ARMS debuts in Japan with more than 100k copies sold, outsells

No games and a thirst for anything, even wii sports boxing.

Having a global demo where anyone unsure can just try the game out for free.

Honestly I don't know why demo's have become such a rare thing

correct

you asked why it sold and I gave an answer, there's literally nothing else new to buy on the switch right now

Don't know about you guys, but I'm having fun with this shit right here

>>381448614
There's very little new to buy on most consoles right now. That's just how June is.

A new experience. I've enjoy playing arms multiplayer a lot. The joy con motion controls are accurate and fun to use.

if you actually get out of the house every now and then and meet up with some buddies for nintendo games like mario kart and arms your happiness is bound to increase

Depends what kind of taste you're looking for. Twintelle and Gibbon probably take care of their hygiene constantly, so if what you want is a clean asshole, either one should be fine.

Personally, I would rather eat Mechanica's ass after she's spend 12 hours in a hot workshop working on her ARMSbot.

This is Spring Man. The success of his game confirms that he will be a playable character in the next Super Smash Brothers.

Thoughts?

Nah, they'll go with Helix, he's more iconic.

>>381450671
PS4 had no games until 3 years later.

Same shit with this.

>>381449837
Love that picture. Spring Man is so happy. I especially like Max Brass' happy smirk. He's actually happy for Spring Man. He's a good guy.

I'd be happy to have him in Smash. I like using him a lot. He will make that weird vibrating spring sound as one of his taunts, though, right?

>>381449109
Don't be like that, anon.

Nier and Persona will do well when they get ported to Switch as well. ;)

Based Wintendo saving fighting games.

And? Uncharted 4 sold 2 times more than Splatoon. What now? :^)

Literally ok when nintendo does it

>>381449837
I wish Spring Man was as fun ingame as the art depicts him.

He acts like Space Dandy in the official art but he's just generic shonen hero ingame.

>>381452709
Those games are completely unrelated, while ARMS and the teo games it outsold are all fighting games. :O)

>this thread again
Nintendo fandom is a mental illness at this point

Nintendo is getting really good at advertising their games by creating good word of mouth and generating buzz without the need for a bloated marketing budget, but most importantly they realized the power of the waifus.

What's the lore behind there arms ?

Why do they stretch like that ?

Why do some humans not have stretcy arms ?

Are the arms replaceable ?

>>381455246
We're not entirely sure yet.

The reason Helix exists was due to an experiment to try and root out the cause of it.

[Something horrible is going on behind the scenes, I'm sure of it. /spoiler]

His character in the concept art really doesn't fit how I see his in-the game character as a generic but humble underdog

Demos have been find to statistically decrease sales probably because most games with them weren't very good or have really lazy or poorly made demos.

>>381446536
What hot releases has the Switch had in the last month that aren't ports? Future looks bright, but there's not much of anything of value right now.

>>381445487
That's cool. I hope the next game has a single player beat 'em up campaign.

1 2 Switch has sold just under a mil, and most of it was due to the Zelda drought.

This is true, we need to return to standard /v/ topics, like how MHW is the best thing ever and how all the Nintendo fans fucking hate it so much, and that's why we're gonna keep talking about it. Over, and over and over.

>>381454171
Right after release there were a million "lobbies are empty, nobody is talking about it, people are already returning their copies" threads spammed by Sony ponies.
Get fucked.

>>381458776
I like the idea of time-limited demos like the testpunch, mostly because it makes it seem like more of an event, and is thus more likely to drive sales because people feel like they're joining an already extant community.

>>381445487
Tekken 7 doesnt sell on japan cause everyone plays that on arcades and they have had the game for 2 years already you retars

I like ARMS, but I think this is why.

>>381445487
Literally just being the only Switch game released in months. Because Arms as a game is mediocre ass fuck.

>>381457456
79,536 first week in Japan. 222,668 total from the latest update.

>>381460054
Nope, Tekken 6 sold almost as much as ARMS on its first week.
Now it's dying, along with SF, and Basedtendo is taking over.

>>381460594
I mean, it kinda worked. The game did end up selling, so would you consider this a loss?

>>381460054
need excuses eh, Tekken-ashit

>Nobody likes SFV
>Tekken 7 is also in arcades, and arcades are still massive in Japan
>Switch owners are desperate for games and will buy literally anything Nintendo makes in droves

That's what went right.

Game is alright, but has no depth to it. Bought it, played it for a day before getting bored, refunded it.

>>381449837
>Spring Man, Ribbon Girl, Inkling Boy/Girl, Callie, and Marie will all be playable characters in the next Smash

This is the future I want today.

>>381460861
What's a sale matter if your newest console can't outsell your last handheld from 6 years ago?

>>381460989
>Tekken 7 is also in arcades, and arcades are still massive in Japan
If that was the reason then why did Tekken 6 do so much better? That was out in arcades for close to two years too by the time it hit the consoles.

>>381460293
wow
Master Mummy got a hot wife

white bois btfo

>>381461385
Mostly because Tekken 6 came out during a period where mobile games weren't so massive in Japan.

Now, Japanese gamers opt for mobile games for most of their gameplay sessions, and go to arcades when they want to play extravagant games. Home console sales are in a serious slump over there, even the PS4 is doing terribly.

The Switch is off to a good start, but that's only because it's portable.

>>381461234
I'm just wondering how much Splatoon and the Holidays are going to push sales. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

>>381460989
>will buy literally anything Nintendo makes
It's a good game, fight me. Not worth $60, but a good game.

>>381461234
Goalpost shifting aside, the 3DS sells because of its library.

>>381461445
She's a mummy, though, which just raises more questions. Also, if he's black, does that mean that they wuz kangz?

>>381461884
Assuming system shipments pick up like Nintendo says they will, Splatoon 2 should help push sales a large bit. Many many people weren't thinking about getting a Switch until they heard about Splatoon 2.

If Nintendo fucks up bumping up shipments, then it won't make much of a difference.

>>381461943
>It's a good game
If by good, you mean boring with no depth, sure I guess.

It feels like even more of a "party game" than Smash does.

>>381462154
>If by good, you mean boring with no depth, sure I guess.
>It feels like even more of a "party game" than Smash does.
Please explain both points for me

>>381460075
Don't look at DNA man one

>>381460315
Where do peopl get the nonsense idea SFV was in the arcades? It's never been in the arcades and are only looking to do so now.

>>381462154
Does that make it a bad game? I didn't buy it expecting a serious technical fighter, but I didn't buy Rocket League expecting a realistic driving game either.

>>381462795
It's an arcade style fighter, though. (I wouldn't know if SF is in arcades; I play rhythm games like MaiMai and TaikoJiro and spend a ton of time on the Kancolle machines, but I suck absolute ass at fighters.)

>>381447975

Splat tim is super popular in Japan, it has a 50% attach rate with Wii U there.

I'm happy that Nintendo finally learned how to market their new IPs, but the failures of Wonderful 101 and Codename Steam still hurt.
If only they got a fraction of this attention.

top kek. splatoon 2 is going to sell 100K at most. Not that I'd be complaining if I was Nintendo. That's 6 mil in profit right there.

Remember kids, whenever you try to play sales war with each other, the only people winning are the companies.
