Tetris 99 Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe

Tetris 99 is still hosting events, and the next one has been revealed to be a special collaboration with Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe. Players will have the opportunity to earn a special theme based on the game by participating in the 33rd Maximus Cup.

Any Nintendo Switch Online member only needs to play the Tetris 99 online mode during the event period. They’ll receive points based on their placement in each match. After hitting 100 event points, the Kirby’s Return to Dream Land Deluxe theme will unlock in Tetris 99. It features special background art, music, and Tetrimino designs.

Nintendo hacker Gary Bowser released early

We heard in February 2022 that Gary Bowser, someone who has been painted as a hacker at Team Xecuter, was sentenced to 40 months of prison. However, it turns out that he’s about to be released early due to good behavior (plus the time already served). 

Bowser will be sent home to Canada. While that’s all well and good, there’s a good chance he’ll be paying for the rest of his life. Bowser was sentenced to pay $10 million, which he’ll most certainly be unable to meet.
