Nintendo is making a strand type game where you develop a planet with other players

In this game, the goal is to work with others to fully "develop" a massive, expansive planet by utilizing creativity and farmed resources.

As you progress across the planet, you'll discover new lands, enemies and resources that will become essential to your journey.

Throughout your journey, players will be granted special cowtools known as Beacons. The higher your Beacon is placed, the wider its Beacon Zone becomes. Within your Beacon Zone, your best work can be done.

Players will repeat the process until their current Planetary Block is considered fully developed.

The Dev Core is a separate place from the planet you'll be developing. Think of it as a social hub to gather with other players.

At the Dev Core, you can level up your character, get items you will need for your journey, commune with others, and more.

About a couple weeks ago Nintendo announced they were recruiting for a special, secret online test. No details were given at the time so this is our first look at what it will even be.

I was eligible but of course I forgot to actually apply on time. It looks kinda fun so I hope they eventually roll it out to a wider release.
