Virtual On Nintendo style!

I wonder how many characters are actually in the game.. Maybe special dlc characters like luffy from one piece.. Rayman..

Yup hopefully a variety. Game looks super fun though.

Evo 2017 games confirmed.

One extra game chosen by voting, ARMS in the list:

http://shoryuken.com/2017/01/24/evolution-...te-for-the-9th/

That'll be interesting to see how they going to set up Switch in a tournament environment. Though UMvC3 is leading right now followed by Pokken.

Yup it's quite unlikely Arms will make it to Evo, but would have been interesting to see. It's bound to happen sooner or later though.

they can just force button controls only

LMAO that's a seriously annoying character.

Preordered this

Arms Nintendo Direct set for May 17

http://gematsu.com/2017/05/arms-nintendo-direct-set-may-17

testpunch next week-end and another one.
8 am, 7 pm & 2 am on the following day
someone might need to doublecheck on the 1st 2 timing as I just go by my memory

The Direct seals the deal for me. I'm not a big fighting game fan but this one will definitely be different unlike most fighting games with a bunch of combo combinations and shit lol. Gonna be fun, and the free dlc update makes the deal even sweeter.

Makes me interested as well..

hmm...



now I'm also interested

wonder if Ninty will censor off the backside victory pose as well

Pre-ordered before Direct, now waiting it arrives sooner.

The Direct got me to order Splatoon 2 as well although I yet to have fibre internet available I'd play the single player first.

Yeah both this and Splatoon a must buy for me. Can't wait tbh.

I'm just wondering, what's the experience like playing this game in handheld or tabletop mode. Surely, playing arms is better on bigger screen with motion controls.

I guess TV mode would be the best

Motion controls is the way to go apparently.
Few friends in the UK managed to try it a few months back, and they really enjoyed the game with motion controls.

I've downloaded the demo. Will try the game next week. Unlikely to buy this game though coz not best enjoyed in handheld mode.

those planning to buy digital and looking for some savings,
Amazon Jp is selling the digital version slightly cheaper(5,863Yen) than the eshop (5,980Yen)

Ok, let's do some exercise tomorrow morning!

http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2017/05/g..._testpunch_demo

Demo started 8am today.

I prefer traditional controls over motion, will try more

Mine still service unavailable

I played like 2 sessions.. the first one was really fun and the 2nd one was starting to get addictive for me, and that's only one part of the mode they give us access to. I'm already sold tbh.. I love it, and my love for Ramen Girl grows, until they release booty girl lol. Love the ramram side punch combo with the giant yellow megawatt arms.



Lobby system is weird, like people get seperated and play 1v1, 2v2, triple threat , volley ball match and etc.. sometimes you have to wait for some to finish and it does a 2v2 match or you play just normal 1v1 match and etc.. while waiting you can actually train with some target practice which is instantly, and no loading, awesome.



Quick customization before a match



This was the best moment for me, some japanese team mate combo with me for power up finish. Epic.



Grappled finish



I really hate the volleyball game, because I really suck at it. Need some more practice.

7 difficulties.. 6-7 is x_x for now

you're playing motion mode?

Nah I play with joycons on handheld mode mostly.
At some point i'll play with motion controls I guess, for exercise haha.

motion control is fun..

Completed level 3 with motion control and now I feel it's gonna be impossible to beat in level 4

Done with level 4.. beat hedlock but with joycon on grip. Now can play ranked match.

6-7 still giving me problems lol. Playing with online people is a lot easier than with AI lol. Just because of the last boss tho lol.

Having problems with level 6 boss now
I haven't tried purchasing any new arms.

It's best to collect until at least 100 then you can start buying arms.
20 coins is not worth it. You get like 1 arms, also a slim chance of getting max 2 arms.
For 100 coins.. you'll get at least around 6 arms or more.

I think I have more than 500 coins now.

buy from amazon jp digital code only rm225

Oh you can aim for the highest one then 200 coins. That will give you a lot of time to grab a lot of arms.. More than 10.

English version ka?

-duplicated-

all languages available

bought the code 5896 yen -> redeem in nintendo website

Nice.. Next time I'll make sure to check for such a deal before buying.

How is the online player-base? With this being a multiplayer heavy game I'm afraid to buy it at full price without a healthy community

Friendly lobby always have people. Didn't try ranked yet, still too noob for it. Played with many jap epoeple, they are good, can't even touch them sometimes

It's a Nintendo game, community is always healthy tbh. And you won't have a hard time finding people to play with.
I still play Splatoon on my Wii U and I still can join and play without any issues. Note, the game is already out like 2 years ago.

Thanks guys! I've never been to big into multiplayer games on Nintendo hardware. Looks like I'll be giving ARMS a shot.

Did you guys watch the video where Mr. Yabuki, Arms' producer, was playing against the winner of Arms invitational? I never thought this game would be that intense and exciting! Mr. Yabuki is the boss of Arms, fuuuuhhhhh..

this game has alot of potential. very skill based. my young bro is hooked.

Finally completed with kid cobra.

The game is really good. Very simple, yet requires a lot of skills to outmaneuver and etc. I'm hoping people will still play it a lot as they are now when Splatoon 2 comes out. Interesting to see that Nintendo is focusing on online multiplayer games for once. Maybe to justify people to get the online sub next year.

Needed to make it attractive when they launch pay service next year.
To be honest, I doubted ARMS would be a game I would purchase but now it's so addictive. Moving next is ranking mode.

Just got arms as well for RM220.
Seems pretty fun. Will play this completely later this weekend.

Where did you get for that price? Used?

Tagged along with my friend who knew the owner of an infamous gameshop haha. Shows that's they can be pretty nice too.
I would have gotten it digital anyway. The 225 offer above isn't bad as well.

Currently digital will be more costly when compared to hardcopy as you could get it for RM259.
59.99 USD after conversion will be slightly more expensive with the current conversion rate.
I got the digital version as I'm lazy to change game card.

V1.1.0 update

http://nintendoeverything.com/arms-update-...-version-1-1-0/

Yeah. I do hope Nintendo will have some sales soon.
ARMs is pretty much the only physical game I have outside of 1-2 switch.
I purchase the rest digitally too(zelda, Mario cart, etc) coz I'm lazy to change cards.

We should do a Lyn ARMS tournament

Selling brand new sealed copy RM 230. Pm tq

Can't wait to test him out

Yeah, sometimes he's more difficult to beat than hedlock

ARMS 2.0 updates tomorrow

https://mynintendonews.com/2017/07/11/the-a...de-hedlok-mode/

I hope there is more stuff so i would keep playing. Maybe they'll add new characters and some new mods, that would be fun. For now gonna play Splatoon 2.

yeah.. splatoon2

V.2.1 update available..
http://en-americas-support.nintendo.com/ap...tail/a_id/26377

Global test punch going on right now for 3 days start today.
