System3 has posted the last 2 episodes for their “Undesirable Guide” series featuring 2 new characters coming to Constructor.
First up is the Killer Clown, he is described “as being less child friendly but more of an arsonist that has a penchant for damage.” The second character is the Psycho, “he doesn’t pull any punches, but he can saw up buildings and causing huge amounts of havoc.”
You can check out the two episodes below for more information about the characters.
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.
Update: Added in additional details below.

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.
We’re still two months away from Splatoon 2’s release, but we already know the game’s file size – at least the one of the Japanese version, though other language versions shouldn’t be drastically different. A listing of the download version of the game on Amazon Japan has revealed that Splatoon 2 will require 5.5GB of space on your Switch.
