You might as well ask whether the sun will riseI wonder if people will talk about it online.
Will it? (Let's be philosophical)You might as well ask whether the sun will rise![]()
ain't even gonna take that. people will be streaming this shitSome people here got in right? Hope someone can tell us what it is about, at least on dm’s? Please! Lmao
Does it? I know there's an update scheduled for today but the actual playtest doesn't begin until the 23rd in the US.Playstest will start in about 7 hours from now.
I think this is just the download. It says it starts on the 23rd on my application page.Playstest will start in about 7 hours from now.

You are both right, thanks for pointing it out.I think this is just the download. It says it starts on the 23rd on my application page.
Never heard of that before. What is that exactly? Or do you mean the free game trials? But those are always a full week, sometimes more.They already have "Free game weekends" in place where you can download a title and have full access for a weekend if your membership is in good standing, and then they can revoke the access on Monday night.
Since we are not supposed to talk about the playtest, I could see both options play out.So do we expect Nintendo to announce this new NSO feature before the playtest, or are they actually going to shadowdrop the feature with the playtest itself?
Apparently it mentions somewhere that save data carries over. So it might be an actual game intended for a wider release.So I’m just gonna up and ask:
*** Hidden text: cannot be quoted. ***
Looking at it again, no.Apparently it mentions somewhere that save data carries over. So it might be an actual game intended for a wider release.
Though I do think its interesting that we don't even know the name of the game, we got screenshots and some gameplay details. But not an actual name.
Don't hesitate to share your theories, you are not bond to anything after allLooks...intriguing. I sincerely doubt the art assets are in any way indicative of what the final product will be. I have a few theories of what this could actually end up being but I dunno how much of that is OK to discuss, although I personally am not in the program.
Well alrighty, here goes nuttin.Don't hesitate to share your theories, you are not bond to anything after all![]()
Right, I agree with this. It’s also possible that they’re working on something and these cavemen are simply placeholder assets for testing because using any iconography at all would give things away and cause people to speculate and expect things.It definitely feels like a Nintendo way of using placeholders for another one, and making this « game » for this purpose.
i mean they already did this in the past, at least for graphics like using Tofu for Splatoon.
Playtest will start in 2 days, we'll hear/see more very soon.If the beta test isn't for some streaming service, the title of this thread needs some updating
Anyway, haven't seen any actual leaked footage of the test, so looking forward to proper reveal of... whatever that thing is.
Assuming final *release* requires a NSO sub, which is very likely, its expected to be cross-gen. Most of their NSO subs will be on OG Switch for the next couple years, so i dont see them investing in massive projects or systems that are Switch 2 only.*definitely gonna be a cross-gen game. will be interesting to see how Nintendo updates this over time
aye, I've been saying they need more incentive to have NSO than just old games and some a handful of multiplayer gamesAssuming final *release* requires a NSO sub, which is very likely, its expected to be cross-gen.

Probably one of a couple big incentives to push NSO subs and lock users more to the eco system, reasons to play on actual hardware and sub to their services. We are gonna see more of that.
I love those little remixed games though, like F-Zero, Pacman and Tetris, it's such a great idea to remix them into battle royale retro games.Assuming final *release* requires a NSO sub, which is very likely, its expected to be cross-gen.

Panel de Pon 99! when?I love those little remixed games though, like F-Zero, Pacman and Tetris, it's such a great idea to remix them into battle royale retro games.
Wait, what game went very very wrong?aye, I've been saying they need more incentive to have NSO than just old games and some a handful of multiplayer games
an MMO-like is a big jump in that direct and we just seen how it could go so very very wrong
This feels the most likely, when you see the concepts, hear the musics, EPD 4 is the candidate for this kind of projects.I think this entire concept sounds very interesting. What development team is expected to be behind this? EPD 4?
Blue ProtocolWait, what game went very very wrong?
Ah, that's my bad. I've only played 3 of them, and I thought they had all been Thursday morning through Monday night deals, but looking back at my email it looks like they were all either Tuesday morning through Monday night or Wednesday morning through Tuesday night, but Nintendo didn't send me any promotional emails about them until Thursday or Friday afternoon when 2.5 out of the 7 days had already passed, and I had unconsciously labeled them in my head as trials that lasted a "long weekend" (they were actually all over holiday weekends too, so I was already predisposed to be thinking of those as long weekends).Never heard of that before. What is that exactly? Or do you mean the free game trials? But those are always a full week, sometimes more.
That'd sure be some Lateral Thinking With Withered Technology™!One interesting guess I've hears is that Nintendo may try to make a more interactive Miiverse. Essentially a metaverse two years after the fad has dies but actually good.
Jesus Christ how has this not happened yet? This would be the sweatiest game of all time.Panel de Pon 99! when?
Since the test is playable on Switch, it will be cross-gen at least. NSO needs to be enticing on both platforms until the transition is deemed over.Well, if this game is indeed developed by EPD4, then I wonder if they have any exclusive game ready for Switch 2 launch at all?

Yes thats for sure. But I think this means most probably that no exclusive EPD4-casual-title will be ready for Switch 2 launch (so no equivalent title to Switch Sports, 1-2 Switch etc.). I also wonder if beacon game will be ready so soon at all. If Switch 2 would launch in April / May 2025, then I dont think that Beacon game belongs to launch lineup as a crossgen title. The game seems to be far away from finalized / finished state
