Well, in the history of surprise announcements during Nintendo Direct presentations, this one hits pretty high on the list: Tetris 99 is a battle royale version of the classic building block game and it’s available on Switch today, for free.
What?
Yes, this is real. If you have a Nintendo Switch Online membership, you can parachute into the ring right now* (*no actual parachuting involved) and battle it out Tetris-style with 98 other players until only one remains.
What are you waiting for? Go, champion! Go!
