Arms Wasn't Originally a Boxing Game, The Only Genre That Would Justify That Name

They didn't want it to be like other mainstream games.

This game is a reskin of Virtua On... which is a good thing. Sega should just reboot Virtua On already...

TheCommentator3053d ago

Arms are also weapons, as in "armed soldier". A game about war could be called Arms too.

jholden32493053d ago

This game looks excellent.

I'm board of the same ol same ol... I need some new thrown into the mix. This will do nicely

Dasteru3053d ago

Agreed. Arms actually appears to be using the motion controls in a fun way. Being able to steer punches while jumping around. I can already see this becoming a very competitive game, like Smash Bro's.

conanlifts3053d ago

This is not a game i can see me playing by myself. But i think it will make a great family game to play with the kids.

Segata3053d ago

It's a twin stick fighting game like Virtual On. Not exactly casual. Maybe more intense than you expect.

conanlifts3053d ago

Thats possible. I think it looks fun, but was assuming it would be more suited for casual matches with the family. Hopefully you are correct, pretty certain i will be buying it anyway.

Nintendo finally explains what free upgrades do for Switch games on Switch 2

All 12 games are getting different upgrades. Some get full visual and frame rate enhancements, while others get GameShare support only.

darthv7227d ago

hmm... those improvements for the zelda games is kinda weak. I was expecting improved frame rate, or at the very least more stable. Sad there is nothing for Paper Mario, that one could use a 60fps mode like the original GC version.

ocelot0727d ago

Both Zelda games both run at 1440p and 60fps now. On the switch they both play at 30fps.

--Onilink--27d ago

The main issue will be if they don’t remove the double buffer vsync in them.

Yes, they are technically already 60fps capped, but that vsync setup means even a single dropped frame below 60 sends it to 30fps.

Now if they are also increasing the resolution and visuals in the game, unless there is a pretty significant overhead, which is still likely but not fully understood due to the unknowns of the “emulation” setup, if the 1% lows in the game still drop it every now and then anywhere below 60, they will still end up having massive stuttering drops from 60 to 30fps.

He's talking about link's awakening and echos of wisdom not breath or tears

Tacoboto27d ago

The two Zeldas - EoW and LA - already run with a 60fps cap. I would hope they're not mentioning improved frame rate because it's just assumed that the Switch 2 will smooth out the drops.

Whereas the specific callouts for Bowser's Fury and Pokémon indicate a raise from 30fps to 60fps.

jznrpg27d ago

Disappointing. Not many games with not much in upgrades.

Tacoboto27d ago

So... They're not gonna do anything with that Xenoblade Chronicles X 60fps mode, huh?

CDbiggen27d ago (Edited 27d ago )

12 is a bit weak. The whole switch library is in need of a boost. Exclusives like the Xenoblades and Astral Chain would be great to see get a free update. Initially surprised Mario Wonder wasn't on the list, but I imagine they have a paid upgrade planned for that one.
