Nintendo’s mysterious Playtest begins to leak


The suprise has been spoiled, but many questions remain.

Nintendo has updated the official website for its mysterious “ Switch Online: Playtest Program ” today, privately revealing more information to participants about what it entails. While Nintendo has already started issuing copyright strikes to take leaked media offline, screenshots and information about the playtest are still available across websites like Xand Reddit at the time of writing. The IP is either entirely new (in that it doesn’t feature any recognizable Nintendo characters) or it’s a placeholder for the game system itself — meaning it could be part of an existing franchise at release.
