Glen-i Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago (edited) Application's are open, I got in. Whether I get selected is a different matter, but still, get on that sharpish. EDIT: Edited 3 hours ago by Glen-i 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcubed Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Why did Nintendo even bother to make the application window go on for 5 days? It’s just going to be a page that delivers nothing but constant disappointment for almost an entire week now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glen-i Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Well, I guess it falls to me (and @Dcubed) then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Julius Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago Actually mental that Nintendo UK updated with a tweet so quickly too: They totally knew what was about to happen Looking forward to hearing what the fuss is about @Glen-i @Dcubed, keep us posted!

Dcubed Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago BTW, I spotted something on the confirm page before I scrambled to smash the button… … whatever this thing is, it’s gonna need 2.2GB of storage space. So it probably isn’t anything to do with Cloud streaming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcubed Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Shoot! Are me and @Glen-i the only ones who got in? Surely not! Come on guys! Don’t tell me we’re stuck with whatever this thing is alone!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted 2 hours ago Author Share Posted 2 hours ago I'm trying to figure out if they'll announce it at the point the test starts or the software is going to be nondescript and they're tracking things in the background. Ain't no way in hell thousands of random people are going to abide by a NDA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it probably isn’t anything to do with Cloud streaming. Nintendo have worked with S-E to compress and bring Advent Children to the Switch, with touch-ups via streaming, there's your Cloud [life]streaming 2.2GB is kind of an odd size, right? I feel like it counts things out like a new system for Switch Online because of the size of games after the N64 fluctuating so much, unless they gave you, say, GameCube Switch Online and one game comes installed with it but it otherwise served as a launcher to download games to? I don't think anyone thinks it'll be that but I feel like we can reasonably count that out. It also seems pretty hefty for an Activity Log or Miiverse replacement, even if we add a bunch of bells and whistles, that'd be a whole lot of bells and whistles you'd need to add in order to get to that sort of size. Hmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcubed Posted 2 hours ago Share Posted 2 hours ago Guys… what if… … that would certainly explain the 2.2GB size… Just think of the microtransactions! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't no way in hell thousands of random people are going to abide by a NDA. I think they'll just come out and say what it is, wouldn't be all that surprised if whatever it was ends up being previewed by the press ahead of time and when it lands we see some previews go up alongside it. Because yeah, I totally agree, there's no way to NDA so many random participants. 20 minutes ago, Julius said: 2.2GB is kind of an odd size, right?

I don't think anyone thinks it'll be that but I feel like we can reasonably count that out. I'm coming back to this – they're calling it a "Playtest". I kind of do feel like it has to be related to the act of playing games. Testing out the reception to and feedback for a potential DS NSO? Every way I imagine it would be weird so I could see why you might want feedback for that, and I guess it would fit the file size. A Game Pass trial run, so this is more of a beta so they can prep for an actual Game Pass launch on the system? Some NSO feature like voice chat on the Switch without the mobile app? Some new, larger NSO-only game? Edited 2 hours ago by Julius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
