forma.8 has seen the most success on Switch
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 5 Comments
Lizardcube made it known today that Wonder Boy: The Dragon’s Trap on Switch has outsold all other versions combined. That isn’t the only success story on Nintendo’s console.
MixedBag says that forma.8 has seen the most success on Switch. The Switch version has outsold every version but iOS, which launched at a much cheaper price. However, that also means the Switch version garnered higher revenue.
This is pretty notable, especially since forma.8 only just came to Switch a couple of weeks ago. The launch just took place on August 24.
Thanks to Stuart for the tip.

You’ll try to make as long a line as you can by picking up people on the dance floor. This new version has two exclusive Switch multiplayer modes plus support for amiibo that can unlock “special cosplay costumes”.

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Switch, Videos | 0 comments
When Lola Pop is added to ARMS this month, Nintendo will also be adding her primary ARMS as well. You can get a quick look at two of them below.
新アーム『ヌンチャク』の特徴は、攻撃スタイルが変化することにあります。
ジャンプ中は正面への範囲の大きな攻撃を繰り出し、接地中なら横からの攻撃を防ぐこともできちゃいます。
くらえッ秘技ブーメラン落とし！ホアアーァチョー！ pic.twitter.com/Yrz1o4xmyQ— ARMS（アームズ） (@ARMS_Cobutter) September 10, 2017
新アーム『ジョーカー』は「バーチカル」と似た構造の多段系アームです。放物線の軌道で、相手の顔にドスンとスタンプ！
誰かさんのキュートな似顔で視界を覆う、女子ウケ間違いなしの一品です。ぼちぼちサインの練習でも始めましょうかね…！ pic.twitter.com/VVjaT9hF2n— ARMS（アームズ） (@ARMS_Cobutter) September 11, 2017
Lola Pops, hew new ARMS, and the new stage could be out this week. It’d make sense to tie that in with the new Nintendo Direct.
