The Wall Street Journal reporter Takashi Mochizuki is sharing a new comment made by Tatsumi Kimishima. During the company’s financial results briefing today, Nintendo’s president said that “more unannounced titles” are planned that should boost Switch hardware sales.

E3 2017, which is less than two months away, is where Nintendo should be making new announcements for Switch. We should also be hearing about previously-announced games such as Super Mario Odyssey.

EDGE has a big feature on ARMS this month. Switch’s upcoming game is on the cover of the magazine, and also has several pages of coverage.

Producer Kosuke Yabuki, art director Masaaki Ishikawa, and design director Shintaro Jikumaru shared some comments about ARMS as well. Between the three, they talked a bit about the game’s origins, making it balanced (including a special tool used), trying to have it be accessible yet also deep, and other topics as well. 

We’ve posted a number of comments from Yabuki, Ishikawa, and Jikumaru below. You can pick up this month’s EDGE for the full feature.

ARMS will be on the cover of EDGE magazine issue #306 with the caption “Nintendo’s stunning new fighting game lands the killer blow for Switch”. Sounds like the magazine’s editors have pretty high hopes for the game. If you’re a subscriber, by the way, you will instead get this exclusive cover art of Spring Man getting punched in the face:
