When Nintendo opened the gates to its upcoming Nintendo Switch Online play test to successful participants, it didn’t take long for the secret content to be spread all over social media.

Currently, if you search any terms related to the playtest on social media, you will immediately be greeted with information and screenshots that provide crucial context about the upcoming playtest. Of course, we won’t publish such content here on Nintendo Life, but if it’s something you really want to know, you won’t have a particularly hard time finding important information.

There are numerous posts revealing explicit playtest details, but Nintendo is clearly trying to crack down on those sharing screenshots online. Take @Ethan_ThisGuy’s post above for example: Every image included in the post has been hit with a copyright strike from Nintendo.

But did Nintendo really believe that this could contain all the details about the upcoming playtest mystery? Hasn’t he heard of the Internet? Even before information was provided to successful applicants, many assumed the details would be shared online within minutes, if not seconds. Of course, that’s exactly what happened.

At least it’s an indication of how much more will be revealed once playtesting actually begins. We expect lots of videos, pictures and information to hit the internet once everything gets going November 24thSo if you didn’t get in, you probably at least have a good idea of ​​what’s going on.
