Wtf kind of times are these wow how awful.

Why can't they just do a normal 3 day beta like other publishers but no they have to do it the Nintendo way.

I'm still upset they took the curling bomb off splat roller. That kit was so perfect.

Same. The Carbon Roller Deco in me was eyeing that weapon for so long.

Still going to use it along with everything else, but hey. Nice OT Saro! Looking forward to tomorrow.

Dunno if I want to try the dualies first or return to the roller to feel the difference. Dualie rolling looks so fun and cool, but muh roller.
 
Played some of this at the Switch preview with the Pro Controller and attached handheld mode. My main objectives going in will be to (a) get comfortable with the map toggle, which didn't click with me at all in the public demos, (b) practice with the Joy-Cons detached, which has become my ergonomic setup of choice over the past three weeks of Zelda, and (c) learn the specials.

Here's hoping the network holds up.

I'm not expecting the servers to hold up tomorrow. I remember the first test last time when the servers were down for about 50 minutes of the 60.
 
I won't have a Switch in time for this, but I WILL have time to watch all of the streams that are going to pop up from this on Twitch. 👍

Great thread, & I found out that the CST time was 2pm & not 11am, so I'm in the clear.

Bring on the Testfire!
 
why the fuck does nintendo keep doing these tight 1 hour blocks for these test fires? FFS nintendo, just do it for half a day spanning three days or something. Geesus.

The point of these things is to get as many people to play the game at a specific time as possible. They are testing the servers.

they could at least give us two hours per session. How long do the matches usually last anyway

3 minutes, but hey this is how they do it. We're lucky enough to get our hands on a newer build of the game within the first month of the Switch.

Yeah it's real frustrating after all that money we paid to get into the test. It's like they owe us something.
 
I'm ready to be a squid, and a kid!
Whyyyy just an hour. This gonna be a nightmare for me on Westcoast.

It's because the test fire isn't a demo or a "beta", they're testing the servers so to get the most out of it they want everyone playing at specific times so they can see how well the servers can hold the load.
