But curl, how do you explain ARMS' existence in the first place?

After the massive success of Splatoon, Nintendo thought they could create another breakout new IP and simultaneously showcase the Joycon's motion controls.

That's not how product approval at Nintendo works. ARMS came about because Yabuki and the team wanted to experiment with a third person fighting game based around shooting mechanics, which they felt were a natural fit for the Joy-Con motion controls. Nintendo saw potential in the project and gave them the green-light. It's not like Nintendo told the team to make another Splatoon like mega-hit, ARMS was made because the developers wanted to make it.
