You guys have got to hop on Tetris 99 because Nintendo just dropped an insane Star Fox crossover event that I can barely get excited enough about! So Star Fox officially launched on Switch 2 around July 10 and they immediately threw in this 55th Maximus Cup running until the 13th, where you unlock a full theme with custom Tetriminos, art, and music just for earning 100 event points. Plus there was already a day-one patch that activated all the online features so everything is ready to go right now if you want in on it. And do not skip the limited-time Star Fox Switch icons because they are dropping in waves with very specific deadlines: Wave 1 ended July 1, but Wave 2 runs through July 8 and Wave 3 goes until July 15 before Wave 4 wraps up on July 22. Each icon element is ten Platinum Points while the backgrounds and borders are priced at five apiece — so if you're hunting these exclusives you need to move fast because they won't be around forever!
