At BitSummit this weekend, Pygmy Studio and original Chibi-Robo director Kenichi Nishi are showing off a new Switch project tentatively known as LUNAXXX. Footage and details are now in – at least of the prototype version.

LUNAXXX features a character that has already appeared in a mobile title. In that game, civilization has been destroyed and is buried underground. This new Switch project acts like a prequel and the goal is to save as many people as possible by fishing.

Nintendo’s Japanese Twitter page and blog have a few extra details about ARMS Global Testpunch. The online demo will begin towards the end of next week.

To reiterate, seven fighters are included: Spring Man, Ribbon Girl, Master Mummy, Ninjara, Mechanica, Min Min, and Helix. With each one, you can choose from their standard ARMS. It’s also possible to play the demo with one or two players with a single Switch unit. The ARMS Global Testpunch can be experienced with the Party Match mode, including V-Ball.

When connecting with players in lobbies, versus rules will be automatically selected. It also looks like there’s a “Warm Up” option and the ability to change your fighter while waiting.
