Some kind of language test? It includes the countries of Europe that usually get versions of games translated into their languages.

I don't think so. You need to have the Expansion Pack to even participate. At least I hope that's not it lol. I just signed up. Looks like it got full in just 2 minutes after going live lol. But a language test doesn't sound like a "new feature" that Nintendo is claiming it to be.

Was thinking more along the lines of demos or even Beta testing since it’s called ‘Playtest program’, but I don’t know.
