Is Nintendo teasing a new ARMS stage?
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 8 Comments
The ARMS Twitter account just posted another update containing the image above. It certainly looks like a new stage, doesn’t it?
The tweet has Biff talking about being on vacation and hearing that there is a fighter around here. He also mentions the sweet scent and exoticism in the air.
Everything points to this being related to a new fighter, who will likely be accompanied by a new stage as well. It does line up with what we heard from the datamine last week.

EA could bring many more games to Switch if FIFA 18 performs well
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 155 Comments
EA’s first Switch game will be published next month. FIFA 18 will launch on the console along with other platforms on September 29. On the whole, early feedback has been quite positive.
EA’s future support on Switch could hinge on the performance of FIFA 18. Speaking to EDGE this month, executive vice president Patrick Söderlund noted that the company wants to support the platform “and help Nintendo grow that installed base”. He went on to say that “it”s about supporting the platform, building technology for the platform, testing it out with big things like FIFA – and maybe a couple of others, we’ll see – and if they go well, I see no reason why we shouldn’t have as much of our portfolio on that platform as possible.”
Söderlund stated:
