Fans express their angst following the Nintendo Switch Sports Online Play Test
Firstly, a little information for those who are not aware of the details of Switch Sports.
Nintendo’s next big title is a sports simulation game, which is also the fourth major entry in the Wii Sports series. Players will have six different categories to choose from and play. There are six games namely tennis, bowling, Chambara, soccer, volleyball, and badminton.
The players will take the help of the Nintendo Switch Joy-Vons to involve themselves in the games of their preference.
Coming back to its Online Play Test, then it was conducted between February 19 through February 20. During this period, Nintendo Switch owners, who had registered for the test, were given various time slots. And depending on their region, they had to join it according to time zones and set duration.
Unfortunately, though, many fans complained regarding the Online Play Test, as soon as Nintendo posted a tweet related to the same.
Thanks to everyone who participated in the #NintendoSwitchSports Online Play Test! Your participation will help us improve the quality of the game, so we appreciate you taking the time to play. Look forward to the game's release on April 29! https://t.co/xKlv6479vP

Several fans called out the developer and publisher of Mario and Metroid for providing odd time slots. Simply put, they were unable to participate in the test. Because they missed the timings due to a time conflict.
Here are some of the furious reactions of the fans who were disappointed after the Nintendo Switch Sports Online Play Test:
The time slots were horrible! I tried to play this afternoon (US Eastcoast) and it said the event was over. 🙄

This play test was a joke, I only could connect for 15 minutes the friday because conflict of hours, and the times of saturday and sunday were not available due timeline differences. Couldn't you have leaved it 48 hours in a row?, it was that hard? 😡

The times for play were really stupid, who gets up at 6 in the morning to play a game for an hour?
