Ashley Posted April 13, 2017 Posted April 13, 2017 Yellow, Blue and Red Joy-Cons... Pokémon Stars confirmed! (Yes yes it was Green in Japan)
nekunando Posted April 13, 2017 Posted April 13, 2017 Oooooh. I'm gonna get me some yellow Joy-Cons for sure! Yeh.. I really want some too My original vision was to have the Neon Blue Joy-Con L and Neon Red Joy-Con R that came with the system joined by a Neon Yellow Joy-Con L and Neon Green Joy-Con R to have 2 'complete' controllers or 4 'mini' controllers but seing the Yellow Joy-Cons come in a set is making me consider picking up the Snipperclips bundle so that, in the near future, I'd have complete red, blue and yellow controllers or variations of each! Hmm.. money..
ArtMediocre Posted April 13, 2017 Posted April 13, 2017 In the new Direct trailer at 1:17 you can see some new and unannounced characters. Neogaf touched on the pictures and this is what they found: Looks like more Robot characters, and a new girl. Looking good! And I just gotta say... Minmin is looking awesome, like all the other characters in this game. Her hat works as a ramen bowl, just pointing that out ;D.
nekunando Posted April 16, 2017 Posted April 16, 2017 I think ARMS is going to be a lot of fun to play and the training game we saw during the Direct actually brought up great memories of games like Wii Sports and Link's Crossbow Training while the Punch-Out vibes are encouraging It doesn't seem to be fun to watch, though, so I wonder if that could potentially discourage people from trying it out for themselves!
Jamba Posted April 16, 2017 Posted April 16, 2017 I played this this morning. Had quite a lot of fun but I really do wonder how much staying power it has. Unless theres more game modes then Nintendo are asking way too much for this. Feels like theres £15 worth of content.
Ashley Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 The subscriber cover is great, but then I am partial to vibrant colours. Looking forward to picking it up on my next commute up north.
Hero-of-Time Posted May 1, 2017 Posted May 1, 2017 I've just seen this over on Gaf. Some new info has appeared in the AUS eshop about ARMS. It says that the number of players online and locally is 2-8.We have seen 2v2 and 1v1,but not 4v4 or 2v2v2v2 or 1v1v1v1v1v1v1v1.This is either a mistake, an accidental reveal, a tease or Nintendo is pulling our legs. If it is an accidental reveal well whoever is behind those eshop updates might be fired. Think of the chaos! I had trouble keeping up with what was going on in a 1v1 match never mind keeping track of an 8 player battle.
bob Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 Did anyone used to play the boxing mini game in Super Monkey Ball 2? The four player mode in that was hilarious. I can only imagine how brilliant an 8 player mode would be.

I can only imagine how brilliant an 8 player mode would be. Yup. Both Monkey Fight and Monkey Target were standard games to played whenever me and my mates got together for a gaming night, back in the Cube era.
nekunando Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 If there is 8 player in ARMS, will we see bigger and more complex stages that play a little more like a shooter..?
Josh64 Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 Each character has their own set of supporters http://nintendoeverything.com/arms-each-fighter-has-their-own-set-of-supporters/ Dem tshirt textures though And the character models look like they're ripped from Luigis Mansion
Dcubed Posted May 18, 2017 Posted May 18, 2017 http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2017/05/17/17-details-from-our-extensive-hands-on-with-arms-on-nintendo-switch.aspx We didn’t get to dive too deep into this, but if you hit the Watch Replay option after a match, it looks like there are a lot of editing options for what you see. You can change camera angles, watch back moments in slow-motion, and more. ARMS basically has MKTV! Not a huge surprise considering that both games share the same people who worked on it, but still great to see! Should make for some nice highlight video making material
nekunando Posted May 22, 2017 Posted May 22, 2017 I'm going to be ready for a new Switch game by the time ARMS gets released next month so I've decided to preorder the game I think it's going to be a lot of fun and I'm really appreciating the 'Dreamcast' vibe I'm getting from it
Hero-of-Time Posted May 26, 2017 Posted May 26, 2017 I'm really looking forward to trying this out tomorrow. I doubt i'll get up for the 1am test but i'll certainly be putting time into the other sessions. Sad story. I actually fired it up last weekend thinking that the beta was starting then. I left disappointed.

Glen-i Posted May 26, 2017 Posted May 26, 2017 I might give it a shot. Then again, Pokemon Sun is having an online tournament this week, and that just seems more appealing at the moment. I'm getting the same impression with this that I got in the run-up to Splatoon. Nothing about it excites me. That title screen music makes me want to rip my eardrums out. Which is worrying, because at least Splatoon had OK music.
Hero-of-Time Posted May 26, 2017 Posted May 26, 2017 Surprisingly I'm still awake. I guess I'll give the 1am test session a try.
killthenet Posted May 26, 2017 Posted May 26, 2017 I'll be trying it out too, might see you on there.
nekunando Posted May 26, 2017 Posted May 26, 2017 I'm barely awake but I'm gonna give this a quick go before bed
killthenet Posted May 27, 2017 Posted May 27, 2017 I had fun playing it but not with the motion controls, I never felt like I had full control of the character. Had a much better time after switching to button controls and won a few matches. Everything is really slick and fun, in the lobby you can see how the other fights are progressing or just do some practice while you wait for your match to be arranged. Visually the game is really impressive, I'll definitely be trying out the test punch more over the weekend but I'm still not sure if it's my kind of game. I do think it will be a success though, it seems to have all the right ingredients.
Hero-of-Time Posted May 27, 2017 Posted May 27, 2017 I'm not keen on the control setup. I'm hoping I can configure it to something more to my tastes in the full game. I'm a bit disappointed that the beta is like Splatoons in that you can't hook up with people in your friends list. Another thing that is annoying ( again, Splatoon did this ) is where the home button is disabled when in a lobby. I was wanting to see who else was playing and had to back out of the lobby I was in and in doing so you lose your consecutive match bonus. It's not an issue here as you can't play with friends but it's gonna be a pain in the full game, especially if there's no invite system. I played around with the ninja, the ramen girl and the lass driving the mech. I seem to do best with the mech girl. She's a little slower than the other two I was using but she has some decent arm setups that allow me to stay further back from the fight. I do like being able to do something while waiting for a match. It's a very similar setup to what Capcom has in place in the more recent Street Fighter games.
