Nintendo teases new ARMS attribute
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 3 Comments
ARMS has a variety of ARMS attributes. The game currently has seven in total, including fire, lightning, and wind. You can charge them during battle to add extra power to your punch.
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:
現在、全7種類のチャージ属性。ARMSラボより、ついに新しい属性の認可が下りました!
新たな属性のアイコンは、コチラ!…はは~ん、これは…そういうコトですね?ほぉ~ん?
詳細は続報を待て! pic.twitter.com/np6KBEhWOW— ARMS(アームズ) (@ARMS_Cobutter) November 14, 2017
Nintendo has also been teasing a new fighter for ARMS over the past week or so. This attribute may tie into that somehow.
Thanks to Underscore for the tip.

Rocket League resolution in docked and portable modes
Posted on 7 years ago by Tyler(@tylerlelliott) in News, Switch | 68 Comments
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.
