GameStop says Redout is releasing for Switch on July 25
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 2 Comments
Nicalis hasn’t said when Redout will be available on Switch. But going off of GameStop, it could be out within a couple of months. In its weekly ad, the retailer claims that the title is set to launch on July 25.
GameStop isn’t just going out on a limb here. What’s encouraging is that Amazon and Best Buy both have July 25 listed on their websites as well. And with GameStop coming out in its ad with a July 25 release date, hopefully Redout will in fact be out on Switch next month.
Nintendo Everything is a participant in the Amazon, Best Buy, and GameStop affiliate programs. The website may receive a partial commission through orders placed with these retailers.

We’re now able to see their direct comments on the game’s origins, talk about the appearing characters, and more.
Read on below for some excerpts from the interview. Read up on the full discussion here.
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.”
