Okay, so you know that game Super Mario Galaxy? Well, we don't want to risk getting sued for using real pictures, so let's just leave that topic alone. But, have you heard about the mysterious new game from Nintendo? Apparently, it's been leaked by some playtesters and it's not at all what anyone was expecting.
People are speculating that it could be news about the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2, but there's more to this mystery. Nintendo recently announced a "Playtest Program" that they claim is related to a new feature for their Nintendo Switch Online service. However, they haven't given any other details, leaving us all in the dark.
Our initial guess was that it could be some kind of network stress test for a new game. And it turns out, we were right. The playtest involves over 10,000 people and some of them have already leaked information about the game. From what we know so far, it's going to be a massive multiplayer game where players work together to build a virtual planet.
The interesting thing is, the game doesn't have a name yet. But, screenshots of the help pages for the playtest have been circulating on social media. And you know they're legit because Nintendo is busy taking them down. Although, it's kind of pointless since so many people have already seen them.
One of the leakers even made a plea before sharing the images, saying "Hope Nintendo doesn't kill me for this." Let's just say, they probably won't be getting any Christmas cards from Nintendo this year. And if we were to repost the images, we'd probably get in trouble too. But, let's be real, they're not that hard to find if you know where to look.
So, what exactly is this game? Well, no one has actually played it yet, so it's hard to say for sure. But, from what we can gather, it involves collecting resources and battling enemies. Players work together on different parts of the planet until it's fully developed, and then they move on to the next section.
We're not sure how long it takes to finish a planet, but there's also a social hub area where players can chat and interact with each other. It's a pretty complex game, with leveling up and acquiring items, which makes it even more surprising that it's being released at the end of the Nintendo Switch's lifespan.
This leads us to believe that the game will also be playable on the rumored Switch 2, possibly even from launch. And the social hub could be a replacement for Miiverse, the social hub that was on the Wii U. It's definitely not what anyone was expecting from Nintendo, it almost sounds like something Peter Molyneux would come up with.
There are still a lot of unanswered questions, like what the game will be called and when Nintendo will officially announce it. But, the biggest mystery right now is how they thought they could keep all of this under wraps. I mean, come on, with over 10,000 people involved, it was bound to get leaked.
So far, the only official information we have is to email them, leave a comment, follow them on Twitter, and sign up for their newsletter. They even have a Submit Stuff page for easier submissions. Oh, and don't forget to sign up for their exclusive gaming content and get the latest releases before anyone else. But hey, don't worry, your information is safe with their privacy policy. Phew.
