<p>While we’re on the subject of Tetris 99, Nintendo’s Japanese website has shared some additional details about the second DLC pack (thanks, <a href="https://nintendoeverything.com/tetris-99-physical-version-boxart-dlc-2-tidbits-5th-maximus-cup-trailer/">Nintendo Everything</a>). The “Gather Battle” mode will allow you to play locally with eight players and the “Share Battle” will allow you to pass around a single Joy-Con as you play the game with one other friend.</p>
<p>We’ve also got a look at the Japanese box art and game card, courtesy of Nintendo’s <a class="external" href="https://topics.nintendo.co.jp/c/article/ebd725ca-9c90-11e9-b641-063b7ac45a6d.html">Japanese website</a>. This version will be released in-store on 9th August.</p>
