ARMS absorbs network lag while character arms are extending
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 21 Comments
A smooth online experience is always important, but even more so with fighting games. With ARMS, perhaps there won’t be much to worry about.
The manner in which fights take place in ARMS lends itself well to online play. “In the short time while the character arms extend, the game absorbs any network lag to allow for a truly responsive battle,” producer Kosuke Yabuki told GamesMaster this month.
Even though ARMS is a game intended to be entirely approachable, skilled players will find something here as well. Engineering director Kenta Sato mentioned that it was made so that “advanced players can go all-out, and we hope that we’ll see some of these players develop techniques beyond anything we imagined.”

Minecraft: Story Mode Season Two appears to be happening
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 2 Comments
Minecraft: Story Mode wrapped up last year. The eighth, final episode was originally distributed back in September. However, it now looks like Telltale Game is returning to the series.
A rating for a second season of Minecraft: Story Mode has popped up in Australia. The first episode has been classified specifically, which is known as “Hero in Residence”.
We’re reporting on this with some hesitation. Minecraft: Story Mode did originally come to Wii U, and it’s also landing on Switch in the very near future. Telltale’s output on Nintendo platforms can be unpredictable though as the recently-released Guardians of the Galaxy did not end up on Switch (at least not yet). That being said, Minecraft: Story Mode Season Two probably has a decent shot of coming to Nintendo’s new console.
