NINTENDO'S ONLINE PLAYTEST REVEALED Anonymous 10/21/2024 (Mon) 05:57:53 Id: 4d1d8f No. 1030217
Nintendo’s mystery online test is a Minecraft-like MMO https://archive.md/bdv0K Last week, Nintendo announced the Switch Online Playtest Program, a mysterious playtest for Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack members who were lucky enough to sign up (and live in one of the participating countries). With codes now going out, we finally know what it is. Simply called the Nintendo Switch Online Playtest Program, it’s a new game where the goal is to work with others to fully “develop” a massive, expansive planet by utilizing creativity and farmed resources. As you progress across the planet, you’ll discover new lands, enemies, and resources to aid you on your journey. As you play through the game, you’ll receive special tools called Beacons. These Beacons emit a healing light that purifies and develops the land. The higher your Beacon is placed, the wider the area it purifies. Within your Beacon Zone, you can move, lift, and edit items. In this zone, you can create whatever you like: platforms, stairs, Minecraft-like blocks, trees, and other items, as shown in the screenshots. However, you can only edit your own zone, not anyone else’s nearby. Areas outside of the Beacon Zones are public spaces where anyone can work and place items. The game also features a Dev Core, a separate area from the planet that serves as a social hub where players gather. Here, you can level up your character, which resembles a cross between a Fall Guy and Pushmo. Every player has a special skill called the Development Positioning System (DPS), which allows them to see the development status of the planet and the position of other players. Anyone can create content for the game, but you must first earn a UGC license to do so — essentially to prove you’re not going to cause trouble. “To create UGC, you must obtain a UGC License by taking a test in the game to show that you understand the importance of respectful communication.” We have chosen not to share any screenshots of the game, as it is hidden behind the player agreement. Australia and New Zealand were not included in the list of participating countries, so we’ll have to sit back and watch as those lucky enough to join enjoy it. The playtest kicks off at 12:00 PM (noon) AEDT this Thursday. What will this turn into? A brand new IP, or is it just an experiment, or perhaps a test for Nintendo’s networking? We’ll have to wait and see.

>>1030217 Apperently there's gameplay clips and such all over the place.
Somebody streamed like an hour of it, it was live at the time but I haven't seen any clips since. It looked early in development
>>1031227 I just hope they port it to PC considering that console MMOs never take off.
>>1031248 >console MMOs never take off. Final Fantasy 14
>>1031249 That game was also on PC. I was going to say that FF XI was a console MMO, but checking kikepedia, it also got a PC release, and had cross-platform play with PS2.
>>1030217 >To create UGC, you must obtain a UGC License by taking a test in the game to show that you understand the importance of respectful communication >Australia and New Zealand were not included in the list of participating countries Top kek.
>>1031248 Dragon quest X took off in japan.
>>1031278 Yeah but Dragon Quest is like the most popular JRPG ever with consistent quality (from my understanding). It's not like Final Fantasy where they've been trying to make it into an action game. The DQ team always had a solid idea of what to do.
>>1031278 It released on PC 13 months after Wii.
>>1031273 Even Japan knows of our legendary Aussie shit-talking and piss-taking.
>>1031260 >>1031332 There is/was a sizable amount of players for the FF and DQ MMO's on console, they even put DQX it on the 3DS. Also PSO2 was on the PS Vita even and has a gay Switch streamed version. Also like 1/3 of my FFXIV friends list is on PS4/5. I think it's safe to say that console MMOs do fine when implemented correctly.
>>1031700 >>1031700 Perhaps, although I think a PC port is needed to populate the base. Especially when it comes to something like an MMO which are usually always on PC.
>>1030217 playtest?, more like paytest
>>1031700 Is Dragon Quest X: Rise of the Five Tribes Offline in English yet?
>>1031700 The PS Vita version of PSO2 is the gayest version since it did what stopkillinggames.com tries to prevent and shut down. You're also gay for advertising a dead game that fucked its customers. >>1032722 The Dragon Quest Wiki says Five Tribes Offline was only localized to Korea and China. Online is translated by the DQX translation project through dqxclarity.
>>1032725 I only found a fan translation, incomplete so I didn't download it.
