Do you want to be one of the 10,000 people who participate in Nintendo’s mysterious new “Playtest Program” for Nintendo Switch Online? If you meet the criteria, you can apply for the playtest from the “To application page” link on Nintendo’s website starting today at 11AM ET / 8AM PT.

Yesterday, Nintendo announced that a Switch Online playtest for some mysterious "new feature" would be accepting sign-ups from October 10 through October 15. At least, that was the plan. Less than seven minutes after those sign-ups went live, Nintendo said they were all filled up.

As people continue waiting patiently for official news of the Switch 2, Nintendo has taken the unusual step of rolling out a public testing program for a secret new piece of Switch software. It filled up in seconds as players eagerly signed up to be guinea pigs for whatever the Mario maker is cooking up.
