It looks like another attribute will soon be thrown into the mix. Over on the Japanese ARMS Twitter account, Nintendo teased a new one that should be added to the game in the future. It’s a skull icon of some sort, but specifics haven’t been shared just yet.

Here’s the teaser:

Nintendo has also been teasing a new fighter for ARMS over the past week or so. This attribute may tie into that somehow.

During an AMA on Reddit, Psyonix provided tech specs for Rocket League on the Switch. When docked, the resolution is 720p. The resolution stays around 526p when in portable mode. The priority seems to have been keeping the game running at a solid 60fps.

Rocket League runs at 1280×720 in Docked and uses a dynamic resolution scaler in Undocked (handheld) depending on the stadium being played. Generally speaking it hovers around 1024×576. Post launch we plan to continue working on optimizing the game.
