Mystery NSO Playtest Program announced

Cuh, you wait ages for Nintendo to make an announcement and you get two of them in the same day (and neither of them are the one you're expecting)

Thoughts?

Maybe it's something they'll plan on implementing to a greater extent for the next console? I don't have any idea what it would be, however.

Nintendo wins years best tease. We just want the Switch 2 ;w; Interested to see what this is about though.

Well, registrations for this were filled up pretty much instantly from what I can gather. I'm not too surprised that lots of people wanted to jump in and test this, lol. I know I would've registered if it wasn't already filled up by the time I could access it. I'm definitely curious to see what this new feature is once playtesting goes live and people start to share what it is.

Managed to get in myself by basically refreshing the page as soon as it hit 4PM my time. The link to accept the terms and conditions wasn't working so I wasn't sure if I was going to make it, but I think I managed to get in just in the nick of time... and this was only a minute or 2 past 4!

We'll know more about it on the 21st at some point, but yes, very exciting, and very curious!

The expansion pass has lost me.

The output of new content wasn't justifying the yearly payment for me.

This is a nice incentive for those who have it though.

I wonder if it is to test multiplayer, or to test how the switch connects to the next console, through the NOS.
