Tetris 99

Hello, my phantom thieves! This week on NEP, we’re introducing our Fallout 76 inspired subscription membership service: Nintendo Everything Podcast 1st. It just works! Then we comb over all the details of Persona 5 Scramble, which Galen has a “Revelation” about… Oni isn’t pleased, but quickly regains happiness as the gang discuss Swery and Suda51’s new collab project. And, of course, the weekly dose of Pokemon gets added to the mix, as well.

If you’re enjoying NEP, please consider giving us a 5 star review on Apple Podcasts, aka new iTunes. It’s incredibly helpful in getting us exposed to new listeners through algorithms, so we would greatly appreciate your help. Thank you for listening!

This week, the podcast is sponsored by Koei Tecmo. Check out Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & the Secret Hideout, releasing on Nintendo Switch October 29th in North America, November 1st in Europe.

The next Tetris 99 online event has been announced. In its eight installment, the Grand Prix / Maximus Cup will once again be a collaboration with another first-party Nintendo game – this time with Luigi’s Mansion 3. As per usual, if you earn at least 100 points during the event, you will get a special Luigi’s Mansion 3 theme (the same theme that’ll be active during the event). The event will run from October 25 till October 29.
