Nintendo’s Japanese Twitter page and blog have a few extra details about ARMS Global Testpunch. The online demo will begin towards the end of next week.

To reiterate, seven fighters are included: Spring Man, Ribbon Girl, Master Mummy, Ninjara, Mechanica, Min Min, and Helix. With each one, you can choose from their standard ARMS. It’s also possible to play the demo with one or two players with a single Switch unit. The ARMS Global Testpunch can be experienced with the Party Match mode, including V-Ball.

When connecting with players in lobbies, versus rules will be automatically selected. It also looks like there’s a “Warm Up” option and the ability to change your fighter while waiting.

NIS America published a demo for Disgaea 5 Complete on the Switch eShop this week. If you’re on the fence, it’s a good opportunity to try out the strategy RPG.

Some information was floating around that it’s possible to transfer progress over to the full game. But unfortunately, NIS America said on Twitter that it’s not actually possible. You can save in the demo itself, but data can’t be moved over to the retail release.

NIS America passed along the news on Twitter:

Another piece of significant information has been reported stemming from the April 2017 NPD report. According to Mat Piscatella, an analyst for the company, Mario Kart is the all-time best-selling racing franchise in the U.S.

One Piece: Unlimited World Red Deluxe Edition was confirmed for Europe earlier this week. Now we can say the same for North America as well.

Like in Europe, One Piece: Unlimited World Red Deluxe Edition will be out sometime in September. However, it’ll be a digital only title in the states. The good news is that Switch is region free, so if you’re interested in a physical version, you can import it from Europe.
