Moved to Forum: Original Link

This game is so good. It's basically Tetris meets Battle Royale.

You may already have access to Tetris 99 if you have Nintendo Online but you only get access to the online component. With this you get access to offline mode via the Big Block DLC as well as other features coming in the future.

Also comes with 12 months of Nintendo Online which is $29.95 on it's own!

RRP is $44.95, Next best is Big W at $39.

Release Date is 20/09/2019.

Personal best is rank 12 :)

Mod: Deal never went ahead. See comments. Deal can be re-posted in the future when/if Target offer it again.

    Wow, a physical version of Tetris 99.

  • RichardL on 16/09/2019 - 23:14

    I wonder if you receive a physical cartridge, or is it just a download code (like Fortnite) Physical Cartridge Based on this US Unboxing Video

    PS: It also cheaper to join a Nintendo Switch Online Shared Family Membership ($54.95 per year = ~$6.87 Per Person).

      Cheaper if you have someone to share it with

        I have no friends. And my family have abandoned me because of my OzBargaining ways…

          We are your family now, bluechan.

            @OkayFray: A single tear just rolled down my cheek. I've never felt such patriotism. Aussies banding together when it really matters, bargains!

    • furyou on 26/09/2019 - 23:44

      If I have kids with own accounts on the switch, does that mean each person needs a separate Nintendo Switch Online membership? So basically most people are going to need the Family Membership ?

      • RichardL on 26/09/2019 - 23:46

        If they have their own accounts, they would each require a separate Switch Online Membership (hence the family plan).

        Each Family Membership gives you access to 'up to 8 accounts'

  • savemesomemoney on 16/09/2019 - 23:21

    How do you preorder in Target? The pricing which usually has the buy/add to cart is greyed out. I hope Amazon matches.

    • ModeratorRichardL on 16/09/2019 - 23:24

      Removed Pre-Order.

        Oh thanks mod. Got me excited that I could lock in the price.

  • currentfad on 17/09/2019 - 00:01

    DLC is $15, so let's just say you are really paying $15 for membership (good if you can't be bothered coordinating with a family membership in which case it's like $7pp)

  • Smigit on 17/09/2019 - 00:11

    I really wish nintendo would allow people on family plans to redeem these codes and get say 1/3 or 1/2 the period based on some redemption rate. Missed out on the Amazon Prime 12 months as my accounts on a family plan and this, Mario Maker 2 Special Edition and soon Overwatch are all throwing in online game time for individual accounts.

    MS when converting to Game Pass Ultimate will take other subscriptions and convert at a set rate. Would love to see Nintendo do the same especially if they keep using Online subs as bonuses for game sales.

    • freoleo on 17/09/2019 - 01:48

      The game is free on the Eshop thanks to your family pass, why would you need to buy this?

      Since you are using a family pass, I assume you probably pay $7 a year, the dlc + $7 only comes to like $22 so you still come out in front.

      • Smigit on 17/09/2019 - 07:20

        Because I could use the credit towards the renewal and get a physician copy of the game, which is something I like to have. Presumably Nintendo is catering to those that want physical copies by releasing this at all.

        Also like I mentioned other games are including Nintendo Online time. I want to get Overwatch for example and that has a code I won’t be able to redeem. Likewise I have Amazon prime and can’t redeem the 12 months available through that.

        I’m paying the full family price and paying for my son who is 10 to have his account, so not getting close to $7 sub.

        • hey aj on 17/09/2019 - 11:02

          Does the physician version of Tetris 99 come with a scalpel?

    • scuderiarmani on 17/09/2019 - 07:08

      It come out this past week that Nintendo are doing just that soon… Upgrading to Family while transferring what you have.

      No idea why the negatives…

      • Smigit on 17/09/2019 - 07:22

        I saw that but the site I saw wasn’t clear how it’d work. They said one could upgrade an existing solo account to a family plan at a reduced rate. Didn’t see whether I could apply codes for solo Nintendo Online subs to an existing family plan to get an extension to the plan of some reduced period. With any luck that’s what they are doing.

  • Hiphopopotamus on 17/09/2019 - 00:29

    Any idea if the code has an expiry?

  • PreSsieGuY on 17/09/2019 - 00:40

    Anyone know if other stores like jbs or eb would stock these?

    • The Value on 17/09/2019 - 07:01

      Yes they will.

  • jace88 on 17/09/2019 - 01:57

    I also am a fan of Tetris 99 but don’t see the point in buying this…

    • ShadowStealer7 on 17/09/2019 - 03:17

      I believe it includes the Big Block DLC, which has a standard price of $15 on the eShop

        Are the blocks bigger?

  • s15mos on 17/09/2019 - 07:29

    I wonder what ebgames would offer as a trade in price of I buy from target and redeem the online pass?

  • IPYF on 17/09/2019 - 07:37

    Clever deal for Lite release day. Get you your Nintendo membership and a game for a little ancillary price. Also, everyone loves Tetris, so this is a banger. I'm in.

    Target better damn well have stock though.

  • alchemists on 17/09/2019 - 07:56

    I'm going to grab this just to have a physical copy of it. I purchased a Switch, Pokemon, Smash Bros. and Breath of the Wild and yet, I'm playing the 'free' Tetris game more than anything else…

    Anyone know if the 12 months subscription will stack?

    • Magical Sound Shower on 17/09/2019 - 09:44

      Yeah they definitely stack. I added the free Twitch Prime offer to my existing account.

      • JohnSmith1882 on 17/09/2019 - 12:58

        While I'm aware that they stack, I find using Nintendo's UI to be unintuitive. Do you know of a way to plaining see how many subscriptions you have remaining and what day it will expire? I should have 12 months from when I bought Mario Maker 2, and 12 from twitch prime, but I've never been able to verify this.

        On topic: I wouldn't mind grabbing this if it means I get 12 more months while essentially getting the Tetris DLC for nothing.

    I got my first win the other day FINALLY and unlocked that Invictus mode thing.

    You know how like the real game only starts when you hit the 20s? Well, Invictus starts there basically. Now when I play normal mode I'm doing trash if I am outside the top 15.

    Is the online membership redeemed with a code? If yes, do the codes have an expiry date?

    I asked Target on facebook, this is their reply:

    Hi there

    Thanks for reaching out to us.

    We've had a look into this for you and it appears that we are currently waiting on the stock to arrive.

    We are expecting the item to arrive in approximately two weeks.

    You will then start to see the item on shelves in stores, and online, so we suggest keeping an eye out. 😊

    If there is anything further we can assist with please don't hesitate to let us know.

    Kind Regards,
    Amber @ Target

    How many do they normally price match ?

    Can you get multiples ?

  • Hang919 on 23/09/2019 - 01:56

    Price matched at ebgames for $30.65, even though I showed the $33 JBhifi receipt, the staff was kind enough to price match the original target deal.

  • wiipantz on 23/09/2019 - 13:27

    Thought I would try my luck with above Screen caps. and receipt from JB. No luck, EB need the online price to match and JB has it at $44. Have yet to try JB yet with screen cap. of Target. I'm not holding my breath… my nintendo online membership expires this Friday :s

    The page is back up at Target but showing as sold out.

    • CartoonPizza on 23/09/2019 - 23:35

    I guess this was a price error.
    I clicked on the link (which said it was sold out).
    But then I looked at the 'Recently Viewed' part of the page and it said it was $44.
    So most likely if they actually got it in stock, it would be $44.

  • zuuutoootuuu on 26/09/2019 - 23:07

    showing in stock @ $44
