Nintendo has been doing a lot with their Nintendo Switch Online subscription service. There have been games available on there, there’s libaries of retro games, free trials of games that has been released, and so much more. So, it isn’t all that surprising that Nintendo has announced another thing for Nintendo Switch Online members.
What it is, however, may surprise you. Nintendo has announced a Nintendo Switch Online Playtest Program. Nintendo isn’t saying what it is that players will be play-testing, only that it is “related to a new feature for the Nintendo Switch Online service”, and that those who are recruited to participate will have to download exclusive software onto their Switch console. The recruitment period will be from the 10th through 15th, and the play-testing period will be from October 23rd through November 5th.

Nintendo i sit around and wait everyday, but no Switch 2 I have nothing to say.
You and everyone else, lol…
Pfft. Gotta have the Expansion Pack to qualify…
Sounds really promising on Nintendo’s part.
I’ll be super happy if they bring back Miiverse.
Me too, I miss Miiverse when I played on my Wii U, I love to share my experience with my friends on my Nintendo Switch
Interesting, I wonder what they’ll have us testing.
Prepare for the gloom Nintendo pulling a switcharoo. The switch cant be the highest selling game device if they show the switch two so soon with Christmas only a couple months away Nintendo has sales on its mind with money to be made so they keep us at bay with these little updates and a late to the party couple new games to sway Ninendo fans from jumping ship or going insane so we give in and play the waiting game day after day. Oh wait they just unveiled the switch two!!! Hickory dickory dock Oh no! its just a clock! Damn! We just got played! Back to the usual as we impatiently wait for the switch 2 to drop.
Huh. I wonder how we’ll know if we get to partake. Do we have to sign up? Or is it randomly selected and you are notified that you can opt in?
I signed up 11 minutes after submissions opened. I got a message saying that they’ve already received the maximum number of applications. Seems like if you didn’t submit the very minute that it opened today, you’re out of luck.
