I wish she was next door to me.

Splatoon themed accessories include a Joycon grip by Hori:

That's actually a very clever idea.  I'm not really satisfied with the shoulder buttons, and this allows them to pronounce them more, just like what happens with the joycon strap and the 2 tiny buttons on the side of the joycon.

Nintendo trolling everyone today with that direct. And they e3 direct is only 30 minutes long, they will have nothing.

It should just be a half hour Arms match. That would be hilarious.

Arms reviews round-up, all the scores  

All scores out of 10 unless otherwise noted

• Cheat Code Central - 5/5 - "It’s difficult to describe just how good ARMS is. The best analogy I can come up with is that it is to fighting games what Splatoon is to third-person shooters"
• Nintendo Life – 9
• God is a Geek – 9​ - "Thrills from your first curious trip around the character select screen to the last-second knockouts that win you the match"​
• FNintendo (Portuguese) – 9
• Spazio Games (Italian) – 9
• Everyeye (Italian) – 8.8
• CGM Online – 8.5
• Nintendo World Report – 8 - "The raw gameplay of Arms is mostly brilliant, layered with far more strategy than meets the eye. Best as a multiplayer experience, everything coalesces beautifully"
• Press Start – 8
• Vandal (Spanish) – 8.2
• Inside Gamer (Dutch) – 8
• IGN – 8 - "Arms’ clever take on boxing provides a simple premise with a startling amount of depth"
• Shacknews – 8
• Polygon -8
• The Sixth Axis – 8
• Meristation (Spanish) – 8
• Gamer.nl (Dutch) – 8
• Metro UK – 8
• "In Short: One of the most enjoyable and original fighting games of recent years, that fully justifies its use of motion controls – and it’s only set to get better in the future."
• Hobby Consolas (Spanish) – 86/100
• Games Radar – 4.5/5
• Attack of the Fanboy – 4/5
• IBtimes UK – 4/5
• Vooks 4/5 - "Nintendo has another franchise on its hands and I can’t wait for more to be added to the game. Arms is a real blast."
• IGN Italy 8.9 - "ARMS has the heart - and the brain - of a pure-bread fighting game. Deep, engaging, fascinating, fast and far from trivial, this beat'em up shows however one huge merit above its many undeniable virtues: it's a new, completely unique take on the genre, one that will be enjoyable for both fans and newcomers. Another hit for the Big N, scored with a surprising boomerang-punch"
• Gamespot – 7 - "Arms is a strong, substantial fighting game that takes a while to really hit its stride. Its barrier to entry is unlike anything else in the genre, but it's one worth tackling in order to get at the game's fascinating take on fighting."
• US Gamer – 3/5
• Stevivor – 6.5

No Score System

• Eurogamer – “This is a mad, brilliant dance of a game.”
• Ars Technica – “Don’t let the saccharine looks fool you: Arms is deep, challenging, and an essential purchase for the Nintendo Switch.”

Reviews were exactly what I expected from arms after playing it.

Bully 2 page appeared then disappeared.  It seems it's Bullyshit.

​Microsoft may have hidden Xbox Scorpio’s release date and a sick burn on Sony in its E3 teasers

I mean, when YOU'RE the company getting it's ass kicked, throwing out jabs and digs at your competitor just doesn't have the same effect. It would be like the Predators talking shit about the Penguins last night after getting destroyed 6 to zero.

E3 starts tomorrow wtf? I can't ever remember having e3 on a weekend. Feels weird. Better bookmark the schedules in the update's. I marked them in black.

Happy E3 tomorrow! It's going to be Star Wars porn tomorrow. Maybe three new Star Wars games!

I'm surprised not many, if any people here bought SW Battlefront? I probably would have if I had a machine that could play it.

I'm guessing no one read this:

This Arms Companion article from Arstechnica is fun

It just made me laugh because of the note he sent to Nintendo PR

Arstechnica writer:

I switched fighters. I switched fighters' fist attachments. I switched controls. (I nearly switched Switches.) No improvement. I simply couldn't wrap my head (or springy arms) around the fact that my AI opponents kept dominating me, either by nimbly avoiding my every punch and throw or by setting up perfectly timed counters to my actions.

"The game is cheating!" I shouted. I even dove into the game's "training" mode... and lost repeatedly there, too. That mode includes a few matches with pre-set computer opponents, and one of those just kept targeting, attacking, and beating me. Yes, I was pounded into submission by a tutorial.

This was all followed by my first-ever letter to a Nintendo PR representative begging for help. It reads as follows:

Any help on how the heck to beat the computer? This is easily the hardest Nintendo game I've played in a decade. I cannot even beat the first Ninjara training round in which he repeatedly tries to throw you. Punch accuracy with the Joy-Cons is feeling impossible to establish. I don't normally send these kinds of emails but I have never felt so lost with a modern Nintendo game. Thanks -Sam

Nintendo never wrote me back.
