UPDATE: You can now register to take part in this weekend’s Beta. You’ll need a Nintendo Switch Online account and you can do so here. It appears that this will only be available for a limited amount of time, so get in quick. You’ll then get a download code to plug into your Switch. Thanks to our friends at Vooks for the heads-up.
Not only did Nintendo announce Nintendo Switch Sports, which is a follow up to Wii Sports, they also announced that there will be an online beta happening in just over a week.
