Again why am I always beat up in these threads? Nintendo zealots can't take criticism? Only Nintendo fans saying Nintendo praises are allowed? I'm here to be the voice of reality.The yin to your yang.
I'll even give ARMS a yank.
When people go in on comments like yours it's because they are precisely not the "voice of reality" but usually highly unreasonable or very often completely misinformed.
I concur. I am not right 100% of the time.

100% persecution complex.
Those were not developed by Nintendo.
And TF was not full customization, it was choosing between presets.

Can we play with friends or is this like the Splatoon testfire and just randoms? I assumed it was the latter.

Pretty sure it is the latter.

games with customizable button stuff I can think of:
Super Metroid, Breath of the Wild, Metroid Prime Trilogy, DKCR3D/DKCTF.
Can't wait to get my hands on arms.
I thought so but they presented it in the direct like the Americas get an exclusive day first or something. So it starts for everyone in 3.5 hours from now on.

Ahh I see, in the full game then!
Did you even read my post?
And you so constantly give other people shit. I am talking about full customization. Please learn to understand context.
the "only in NA" referred to the date (May 26).
The first block is on May 26 for NA, May 27 for all other regions.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Don't forget you can download the client now if you haven't. So I'd get on that now.
Huh. That doesn't seem like a motion you can execute with non-motion controls.

What's with the hostility. I'm just listing examples I can think of. Chill.
I don't think you can play with friends
Too bad it starts at 2AM over here. I need my Schönheitsschlaf.
How did that happen?

Well, can't be certain without trying them, but signs do seem to suggest that it's worth at least starting with motion.
Nope. Making your grap wider, does make your grab easier to counter attack though. If a fist collides with a grabbing fist, they will cancel each other out according to ARM weight. But if you hit through the green line, your fist breaks the grab and continues going.
This doesn't sound like the same error message, but back on the Splatoon testfire I had a problem that was fixed by powering down the console (not just sleep). Maybe give that a try?

hard-reset the system (not sleep mode, full power down) then reboot. did it ever work or did you just set it up for the first time?
double joycon. intended control method with full functionality.

I biggest thing for me here is learning that Treehouse has their own freakin' BLOG. Where have I been?!
He got a lil snippy and called someone an asshole.
There's part 2 and part 3 on the blog post.

Wait what? Seems like the first mention of being able to direct your ARMS vertically as well.

Oh shit. That's pretty neat!
Nintendo put up videos on how to attach and detach the straps to the Joycons.

Today's the first time I even bothered with them as I wanted my controllers set for when the testpunch goes lives. I honestly don't see why people had issues putting them on or off. Unless they really didn't stop and take a few seconds to look at them and the Joycons themselves. The process was pretty easy. Saw the above videos after I had set mine up.

I can see why people put them on the wrong way and get them stuck. They contradict the rest of the Switch's design language. What I mean is ... the Joy-Con Grip and the Switch console itself has these small indentations at the top. For example, there's groves to the left of the Switch's power button and to the right of the cartridge slot. The grips have the indentations at the bottom.

Isn't it an hour and 15 minutes away?
From what I've played from the review build, so far I personally believe pro controller trumps motion controls in every way. I can't imagine competitive play with motion controls. I also believe that controller vs motion controller would put the latter at a bigger disadvantage. That's just from my first cursory analysis based on about 2 hours of play. I definitely want to give the motion controls a bigger chance, but I've already had it happen where my character didn't do the grab when I motioned with both controllers forward, and to me, that's already a problem.
Motherfucking BST time screws me again. All the times I was shown was GMT. Fuck.
