Forums - Nintendo - ARMS Direct Announced! (Splatoon 2 Trailer as well)

curl-6 on 16 May 2017

I'm glad they seem to be getting ARMS mostly out of the way before E3. I'd rather they spent their time there on games like Odyssey, Xenoblade 2, and new announcements.

Hope the Splatoon 2 trailer is the story one; if I get it, that will be pretty much the only mode I'll be playing.

Yeah me too; I had a 7am start today, but tomorrow work doesn't kick off til 10am so I'll have time to watch this over breakfast then head off.

As bloody usual though, Nintendo puts their E3 presentation on the one day of the week where I have an early start, grrrrr.

Oh my god! Same here! Out of all the days it happened to be on the day where I have my uni exam which starts at 8am :( 

 

I'll probably still try to watch it live (just going to sleep  very early) and then use the remaining time after the direct to study.

 

Hopefully the direct won't dissapoint me cause I don't want to start the day with that..... xD

Yeah same, will probably set my alarm for 6am and watch a couple of the trailers that interest me most, then do the rest after work. Still annoying though. Why did it have to be Wednesday, of all days? I can't even stay up the night before to watch it cos working with high school kids is hard enough at the best of times, let alone when you're sleep deprived... XD

I have no idea why some people expected this direct to be Pokemon focused when ARMS is coming out in a month and Nintendo has a history of doing game specific directs for major 1st/2nd party titles a month or so before they release.



A nintendo direct that was announced to be focused on splatoon 2 and arms 2 and they showed 10-20+ other games and had a bunch of announcements?

Well the difference is that last months direct was labeled as "mainly focused on ARMS & Splatoon" which means other things were going to be present.

This one says "take a deep dive into ARMS plus a new trailer for Splatoon", it does not imply other games being present.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

Maybe we can get special guest E. Honda for Arms?

That could lead to some serious wanton destruction when swinging the JoyCons violently around lol.

Dhalsim makes more sense, dude's got arms for days...

You know I was always wondering why no one ever used the dollar sign for $ony, but then I realized they have no money so it would be pointless.
