Save Data Cloud feature in a large selection of compatible games, along with access to over 100 classic NES and Super NES games, a smartphone app that enhances features of supported games, and the competitive online battle game PAC-MAN 99. After four decades of iconic gaming memories, PAC-MAN is back in the maze, ready to hunt down those ever-elusive ghosts. But this time, you’ll be competing against 98 fellow players to emerge as the last PAC-MAN standing.
