By Jon Scarr
This week’s Nintendo Download feels very seasonal. There are no big headline drops, but there is still plenty to look through, especially if you enjoy events or keeping an eye on new eShop releases.
The main focus this week is a new Tetris 99 MAXIMUS CUP tied to Animal Crossing: New Horizons, along with a list of new games across Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2.
Here is everything included in this week’s Nintendo Download.
Online Events
Tetris 99 51st MAXIMUS CUP
The 51st MAXIMUS CUP event is now live in Tetris 99, bringing new Animal Crossing: New Horizons themed content with it. Nintendo Switch Online members playing the online mode during the event can earn event points, and collecting 100 points unlocks a special theme with Animal Crossing-inspired art, music, and Tetrimino designs.
The event runs from January 8 at 11 p.m. PT to January 12 at 10:59 p.m. PT, so there is plenty of time to jump in. It is also a nice reminder that Animal Crossing: New Horizons is set to receive a new update on January 15.

Wrapping Up This Week’s Nintendo Download
This week is not about big announcements. It is more about events and seeing what's new on the eShop. The Tetris 99 event gives Animal Crossing fans something fun to work toward, and the eShop list offers plenty of smaller games to browse if you are in the mood to try something new.
It is not a packed update, but it fits the time of year. Sometimes all you need is a good excuse to jump back in.
Are you jumping into the MAXIMUS CUP, or just browsing the eShop this week?
