If you remember, a few days ago we told you that nintendo was looking for volunteers to try something they had called Playtest Program. To do this, they recruited players who signed up on their official website and who had to meet a couple of requirements: be over 18 years old and have a subscription to NMayor Online in addition to the expansion pack and, only then, could they be considered eligible to enter that secret game (or games) that would be behind such a mysterious way of working.
Because we must admit that we have rarely seen the Japanese looking for volunteers to test one of their new releases and when something like this happens, there are two options that can arise: either they are not sure that what they are doing is going to be liked or they are a little bit stuck because they don’t know where to go next in the development of a future franchise. Something that, given the trajectory of the parents of Mario It seems to us almost a metaphysical impossibility that it could even occur.
What is the Nintendo Playtest Program in the end?
Well, as many of us feared, in the end, with so many players being selected, it was logical to think that leaks would occur and these have come through captures that let us see where that guy’s shots are going. Playtest Programwhich looks like the Japanese want to have on their consoles (the current Switch and the next one, when they launch it) a franchise similar to minecraft (which is capable of working on an old PC).
Yes, don’t think it’s anything more far-fetched. According to some users who have already shared their experiences and the images that the user has leaked CarsonLeetvit is clear that the game will allow us to build and manage elements squared on screen to build our own world as we want, thanks to a character who, at least in this first phase of testing, looks like an astronaut.
So the game is what you imagine, a development inspired by the success of minecraft and with a very high multiplayer component, where it is assumed that we will be able to share creations and game territory with other friends who connect. So Nintendo finally decides to offer a concept capable of competing with other sagas that have been consolidating massively on practically all consoles and computers on the planet.
The big doubt about this Nintendo Playtest Program
Obviously, after seeing these images we are left with many questions that have no answers today, such as what the name of the game will be, if the characters that now appear looking like astronauts will end up being replaced by other company classics, such as Mario , Luigi, Peach, etc., and if we can expect its launch to be relatively soon or the Japanese have decided to leave it for when their next generation of Switch hits stores.
Many questions but some great background news: nintendo wants his own minecraft (or something similar) and is putting all the effort into achieving it. So we have to wait.
