Arms

Nintendo have announced part of their presentation line-up for Gamescom 2017. Splatoon is getting a new map and Arms is getting a new character. A demo for Pokken Tournament DX will be available at the Nintendo eShop this Thursday.

Nintendo's reports for the second fiscal quarter of 2017 have been released. Nintendo revised their 10 million units projection for Switch hardware and bumped it up to 14 million. The 3DS family fared well thanks to the New 2DSXL, selling 1.96m units worldwide.

Nintendo is bringing it for this year's Gamescom. When I say it I mean Super Mario Odyssey and Metroid: Samus Returns. There will also be some special livestreams organised.

Nintendo have released a brand new IP for the Switch. Watch or read our in-depth review to get all the information you need about this new fighting game.

UK sales chart for the week ending on 17 June shows Horizon Zero Dawn is back at number one. Switch exclusive Arms is at number two. Grand Theft Auto V's sales have not been diminished by the Open IV controversy.

Nintendo held their Direct presentation for Arms, revealing three new characters, and detailing their post-launch updates plans. A "Global Testpunch" will take place later this month for the game launching on 16 June.
