Hero-of-Time Posted Monday at 05:35 AM Share Posted Monday at 05:35 AM (edited) Details from that online playtest thingy have been leaked. Seems like some social online game/experiment. Certainly not up my alley of interest. Edited Monday at 06:44 AM by Hero-of-Time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted Monday at 09:51 AM Author Share Posted Monday at 09:51 AM Well I guess that hopefully means that the Switchatwo will have improved online services. Maybe even, heaven forbid, voice chat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MindFreak Posted Monday at 10:03 AM Share Posted Monday at 10:03 AM (edited) Seems like a new Miiverse / Miitopia with simulation elements. But yeah, not my kind of thing. Edited Monday at 10:04 AM by MindFreak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcubed Posted Monday at 04:02 PM Share Posted Monday at 04:02 PM (edited) Well... I can't get in right now. Says that the number of current online players exceeds the maximum supported by the game. Not quite sure how they managed to have more players than expected, considering that they artificially capped the number of participants at 10,000, but there ya go! BTW, something worth noting. I took a cheeky look at the Intellectual Property Notices tab on the Home Menu and I reckon that this is an internally developed first party EPD game. It has all the same tech notices as what the games made on EPD's own in-house engine tend to have (Immersion, Havok, FSR 1.0 etc), so it seems to be running on the same engine as the likes of BOTW, TOTK and Splatoon 3... So whatever this is, it seems to be a proper EPD game! Edited Monday at 04:04 PM by Dcubed 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a Nintendo online thing. Are you really that surprised. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedShell Posted Monday at 04:32 PM Share Posted Monday at 04:32 PM Looks/sounds really cool. I see most people aren't too fussed about missing out on the test now that it's been revealed, but I'm actually slightly more annoyed that I didn't get in now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killthenet Posted Monday at 05:17 PM Share Posted Monday at 05:17 PM The test period doesn't start until Thursday at 2am so that's why we can't get on at the moment Definitely not what I was expecting, and probably not my kind of thing, but I'm looking forward to trying it out. It looks quite bare bones visually, I wonder if it will be a new IP or if the final version will be tied to one of their established franchises when it is formally revealed Either way I think it will be core to the Switch 2's online and social features, like a central social hub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcubed Posted Monday at 07:17 PM Share Posted Monday at 07:17 PM Oh wait, I’m dumb. I didn’t even notice that it doesn’t start until the 24th… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcubed Posted Tuesday at 11:00 AM Share Posted Tuesday at 11:00 AM (edited) The final Sakurai on Creating Games video is now up! Edit: Sakurai confirmed that he started working on a new game in April 2022! That's insane that he was working on both the channel and his new game at the same time for two whole years!
