KoopaTV's Live Reactions to the ARMS Direct!

By LUDWIG VON KOOPA - Featuring North Korea launching nuclear arms on Nintendo's Japanese headquarters. ...Just kidding.

Another Nintendo Direct is here, this one focusing on the new Nintendo Switch game, ARMS! Plus, Splatoon 2 for good measure. I'm Ludwig, and joining me is RawkHawk2010, in our [Koopa Keep] AIM Blast (running in Pidgin).

Follow along with our log here:


(5:42:45 PM) (rawkhawk2010) I think that's why catholic priests become child molestors.
(5:43:06 PM) (rawkhawk2010) They deny themselves of their desires for so long that they snap.
(5:43:14 PM) (rawkhawk2010) which sounds believable.
(5:44:13 PM) (rawkhawk2010) Aren't there orthodox Jews who perform circumcision by personally biting off the foreskin?
(5:44:17 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: (But those political news junkies are basically all returning users)
(5:44:17 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: no
(5:44:29 PM) (rawkhawk2010) I swear it's real.
(5:44:57 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohel
(5:45:01 PM) (rawkhawk2010) yeah that
(5:45:16 PM) (rawkhawk2010) " but some Orthodox groups use their mouth to draw blood after cutting the foreskin."
(5:45:22 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: Yeah
(5:45:25 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: that's not the same as
(5:45:29 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: "they bite it"
(5:45:36 PM) (rawkhawk2010) This isn't much better though.
(5:45:53 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: It's a little better. <_<
(5:52:52 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: Huh.
(5:52:56 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: A bunch of people searched
(5:53:04 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: "president trump petition to abolish daylight savings time"
(5:53:16 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: And it had an over 75% clickthrough rate.
(5:53:17 PM) (rawkhawk2010) lol
(5:53:59 PM) (rawkhawk2010) i agree with you saying it's government overreach when the government controls time
(5:54:07 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: Thanks.
(5:54:08 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: https://www.change.org/p/president-trump-abolish-daylight-savings-time-change
(5:54:28 PM) (rawkhawk2010) That's for Dialga
(5:57:28 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: Right.
(5:57:34 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: http://www.nintendo.com/nintendo-direct/05-17-2017/
(5:58:35 PM) (rawkhawk2010) k i'm available
(5:58:55 PM) (rawkhawk2010) watching on youtube
(5:59:48 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: Okay, me too.
(6:00:20 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: IT'S STARTING
(6:00:24 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: "The Gift of ARMS"
(6:00:29 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: There's a song.
(6:00:37 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: ...I think.
(6:00:55 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: Researchers held back "by an invisible hand."
(6:01:06 PM) (rawkhawk2010) is this gonna be a plot
(6:01:10 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: Hope so.
(6:01:20 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: But they said it's not actual gameplay.
(6:01:38 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: "I was shocked at first, but having arms like this is actually pretty rad." - Spring Man
(6:01:42 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: NO IT'S BIFF THE COMMENTATOR
(6:01:47 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: I forgot he existed.
(6:01:48 PM) (rawkhawk2010) Biff?
(6:01:51 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: But he sucked.
(6:01:51 PM) (rawkhawk2010) From Back to the Future?
(6:01:55 PM) (rawkhawk2010) I never knew he existed.
(6:02:02 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: He was from the Direct last month.
(6:02:53 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: I remember these attributes from that Direct.
(6:02:58 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: I took a screenshot of them!
(6:03:05 PM) (rawkhawk2010) I've never seen any of this.
(6:03:10 PM) (rawkhawk2010) Guess I wasn't paying attention.
(6:03:11 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: Uh...weren't you there?
(6:03:22 PM) (rawkhawk2010) yeah but not for this
(6:03:29 PM) (rawkhawk2010) lol
(6:03:44 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: I'll check the published log article after.
(6:03:53 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: And make a snarky remark in the footer for this one!
(6:04:03 PM) (rawkhawk2010) Is there a Mega Man boss named Spring Man?
(6:04:05 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: Yes.
(6:04:10 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: He's from Mega Man 7 IIRC.
(6:04:18 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: (Mega Man 7 kinda sucked.)
(6:04:29 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: (It was the first Mega Man classic game for the SNES.)
(6:04:51 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: (...and only one, since Mega Man 8 was for the PlayStation and SEGA's console of the day.)
(6:05:15 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: I like the "Homie"
(6:05:25 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: But Biff doesn't.
(6:05:36 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: Ninjara has fangirls.
(6:06:13 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: Is it bad that I pronounce Chakram as
(6:06:13 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: uh
(6:06:16 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: ch
(6:06:19 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: Instead of sh?
(6:06:22 PM) (rawkhawk2010) no
(6:06:26 PM) (rawkhawk2010) that's how naruto does it
(6:06:28 PM) (rawkhawk2010) biff is wrong
(6:06:32 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: Oh, okay.
(6:07:18 PM) (rawkhawk2010) well, birds
(6:07:24 PM) (rawkhawk2010) that's interesting I guess
(6:07:25 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: New challenger.
(6:07:27 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: Kid Cobra.
(6:07:30 PM) (rawkhawk2010) They remind me of Clockwork Kazooies
(6:07:39 PM) (rawkhawk2010) As opposed to Kid Icarus?
(6:07:51 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: He's trying to increase views for his extreme sports livestreams.
(6:08:04 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: (Murders on Facebook Live?)
(6:08:23 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: Boomerangs are always OP.
(6:08:37 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: Just ask Boomerang Bro.
(6:09:16 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: The game's Team Fight 2v2 mode has the team attached to one another.
(6:09:23 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: There's a volleyball mode.
(6:09:29 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: And a basketball mode.
(6:09:35 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: Except your opponent is the ball.
(6:09:41 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: Sounds like middle school. :(
(6:09:51 PM) (rawkhawk2010) Hey, modes.
(6:10:15 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: Training is called "ARMS Test"
(6:10:17 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: North Korea?
(6:10:42 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: You get more ARMS at the "Arm Getter".
(6:10:50 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: 'cause I guess they don't believe in stores.
(6:11:07 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: Duplicate ARMS are stronger.
(6:11:15 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: So this might end up like Kid Icarus Uprising.
(6:11:20 PM) (rawkhawk2010) I thought Ribbon Girl was already a thing.
(6:11:28 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: She is.
(6:11:36 PM) (rawkhawk2010) Oh
(6:11:41 PM) (rawkhawk2010) This isn't just new people.
(6:11:43 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: Yeah.
(6:11:56 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: She has a "Fire Whip" ARM.
(6:12:00 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: Which is probably hawt.
(6:12:21 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: ...<_<
(6:12:23 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: >_>
(6:13:04 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: I like Helix.


ARMS Helix special power
Will Ludwig main Helix? ...Will Ludwig play ARMS at all?


(6:13:12 PM) (rawkhawk2010) He reminds me of Kameo's Flex.
(6:14:01 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: I liked Spring Man's facial expression as he got punched.
(6:14:04 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: New character(s)!
(6:14:09 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: Byte and Barq?
(6:14:21 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: ...They're the Ice Climbers or Rosalina/Luma.
(6:14:21 PM) (rawkhawk2010) Uh
(6:14:27 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: It's a cop and his cop dog robot.
(6:14:30 PM) (rawkhawk2010) This is like that one Metroid Prime Hunters character.
(6:14:34 PM) (rawkhawk2010) Who can break in half.
(6:14:41 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: I forgot that existed but yeah.
(6:14:53 PM) (rawkhawk2010) Creepy Ass Cracker
(6:14:58 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: Twintelle


ARMS Twintelle Nintendo Switch A-list celebrity singer hands hair
Twintelle is not Rachel Jeantel, which is what Rawk is referencing.


(6:15:00 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: AHH
(6:15:06 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: A-List movie star.
(6:15:20 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: She has bullet time.
(6:16:02 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: So her ARMS are attached to her hair.
(6:16:05 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: Not her actual hands.
(6:16:14 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: 10 fighters.
(6:16:26 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: There appear to be OVER NINE-THOUSAND combinations.
(6:16:31 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: There is a Grand Prix.
(6:16:41 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: Which includes the different modes.
(6:16:51 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: Single-player and/or with a friend.
(6:16:58 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: Party Match is online.
(6:17:00 PM) (rawkhawk2010) ...well they got off that quit.
(6:17:04 PM) (rawkhawk2010) quick*
(6:17:15 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: Lobbies support 10 dudes.
(6:17:28 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: And supports different modes for fun.
(6:17:33 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: There's Ranked Match too.
(6:17:38 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: (For Glory)
(6:17:41 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: One on one battles.
(6:18:16 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: Local wireless is of course a thing, or a lobby with 8 systems.
(6:18:24 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: "Final announcements"
(6:18:30 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: Well that was quick.
(6:18:40 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: ARMS will have FREE updates even after the game launches!

ARMS Nintendo Switch free updates stages fighters arms after launch release
New fighters! New stages! And new arms!


(6:18:42 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: ala Splatoon
(6:18:51 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: ahh
(6:18:57 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: There's the ARMS Global Testpunch
(6:19:06 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: Sounds familiar.

ARMS Global Testpunch Test Punch May June
Why, it's almost exactly like a Global Testfire...


(6:19:33 PM) (rawkhawk2010) Guess I get to play it once!
(6:19:37 PM) (rawkhawk2010) Just like the Splatoons!
(6:20:00 PM) (rawkhawk2010) was that a lemur
(6:20:03 PM) (rawkhawk2010) i saw a lemur
(6:20:06 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: Maybe I'll have a Switch by then.
(6:20:07 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: ...doubt it.
(6:20:12 PM) (rawkhawk2010) It was on a sign.
(6:20:14 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: I think this music/song is sung by Twintelle.
(6:20:16 PM) (rawkhawk2010) In the oriental level.
(6:20:25 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: "And now for something completely different"
(6:20:26 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: SQUIDS
(6:20:31 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: ...Kid?
(6:20:40 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: The Inkling is running like a sissy.
(6:20:48 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: AHHH MARIE
(6:20:55 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: With a parasol.
(6:20:55 PM) (rawkhawk2010) It's running like girl Rydder from Mass Effect Andromeda
(6:20:59 PM) (rawkhawk2010) Ryder*
(6:21:05 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: Looking oriental.
(6:21:35 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: ...
(6:21:38 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: What?!

Splatoon 2 Marie oriental Asian clothing parasol umbrella gown kimono aimlessly wandering around the square
Marie is looking fantastic here.
If only Callie won the final Splatfest...


(6:21:49 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: These Inklings have never heard of the Squid Sisters.
(6:21:53 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: It's a new one-player mode.
(6:22:00 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: Featuring more Octarians.
(6:22:02 PM) (rawkhawk2010) This is a serious troll move.
(6:22:10 PM) (rawkhawk2010) WAY TO REMIND EVERYONE OF WHAT'S NOT IN ARMS
(6:22:12 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: And Marie is the new Cap'n Cuttlefish.
(6:22:26 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: Rails
(6:22:31 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: and jumping and shooting off them.
(6:22:48 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: ...!
(6:22:55 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: ...complete.
(6:23:01 PM) (rawkhawk2010) Well
(6:23:06 PM) (rawkhawk2010) That was the best part of the Direct.
(6:23:08 PM) (rawkhawk2010) Says a lot.
(6:23:19 PM) (rawkhawk2010) Look
(6:23:22 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: ...Yeah, it was the best part.
(6:23:50 PM) (rawkhawk2010) So they made these characters, made all these weapons, all these animations, tried to give everyone personality...
(6:24:01 PM) (rawkhawk2010) ...and you're either gonna do versus mode or play volleyball with them.
(6:24:14 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: Yeah.
(6:24:16 PM) (rawkhawk2010) Nintendo created all the resources to do so much with these dudes, but nah.
(6:24:22 PM) (rawkhawk2010) It's Mario Kart 8 all over again.
(6:24:26 PM) (rawkhawk2010) I'M SICK OF THIS SHIT.
(6:24:26 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: ...
(6:24:31 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: Wot did you want?
(6:24:34 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: Subspace Emissary?
(6:24:38 PM) (rawkhawk2010) Story.
(6:24:39 PM) (rawkhawk2010) Plot.
(6:24:41 PM) (rawkhawk2010) Event Matches.
(6:24:44 PM) (rawkhawk2010) Mission Mode.
(6:24:48 PM) (rawkhawk2010) A Sakurai Checklist.
(6:25:06 PM) (rawkhawk2010) Genuine character interactions like what Splatoon 2 just showed.
(6:25:23 PM) (rawkhawk2010) See, you know I wouldn't be complimenting Splatoon 2 unless I had to.
(6:25:29 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: Yeah I know.
(6:25:30 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: >_>
(6:26:28 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: So you want Sakurai to make all of Nintendo's multiplayer-focused games?
(6:26:32 PM) (rawkhawk2010) I think I'm becoming anti-multiplayer in general.
(6:26:39 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: I think you are.
(6:26:53 PM) (rawkhawk2010) It's hogging too many resources.
(6:27:10 PM) (rawkhawk2010) I'm seeing multiplayer the same way you see mobile.
(6:27:11 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: That said, Nintendo has dedicated teams doing these multiplayer games.
(6:27:13 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: ...
(6:27:15 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: *shudder*
(6:27:26 PM) (rawkhawk2010) They're both indoctrinating children to not care about what's important.
(6:28:21 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: Now, hold on.
(6:28:34 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: Multiplayer has been important to gaming since its existence!
(6:28:52 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: The first games were multiplayer!
(6:29:04 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: And that's been a consistent presence ever since.
(6:29:09 PM) (rawkhawk2010) The first games were mostly targeted towards people without friends, lol.
(6:29:18 PM) (rawkhawk2010) Video games are supposed to REPLACE friends.
(6:29:21 PM) (rawkhawk2010) Not require them!
(6:29:43 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: That's what random multiplayer is for.
(6:30:14 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: It's not like those assholes on For Glory have friends.
(6:30:22 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: They're too antisocial. <_<
(6:30:58 PM) (rawkhawk2010) Regardless
(6:31:18 PM) (rawkhawk2010) We should agree that single player and multiplayer shouldn't be mutually exclusive.
(6:31:23 PM) (rawkhawk2010) Nintendo apparently believes otherwise.
(6:31:28 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: I disagree.
(6:31:39 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: If you look at it from the other perspective.
(6:31:54 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: You look at what all of these first person shooters on other consoles do.
(6:32:08 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: They just make a shitty campaign mode just to have one.
(6:32:08 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: OR
(6:32:13 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: You look at what Metroid Prime 2 has.
(6:32:20 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: You make a shitty multiplayer mode just to have one.
(6:32:26 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: (And other companies do that all the time.)
(6:32:31 PM) (rawkhawk2010) That was never true for Halo.
(6:32:42 PM) (rawkhawk2010) In 1 through Reach.
(6:32:45 PM) (rawkhawk2010) Might be true now.
(6:32:53 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: I mean, we watched a lot of the Call of Duty cutscenes.
(6:32:54 PM) (rawkhawk2010) But the campaigns were solid.
(6:33:01 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: Which we stopped doing and maybe we should bring that back.
(6:33:28 PM) (rawkhawk2010) Halo Reach probably had one of my favorite single-players.
(6:33:28 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: http://www.koopatv.org/2014/11/koopatvs-live-reactions-call-of-duty-advanced-warfare.html
(6:33:31 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: This has a TON of views.
(6:33:57 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: (Because of "Hold X to Pay Respects" primarily)
(6:34:21 PM) (rawkhawk2010) lol
(6:34:35 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: (KoopaTV is the third result if you search that in Google, and the first two are Know Your Meme!)
(6:34:57 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: I mean, that's gotta be a fantastic example of what happens when you put resources in dumb single-player campaigns for games meant for multiplayer.
(6:35:03 PM) (rawkhawk2010) So are we playing this Test Punch.
(6:35:06 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare.
(6:35:08 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: Uhhh
(6:35:09 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: You are.
(6:35:13 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: I don't have a Switch.
(6:35:16 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: And the first Testpunch is...
(6:35:26 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: The 26th.
(6:35:32 PM) (rawkhawk2010) Oh, about single-player
(6:35:36 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: Lasting until June 4.
(6:35:56 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: If you think I can get a Nintendo Switch between now and then... then sure. >_>
(6:36:15 PM) (rawkhawk2010) Sakurai Checklists should be standard.
(6:36:19 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: I see "Testpunch" as some weird Punch-Out!! reference we'd make.
(6:36:19 PM) (rawkhawk2010) How are they not standard?
(6:36:38 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: So you support the standardised trophies/achievements on other systems?
(6:36:41 PM) (rawkhawk2010) yes
(6:36:45 PM) (rawkhawk2010) well
(6:36:50 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: I don't. Never have.
(6:37:03 PM) (rawkhawk2010) The Sakurai Checklist isn't that.
(6:37:17 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: That's what standardisation would look like.
(6:37:19 PM) (rawkhawk2010) The Sakurai Checklist rewards you appropriately.
(6:37:35 PM) (rawkhawk2010) With actual gameplay-related things and not arbitrary points.
(6:37:48 PM) (rawkhawk2010) Every game should be doing that.
(6:38:00 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: You can't force every game to HAVE gameplay-related things to reward people with.
(6:38:05 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: That's easy for, like THE DIVISION.
(6:38:18 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: But what do you do with, say...
(6:38:26 PM) (rawkhawk2010) ?
(6:38:44 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: Pokémon  Sun/Moon?
(6:39:17 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: You move the "You got a Z-Crystal for completing the trial!" to a user interface element?
(6:39:24 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: Instead of as part of the story?
(6:39:24 PM) (rawkhawk2010) accomplish X with a first-stage Pokemon
(6:39:35 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: And get what, a TM?
(6:39:49 PM) (rawkhawk2010) or a Mystic Water
(6:40:12 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: But that stuff is meant to be found in-universe through exploration.
(6:40:19 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: Not some immersion-breaking menu element.
(6:40:36 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: (Also we probably should end this log 'cause this ain't ARMS.)
(6:40:36 PM) (rawkhawk2010) Then what's the Battle Tree counter
(6:40:47 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: That's nice people giving you things.
(6:40:52 PM) (rawkhawk2010) That's where all the actual important items are
(6:40:53 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: For participating in their tree.
(6:40:58 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: Chuck E Cheese does that.
(6:41:07 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: That's how real establishments work. <_<
(6:41:13 PM) (rawkhawk2010) This would be in the form of a taskman.
(6:41:29 PM) (rawkhawk2010) He'd be like, "Hey, do this and I'll give you ____!"
(6:41:34 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: Besides, there's a Life Orb in Revelation Cave. :o
(6:42:46 PM) (rawkhawk2010) Trying to think
(6:43:48 PM) Ludwig Von Koopa: ...



As promised, here is the April 12 2017 Nintendo Direct live reactions log. Around the 6:10 PM mark it's all about ARMS, and you can clearly read that RawkHawk2010 is making remarks about it. Anyway, please comment your thoughts about ARMS, or Splatoon 2, or Rawk and Ludwig's discussion at the end! (...Or perhaps the discussion at the beginning, if you really want.)


They later showed Splatoon 2's single-player mode at E3 2017. Here's the reaction log to that.
Splatoon 2 gets its own dedicated Direct, instead of appearing in other games' Directs.
Ludwig played the ARMS Global Testpunch on the Switch. Read his thoughts on it here.

  1. I had to beat down a pitiful little half man just so I could buy my Switch! Well, I didn't have to I guess... there might have been one switch left on the shelf after he had bought his... but I wasn't going to take any unnecessary risks! I'm not irresponsible like that!

    Arms is gonna be fun, but you'd better get Mario Kart 8 Deluxe too- that's where all the action is!*
    Sorry I'm incognito from Miiverse- had a little misstep with my 3DS :(
    Switch sales are crazy, and all of the analysts are dead wrong- I know from personal experience, the Switch hasn't sold over 2 or 4 million in just two months, it's more like it sold all those in 17 hours. HOURS, on the shelf at any gaming outlet- even the made up Target stores that have plenty of Switches on the shelves according to some Youtubers have trouble actually being stocked with any thing for more than about twenty four minutes.

    Out of curiosity, I stuck around my local Videogames ETC. store on the 28th of April to after getting my Switch, and losing almost all my savings and dignity, to see how long their 5 non-preorder Switch consoles would last. I timed it, no lie or exaggeration, 24 minutes!
    It's bonkers.
    You just might have to put on a ski mask to get a Switch this next shipment! Good luck Luddy!

    1. Then how'd you get your 2nd Switch?!

      I'm still not convinced that MK8 Deluxe is worth $60 if I already have normal MK8.

      I'm going to have to take some of the ARMS and knock people out to get one! ...Though, if the stores don't have any Switches to begin with, then I GUESS beating people up won't cause a Switch to suddenly spawn...

    2. I only got Zelda twice :O
      MK8D was worth it for me because of the portability of it. I cared less about MK8 when it was on Wii U and stuck to MK7 on the 3DS, which is still a strong racing game with an awesome and competitive community! Being able to take the Switch along is one thing, but having the full Mario Kart 8 experience no matter where I go! It's Ah-mazing!

      ...also a little sad, especially when a little kid is like "can I play that? My family couldn't find a Nintendo Switch..."
      And I'm like, "Nah."
      Sad. :/

    3. Yeah I figured that one out in another comment. :x

      Portability doesn't mean much to me for this, so... gonna go with not getting it. I already got the full MK8 experience (minus DLC) and wouldn't buy it again...
