Gaming News Here’s a very interesting theory about Nintendo’s secret testing program… It could be used for the potential online mode of this fan-favorite RPG
Nintendo is hiding a lot of things at the moment. The Switch successor project is not the only ongoing secret project: just yesterday, 10,000 people completed their participation in an online test program. One theory is that this experience could be used in a recently announced game…
A huge global program
10,000 Switch owners had the opportunity to take part Nintendo’s Playtest program. A very serious project since the players had to sign a non-disclosure agreement with the company. Despite this ban, some people appear to have leaked information about the content of this program. Rumor has it that the test took place on a planet occupied by multiple players. Everyone had to work together to expand the scope of exploitation of this area. Participants could then craft, farm, fight, and explore new areas. A gameplay very close to what we know from Minecraft or Roblox.

If some think that this collective experience will be used for a new license, MegaMotionCDa YouTuber, however, on display a very interesting hypothesis about a game just announced: Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition. The videographer notes that the gameplay of the playtest and Monolith Studio’s game are both based on colonization, exploitation and exploration. We also find the basic mechanics in the two experiments.
Do tomorrow what was impossible yesterday
Why should Nintendo’s test be used for the Xenoblade Chronicles X remaster? The answer is simple: In 2015, Monolith Soft was unable to realize all of its ideas due to the limitations of the Wii U. Many features of the online mode would have been removed from the game released in 2015. Xenoblade Chronicles finally managed to achieve what was impossible with the Wii U software.
MegaMotionCD points this out Nintendo has never seriously worked to improve the online modes of its titles. This is proven, for example, by technical problems with games like Super Mario Maker 2 or server problems with Smash Bros. Ultimate. These past problems could well serve as lessons for Nintendo’s future, as the existence of the Playtest proves. Xenoblade Chronicles March 20, 2025, on Switch. The console is selling less well The Japanese company decided in its latest quarterly report to lower its forecasts from 13.5 million sales to 12.5 million by the end of March 2025.
