\"Tetris\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

Another busy week has gone by, with rumours of another 2019 Zelda release<\/a> and Mario game discounts<\/a> popping up all over the place, but we’ve finally made it to the weekend and it’s time to play some games. As always, team Nintendo Life has gathered together to discuss our plans and we’d love to have you involved. Feel free to join in via the poll and comments below. Enjoy!<\/em><\/p>\n

This weekend we\u2019ll be getting a snowstorm in my neck of the woods, so I\u2019m probably going to hunker down and force myself to get into more of the multiplayer games I\u2019ve purchased and not devoted enough time to playing. I\u2019m definitely more of an RPG\/adventure gamer, so it sounds crazy, but I\u2019ve really only played things like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate<\/a><\/strong>, Splatoon 2<\/a><\/strong>, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe<\/a><\/strong>, etc. in short bursts when there have been friends around to play with.<\/p>\n

That ends this weekend, whether I have to play online, against some CPUs, or just trap some unsuspecting friends inside of my house to play against. I might also finally give the Stardew Valley<\/a><\/strong> multiplayer mode a shot.<\/p>\n

Dearest NL readers, I have a problem. And that problem is Tetris 99<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

As you’ll already know if you saw<\/a> our stories<\/a> earlier this week, My Nintendo points are potentially up for grabs if you can claim a victory royale this weekend. As such, and because it’s so addictive, part of me wants to take on this challenge all weekend. The problem is that winning a game is so freakin’ hard.<\/em> I’ve always liked Tetris casually but haven’t played it to death over the years like some, and when I’m up against the monstrous beasts who seem to play this game, it really shows.<\/p>\n

I’ll probably give it a go, but perhaps the biggest challenge here will be accepting defeat!<\/p>\n
