ARMS was announced during the official Switch presentation in January as a brand new IP for the system. While rumors had floated around of Nintendo working on a big new IP, it took everyone by surprise as the new title. Although some initial opinions were mixed, after various people got a chance to try the ARMS demo, most came back with a positive opinion of the game and even the motion controlled action. The title got some good screen time with the Treehouse crew after its reveal, and even a few videos showcasing the characters, but has gone somewhat quiet in actively relying information to the western fanbase. With ARMS appearing to be such a big upcoming title, why does it seem that Nintendo is so lax about showing it in action to their western audience?
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "The Nintendo Switch has been one Nintendo’s most successful systems ever, both measured by the number of units sold and the quality of its titles, but if there’s one thing this generation has been missing it would have to be the Nintendo Selects line, bringing existing titles that had paid their dues back at bargain prices. With the Switch now entering its twilight years, and there being few new titles in store for the foreseeable future, what better time could there be to bring back this tried-and-true tradition? While the actual realization of it may be doubtful given how rigid both hardware and software prices have become in recent years, that only gives us all the more reason to dream up a hypothetical lineup of our own.
For this article the specific focus will not be on those massive multi-million evergreens that the lineup would no doubt contain a few of to cement its value, but instead on games that for one reason or another fell short of their full potential the first time around and deserve a second chance to reach more players at an affordable price. Let’s get started."
I really want Xenoblade Chronicles X on the Switch, can't believe that hasen't been ported. I'm playing Skyward Sword at the moment and I'm almost finished, but it's so long and the controls are so bad, even without motion. Astral Chain is fantastic though, they should make a sequel.
Nintendo has prepared a new version 5.4.1 update for ARMS, and the official patch notes are now available.
ARMS has received its first update in five years, but we'd prefer if it got a sequel
I got the same for Splatoon 2. Nintendo's release notes should be more detailed. Interesting.
Quiet? There's a second Direct tomorrow dedicated to Arms again plus a tournament will be held at E3 for the game. That's not really being quiet in my opinion
they announce something every week for the game since January like nintendo did for smash before it came out for Wii u
Cuz they're so focused on the sales legs of their other games
I mean what else can they say about it that they haven't already?
These are the Rticles that kill me. From day one when Nintendo has a big game there going to release they. Never show the game until its close to release. They show it in the beginning people and critics talk about how bad the game looks and then they show and update and it's a different tone.
