In single-hour blocks on different days? What the hell? Just turn it on for a weekend - if you can't meet their weird-ass schedule of 11am and 5pm, you're basically screwed.

You can download the ARMS beta on the Switch eShop, but it will only play on two specific hours over the course of a few days.

I can see it if they are testing surge activity for their online Network. If everybody is scrambling to get in at once, they can see how their infrastructure handles it and adjust accordingly.

Frankly that sounds like a poor way to test load bearing. It's going to be a very small percentage of people that participate, and an even smaller number that play at the right time.

I'm pretty sure they've said this is the case. Maybe it will change if the userbase number increases to the point where it's not needed. Or maybe that's just plain how they prefer to test the servers.
