Chooch Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 You can play it with standard controls too, although that looks like it defeats the point/fun of it. (positives being it stops Nap from moaning) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pulsemyne Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 1 minute ago, Stuart said: Fair point, I'm making assumptions. I'll be happy if it has a full single-player campaign, I was assuming it would be similar in scope to Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash on Wii U. Well there is no confirmation of anything. Although the demo has 5 characters and they hinted at there being more than that. Besides it's beginning for a punch out style single player.

It looks good new ip, exclusive, not a port, makes interesting use of hardware. Not having it at launch....start as you mean to go on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be wrong though. EDIT: shopto lists ARMS as being the 31'st march and costing 44 quid. Mario kart 8 also costs 44 quid from them. Also seems like the switch does have an IPS screen. Nice to see that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You joke, but clearly it has been brought forward to fill a gap after the Wii U. There aren't enough *new* games, and those that are there are miles away yet.

This is just more confirmation that Richard Leadbetter's industry sources did indeed give out all the specs for the hardware, the rest of that tech spec is very likely to be accurate too: Quote This leaked spec actually appeared on Twitter before Nintendo's official reveal. Thought by many to be out of date or fake, we can confirm that Nintendo has briefed developers recently with the same information. One source tells us that the 4K30 aspect of the spec was not part of the developer presentation, but everything else was. We can assume that the clock-speeds are theoretical maximums, and not the 768/307.2MHz combo we've confirmed as locked in retail hardware. CPU: Four ARM Cortex A57 cores, max 2GHz GPU: 256 CUDA cores, maximum 1GHz Architecture: Nvidia second generation Maxwell Texture: 16 pixels/cycle Fill: 14.4 pixels/cycle Memory: 4GB Memory Bandwidth: 25.6GB/s VRAM: shared System memory: 32GB, max transfer rate: 400MB/s USB: USB 2.0/3.0 Video output: 1080p60 Display: 6.2-inch IPS LCD, 1280x720 pixels, 10-point multi-touch support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
