178 We Have to Talk About Nintendo's Weird MMO Playtest

Episode Summary

Leaked in record time.

Episode Notes

Some lucky Nintendo fans took part in a TOP SECRET online test for a new game, and were SWORN to SECRECY about it! Which means gameplay was leaked within 1.5 seconds.

Data miners excavated something codenamed "Rockstock," and as the playtest rolled out, images and videos of the blocky new build-em-up spreading across the Internet - much to the dismay of Nintendo.

So, what is this brand new MMO? And does it have the chops to stick around after the initial excitement wears off?
