That's great. We had board games at ours and they were a huge hit with the non-dancing crowd. Can imagine the Switch will be similar.

You can see the attack coming on the left side of the screen. If you clear lines while the attack is coming it will eliminate that many lines from the attack. Things get wild at the end.

Hey, if I want to give my kids the capability to plug this into a second TV, can I just get a cable like this: https://www.amazon.com/UGREEN-Ethernet- ... able&psc=1

Or do I need to buy a whole second dock?
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

Just unplug the docking station from the current tv and plug it into the other one when you want to use it there.

That's understandable. I've liked competitive Tetris since the New Tetris on N64. This game is a fun twist on the battle royale concept.

I didn't want to have to reach behind the TV and mess with the cords everytime I want them to play in the other room. I was hoping to have a cord sticking out from under the TV.

Also, you have to pay for this online account to play Tetris 99? What do you get for that online account?

Nintendo Online is 19.99 a year or you can pay a smaller month by month fee. Includes the ability to play all Switch games online (some games do not require the subscription, like Fortnite), a growing library of NES games, cloud save storage, and some discounts in the store (coming soon I think). It's not the best online service (compared to XBox Live or Playstation Plus), but it is serviceable and growing. Games like Tetris 99 only help.
