Nintendo provided some new information about the lore of ARMS with a messaged posted on the game’s Twitter account earlier today. Interestingly enough, it sounds like the masks power each of the characters’ extendable arms. When the masks are removed, they revert back to the way they originally were.

Sony global game development boss Shawn Layden had high praise for Switch while speaking about the system with TIME recently. He said that that new platform is “a great success for Nintendo” and noted how “it’s definitely what that fanbase has been waiting for.”

Layden doesn’t personally view Switch as a rival. Rather, he believes Nintendo and PlayStation compliment each other with families often purchasing hardware from both companies.

Layden stated:

“When you look at our numbers, I think it shows that a lot of gamers are a two-console family. And quite often those two consoles are PlayStation and Nintendo sitting side-by-side.”

Update: This concerning note was found buried in the video:

It’s looking like FIFA 18 on Switch wasn’t made with the Frostbite engine, and at least one mode is missing. We’re hoping that EA hasn’t made a ton of compromises here. FIFA 18’s Switch version is likely more in line with the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions as opposed to PS4 and Xbox One.

Original: There’s been some uncertainty as to what FIFA on Switch actually is. EA seems to have finally settled on things, as a new announcement that just went out has the game down as “FIFA 18”.

Cristiano Ronaldo of Real Madrid C.F. will be appearing as the global cover star of FIFA 18. We also have confirmation that it’s launching on September 29 worldwide.

We’ve included a trailer promoting Ronaldo as FIFA 18’s cover athlete below.

Note: before anyone gets confused, the video above isn’t where we’ve received the information. A press email delivered to us notes that FIFA 18 is “launching worldwide September 29, 2017 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 systems.”
