Last year, in an attempt to bolster the value of its online service, Nintendo released the battle royale block-matching puzzle game, Tetris 99<\/a><\/strong>. It started out as an exclusive title available to Switch Online subscribers and ended up receiving a physical release later down the line.<\/p>\n

It was considered to be a revolutionary take on the classic series and had many people playing it for months on end. In a recent interview with US Gamer<\/a>, the creator of Tetris Alexey Pajitnov spoke about his own love for this Switch Online release and said it was a positive step towards Tetris establishing itself as an e-sport one day:<\/p>\n

\n

Tetris 99 is absolutely a great title. Basically, I think the one-player version of Tetris has been more or less stabilized over the years. That’s good, and we’re just adjusting the game to new user interfaces. But for two-player modes and serious competition, there are several challenges to overcome.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

<\/blockquote>\n

He also mentioned how he loved the Switch in general and revealed The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild<\/a><\/strong> was one of his favourite games on the system. Puyo Puyo Tetris<\/a><\/strong> is another title he’s rather fond of, stating how it is “the only game” that could possibly be paired with Tetris.<\/p>\n

Pajitnov even reflected on how he created the puzzle mode in the original Puyo Puyo<\/a><\/strong> game:<\/p>\n

\n

I designed the puzzle mode\u2014the small tasks, like when you need to clear the field in a couple of moves or something like that. But it was so long ago<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In our own interview<\/a> with Alex Pajitnov, dating back to last June, he also stated how much he loved Tetris 99 and thought it was “one of the best games” of 2019.<\/p>\n
