Motion or traditional controls for you guys?
Think I'm getting a Switch for the family for Christmas. |

Motion all the way. For me, that's the entire point of a game like ARMS.

The new Dragon Ball Z fighting game shown at E3 could end up also having a Switch version made if there is high enough demand online according to the producer of the game. Right now its only being developed for PC, PS4, and Xbox One. Also wouldn't arrive at a much later date than the other platforms if it does end up being made.
https://www.destructoid.com/dragon-b...h-443566.phtml In other Dragon Ball related news, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 was announced to be arriving on the Switch on September 7th for Japan and likely around the same date for other regions. https://www.destructoid.com/dragon-b...n-443593.phtml Nintendo recently released a chart of some of the major games arriving for the Switch (and 3DS) during the rest of this year.

Discord currently interested in working with Nintendo for the Switch's chat services. Right now they want fans to generate enough interest online in the idea so they can persuade Nintendo on a partnership being made.

Why'd I buy Xenoverse 2 on Steam? Dumbass.

Saw this post on reddit.. it's in Japanese so w/e
http://www.4gamer.net/games/117/G011794/20170621102/ Apparently ARMS sold 100k copies in Japan in its first week (technically 3 days I think). Pretty impressive |

Tekken 7 sold less than that with 58,736. In fact, Arms debuted about the same as Tekken 7 and Street Fighter V's launches combined.

To be fair, Tekken 7 did spend a long time at the arcades before getting a home release so Namco already made a good chunk of money from it. Same can't be said for Street Fighter V though and think its still struggling to meet Capcom's expectations.
For a new IP, Nintendo probably is really happy with ARMS launch sales. |

Arms is super fun. Don't r3ally understand how to move (I use the motion controls) but whatever. Nice little sweat doing the grand prix.

I heard a rumor that after completing the game with all characters you could use your BOTW Zelda Amiibo to unlock her as a secret character in ARMS.

According to Nintendo, there is no Game Over screen in Super Mario Odyssey. Only punishment for getting hit/killed is a loss of 10 coins. If you have less than 10 coins and still get hit, the game will let you continue playing.
https://www.destructoid.com/game-ove...y-447035.phtml For those interested in the digital version of Splatoon 2, the game was revealed to require 3.1 GB in hard drive free space. https://www.destructoid.com/splatoon...s-446822.phtml |

Switch is currently rumored to contain an NES emulator according to console modders. Unlike with the Wii and Wii U, its embedded in the current firmware and not individual game based emulators like with the Virtual Console.

The Switch phone app for voice chat is garbage. If your screen goes off, you get booted. If you pull down the GODDAMN NOTIFICATION SHADE, you get booted.

More like fucking up various aspects of online multiplayer. Their couch multiplayer has always been solid.

I don't count couch co-op as multiplayer. That may sounds like a "STD level" of semantics to some folks, but I classify them differently.

Exactly they're different. One is multiplayer since it's been around longer so gets the defacto title and the other is online.
