Support NeoGAF

[Spirited]

So is it releasing at midnight in CEST or in BST for europe?

 

[True Fire]

Now THAT'S an OT title. Watch and learn GAF

 

[Fix-It Felix. Jr.]

We made sure to add him as the last media link

Just watched that video. He's got some serious patience, and good timing with those quick dodges.

Just watching Skyward with those Slapamanders was enough to annoy me. They gave me so much trouble during the TP, along with Mechanica's double hammers.

 

[dragonzdogma]

Greatest OT of all time

( no obscure little message)
(amazing gifs)
(awesome game)
(awesome info)

Everyone else making OTs please take note

 

[ASIS]

Yep, I always use Japanese eShop and it says it supports English. It is downloading now but it supports.

Do I have to create a separate account to access the Japanese shop?

 

[Dandy Crocodile]

There is no dash in Min Min's name

please fix urgently

I'm gonna petition Nintendo to legally add the dash to her name.

 

[jennetics]

Not really that interested in ARMS, but man...that title is great, and the OT is beautifully made. Well done, OP!

 

[Takat]

There's also another stage that was showcased at the Invitational, the ring... can't remember the name.

 

[ArtificialIntelligence]

Do I have to create a separate account to access the Japanese shop?

You can switch your accounts region on MyNintendo but I recommend you to create a separate account and a separate user on Switch.

 

[The perfect Dark]

I think I'm going digital with this one. Very small size and midnight release worldwide (right?). I'm also thinking about selling my physical copies (MK8, Zelda,etc) and buying the digital versions. I hate switching games, lol. Especially MP games.

 

[xKilltheMx]

Guys,

Buying it from the Japanese Eshop saves like 10 bucks over buying USD?
Eh..I guess I'll get my gold coins for my main account.

 

[Tom Nook]

Great write-up OP.

 

[Ezalc]

Somebody tell me what that snake dude's gimmick is again?

 

[KodaRuss]

$100 FOR ANOTHER JOY CON?

DAMNIT NINTENDO

I bought my first Nintendo Console in almost 20 years on Sunday and I have bought more accessories/controllers for my Switch than my last 20 years of gaming combined I think.

Now I am broke.

Glass Protector for Switch
Pro Controller
Yellow Joy-Cons
Switch Carrying Case
Joy-Con Charger
Joy-Con Grips x2
Another AC Adapter

 

[Amibguous Cad]

Does anyone know when this goes live and what the options for preloading are?

 

[CharminUltra]

My copy shipped.

MY COPY SHIPPED.

$100 FOR ANOTHER JOY CON?

DAMNIT NINTENDO

Prepare for more if you're a splatoon fanatic:

 

[RootCause]

My copy shipped.

MY COPY SHIPPED.

What store did you get it from?
My order(amazon) hasn't shipped yet.

 

[I Wanna Be The Guy]

Do we still have time to remove throws from the game?

 

[Steve McQueen]

Can't wait to get beaten up tomorrow Enjoyed the testpunch a lot!

 

[RootCause]

Prepare for more if you're a splatoon fanatic:

Wonder if it will be released in reverse at a later time. Already got those preordered from amazon japan, just waiting for the yellow ones to go live.

 

[OricWindstar]

Somebody tell me what that snake dude's gimmick is again?

When his arms are charged, he can ground dash until the charge wears off. This let's him go under punches and makes him the fastest character in the game by a pretty wide margin. He's pretty slow without the charge, but he does have the fastest jump movement even without it.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Jesus, arms is so close

 

[jobrro]

Does anyone know when this goes live and what the options for preloading are?

It's live now in Japan. When I put in in my Amazon JP code before midnight it started downloading.

I assume it will go live whenever the first midnight across the time zones of your country is.

 

[OricWindstar]

Does anyone know when this goes live and what the options for preloading are?

Don't think there will be a preload. Should go live at 9pm PST.

 

[Professor Lexicovermis]

Somebody tell me what that snake dude's gimmick is again?

1. Slower Dash, but fastest jumps in the game.

2. When Charged, he can perform a quickstep that dashes under attacks. I THINK he can chain quick steps together?

 

[Incitemaybe]

It's here! Can't wait to download this tonight

 

[OricWindstar]

2. When Charged, he can perform a quickstep that dashes under attacks. I THINK he can chain quick steps together?

I'm pretty sure he can. I think he can get out 4-5 dashes before the charge wears off.

 

[Niwa]

I'm gonna petition Nintendo to legally add the dash to her name.

I really don't have it with names, lmao

 

[deoee]

How many of you got interested in the game after the testpunch?

 

[Bananastand]

Online is already pretty crowded. I had some fun matches!

 

[Luigi87]

So hyped for this!!

 

[jon bones]

i'm in - should supplement MK8D really well

 

[ryushe]

Man, I'm still so on the fence about this one.


Edit: wait, it's cheaper on the Japanese eShop like how Mario Kart 8 Deluxe was? Hmm...

 

[QuixoticNeutral]

So, what's everybody's plan for the early days? Straight into online play, or farming up some gloves? I know my intention is to clear Grand Prix 4 or higher with every character before I jump into Ranked, so I know I qualify with all of them, not unlike 3-starring all cups in Mario Kart and amassing unlocks along the way. I dread doing this with Helix, though, as his default set is so unorthodox and I didn't get a good handle on him in the Testpunch.

 

[jobrro]

Man, I'm still so on the fence about this one.


Edit: wait, it's cheaper on the Japanese eShop like how. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe was? Hmm...

I think it's about 52USD if you buy code from Amazon. Co.jp.

You can also download and play right now.

 

[dragonflys545]

I hope they add content fast. I feel like I'm gonna get bored quick.

 

[Spirited]

So was the sky arena showed in the tournament yesterday part of the first update because at the moment it's only for the singleplayer, right?

 

[Ogodei]

So wait, are the human arms fighters... human? Are they cyborgs, or do they just have their arms temporarily removed for the fights?

Barring Mechanica and Twintelle who seem to have their real arms.

 

[ryushe]

I think it's about 52USD if you buy code from Amazon. Co.jp.

Which is essentially how much it'd cost if I were to do Prime/GCU. Not only that, I'd prefer to have this digitally.

That might've just pushed me over the edge.

 

[Shahadan]

I'm stuck at this bullshit superboss called Ribbon Girl

 

[ASIS]

You can switch your accounts region on MyNintendo but I recommend you to create a separate account and a separate user on Switch.

Could you please elaborate? Is there any risk I should be aware of?

 

[Menitta]

Hahaha that OT title is good.

 

[BorkBork]

We made sure to add him as the last media link

Watching him wreck Zerk was a treat. I think this will be the game that justifies a Switch for me.

 

[GuessMyUserName]

Whaaaaaaat the helllll, I only seleccted difficulty 3 but my Ribbon Girl can't even beat Min Min in the 2nd fight!

I was able to beat lvl 5 Hedlok a number of times in the demo, I wasn't expecting this difficulty!

 

[Professor Lexicovermis]

So wait, are the human arms fighters... human? Are they cyborgs, or do they just have their arms temporarily removed for the fights?

Barring Mechanica and Twintelle who seem to have their real arms.

They are human, but "woke up one day with extendable ARMS". Apparently "it's actually pretty rad".

 

[Durden77]

First party releases go up at midnight EDT!

Awesome! Hype!

 

[RaptorGTA]

Title is awesome!

My copy will be here tomorrow!

 

[Bog]

How do I charge punches.

 

[ArtificialIntelligence]

Could you please elaborate? Is there any risk I should be aware of?

I don't think that there is any risk but some games have Japan specific SKU's and they might not be shown when you switch back region to US/EU.
