Firstly, a little information for those who are not aware of the details of Switch Sports.
Nintendo’s next big title is a sports simulation game, which is also the fourth major entry in the Wii Sports series. Players will have six different categories to choose from and play. There are six games namely tennis, bowling, Chambara, soccer, volleyball, and badminton.
The players will take the help of the Nintendo Switch Joy-Vons to involve themselves in the games of their preference.
Coming back to its Online Play Test, then it was conducted between February 19 through February 20. During this period, Nintendo Switch owners, who had registered for the test, were given various time slots.

Unfortunately, though, many fans complained regarding the Online Play Test, as soon as Nintendo posted a tweet related to the same.

Several fans called out the developer and publisher of Mario and Metroid for providing odd time slots. Simply put, they were unable to participate in the test. Because they missed the timings due to a time conflict.
Here are some of the furious reactions of the fans who were disappointed after the Nintendo Switch Sports Online Play Test:
i have a complaint, why was the last platters at 3 AM???? i was so excited cause i thought it was 3pm and i spent 15 minutes waiting for it. and i realized it was 3am instead of pm. do you expect us to be up at that time? :(
Bruh I barely got to play it, literally 2/5 of the open times to play were at 3 am (6 am for me in est)
No one participated
I tried and I couldn’t play online beta and I waited for 3 days in row and nothing happened , am I only one had issue ?
