DigitalFoundry investigates ARMS’ resolution and frame rate
Posted on 7 years ago by Fernando in News, Switch | 17 Comments
Thanks to a special European hands-on event, DigitalFoundry has uploaded a new video analysis in which we can take a closer look at how ARMS performs when running on Switch.
Apparently, ARMS will run at a stable 60 FPS in all types of available playstyles, but the 1080p resolution will drop to 900p if we play a 2 or 4-player splitscreen match. Sadly, in 4-player multiplayer the frames per second will be reduced to 30 FPS in order to maintain a good playing flow.
Check out the video below to see for yourselves how good ARMS is looking.

You can buy the box of the Splatoon 2 Switch bundle by itself in Japan
Posted on 7 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Switch | 9 Comments
Well, I was only joking about it before, but it seems like Japan’s fervor for Splatoon really does know no bounds. You actually can buy just the box of the Splatoon 2 Switch bundle by itself on the Japanese My Nintendo store – literally just the box with no contents, not the game nor the Switch console. Accordingly, it only costs 540 Yen.
