* 2022: ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild 2''. We're already long overdue for a Zelda-themed skin.

to:

* April 2022: ''VideoGame/KirbyAndTheForgottenLand''. Pretty much every new Kirby game has also received a ''Tetris 99'' skin, so I don't see why this one wouldn't.
* May 2022: ''VideoGame/NintendoSwitchSports''. This is the biggest release on the Switch for April 2022.
* July 2022: ''VideoGame/MarioStrikersBattleLeague''. There are a lot of Mario skins, but this one has a different art style to differentiate itself.
* November 2022: ''VideoGame/PokemonScarletAndViolet''. Most skins are made available about one month after the game's release, but Pokémon skins come out shortly before it. As ''VideoGame/PokemonSwordAndShield'' got one, as did ''VideoGame/PokemonLegendsArceus'', both of them a few weeks before release, I predict this one would too.

* Summer 2021: ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyo''. This would be a cross promotion with ''Puyo Puyo Tetris 2'' once the last DLC comes out for that game.
* Late 2021:
''[[VideoGame/MetroidPrimeTrilogy Metroid Prime 4]]''. Assuming it's released for the holidays, but Retro Studios would almost certainly need more time.

Certainly, the skin themed on ''VideoGame/FireEmblemThreeHouses'' shows Intelligent Systems will allow ''Tetris 99'' skins, so a Paper Mario theme is not too far off.

It didn't name TheTetrisEffect for nothing. Tetris has no real right to be as addictive as it. Instead of watching the news, educating yourself, or meeting girls, you were playing Tetris, which has no RealLife application. Tetris was invented to weaken the united states, one citizen at a time, making it easier to take over in 20 or 30 years.
