I'll admit I can't use any other weapon than the roller, and my wife is the same. But I wouldn't want to use another one anyway because I'm more interested in the painting than the splatting. The roller is the best painting weapon.

"Six special one-hour playtimes!"
Why do they do this shit?! How about having an open beta for a whole weekend?

3 weeks, might be a little longer this time.
Unless it's time for a shadow drop.

Never forget! SplatGAF never forgets!
Definitely won't have a Switch this early in the game, but I myself am hyped that Nintendo are doing this. Definitely a good way to drum up some extra interest for the early adopters!
... the painful wait between the testfire and release is gonna be harsh on some squids here, that's for sure.

Of course they announce this right after my wife and I cancel our redundant second Switch console pre-order because we won't need it for a few months.

server stress test. limiting 1 hour in specific time period is kinda a good way to stress test whether your server can handle high volume of connections
ah. I thought it's more than 1 month last time haha

My guess is that what they need for their tests of their new network infrastructure.

Cause they're trying to stress test the severs, having everyone rush online at once at a certain time its a perfect way to test that.

Boy it sure is weird that all the matchmaking for this global testfire is going to be handled on an app that wont exist yet, huh. Isn't that right, everyone of you impossibly obtuse members claiming even the possibility that something as basic as matchmaking of any sort for any online switch title would be exclusively handled outside of each piece of software individually on a fucking companion app?
