It looks bonkers, and it’s free on Switch starting right now.įire Emblem: Three Houses got a long spot that introduced the main characters, whom you’ll no doubt ally with and/or be betrayed by. The recent trend of battle royale and perhaps the best game ever made, Tetris, combine in Tetris 99, where 100 people simultaneously and competitively drop blocks. Talent from The Wonderful 101, Bayonetta and Nier: Automata ensure this will be worth keeping an eye on. Platinum has an intriguing new game called Astral Chain, in which you appear to control two fighters at the same time in some crazy-looking robot(?)-on-robot action. I admit to never finishing this, but I loved the feel of it, so I’m dying to play this new tilt-shifted, perspective-switching 3D version. Shown last but likely to garner the bulk of the internet’s response is the remake of Link’s Awakening, which came out more than a quarter of a century ago on Game Boy. But boy did they have more up their sleeves. The stream cold opened with a look at the new Mario Maker, which would honestly be enough announcement for one day. Here’s everything the company announced, from Super Mario Maker 2 to the unexpected remake of Game Boy classic Link’s Awakening.
#OTOMATA TETRIS SERIES#
But I very much enjoyed it and you get a great sense of accomplishment when completing a stage.The afternoon brought an eventful series of announcements from Nintendo in one of its Direct video promos, and 2019 is looking to be a banner year for the Switch. At the end of the day, this game is a glorified version of Tetris with a few new gameplay mechanics. One frustration is that sometimes the next piece comes too soon and you accidentally cause several pieces to stack up quickly and it can really ruin your progress. While this can be perceived as "cheating," the game still poses a great challenge even with this new mechanic. You can continuously rotate a piece and even move it side to side before it is permanently set in place. The game does NOT play in the same exact way as classic Tetris. The visuals and effects are nifty but also a little gimmicky. The soundtrack is excellent and I even listen to it when not playing the game. The game is addicting because you feel like you can beat a stage and just keep trying again and again until you eventually do beat it. I started playing in normal difficulty but could not get past the 7th stage so I restarted the game in beginner difficulty and from then on I was able to really develop my skill set and ended up eventually beating all three difficulty modes over a two month period of regular play time. There are 27 stages which can be played in a progressive manner in beginner, normal or expert difficulty.

I played the Journey mode, which is the single player offline mode. There are 27 stages which can be I thoroughly enjoyed Tetris Effect.
