That'd be cool. I feel like the Pro Controller is gonna be the best way to play if you want to be serious and competitive.

Interested in this as a competitive game. Wish I understood how defense works better. Seems like the best defense is getting out of the way instead of blocking. Looks like it has some depth, but the games closest cousin in my eyes is actually the Naruto series of games and less street fighter.
More SF, and this game has big potential.

You already have standard controls as a secondary option. Why are you upset?
Just to point it out, a majority of Splatoon 1 players used motion controls. Either way, you can opt to use traditional controls ARMS if you want, so I don't see the issue.
At the risk of sounding arrogant, the people who won't buy the game simply because it uses motion controls are quite honestly, being babies. Not only do you have a conventional control scheme available as an option, but this isn't blind Wii-mote waggle controls either. ARMS uses very precise and very specific gestures for it's controls. It's fine to prefer more traditional controls, but to act like the default motion controls are somehow damaging the game is silly and ignorant.

Arms is definitely far from Naruto ninja storm series especially considering the latter lacks any depth and strategy.

It has controller support.I really want controller support because otherwise I can't do local multiplayer without a second pair of joycons and forget buying those for $70.
Actually, the combat is pretty reminiscent of Storm 1, each arm being an assist, the cool downs resembling the return of each glove. It's not a poor comparison, but there's no KnJ or anything to really break things. Not having a way to escape hits is the major difference.
The glove match up seems like it's going to be the bulk of this game.
I think this way of thinking of really trying to put ARMS in a box is why SFV performed the way it did. Marketing this as something anyone can play without having to learn inputs, which is what will happen for the "button" configuration, is casting a wider net.You don't need motion controls to cast that wider net. The people buying Switches aren't buying it cuz of motion controls. They already got people who don't play Zelda to play the new Zelda.

Use the joycons grip. That works tooPro controller is $70.

Nintendo has three fighters now. Smash, Pokken, and Arms.
This could be Pokken's last year unless Nintendo ports it to the Switch.
But your limited with a single joy-con.
No one likes motion controls in 2017. I wish they would be killed. Ugh.
http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2017/02/you_can_play_arms_with_one_joy-con_but_its_not_recommendeddo you have a source for this statement?
Famitsu: Can they play without any problems, using only one Joy-Con?
Kosuke Yabuki: Yes. But their available actions might be a little limited. So you should use two Joy-Con when you're looking to get serious that's how we designed the game.
You misunderstood. You CAN play with a single joycon. Doesn't mean you can't play with the grip+ 2 joycons connected.

What does this have to do with not being able to play the game with both joy con attached to the Grip...

I know that you can play with the grip. My point was you can play with a single joy-con but it's not gonna be the full experience, which means if you want to play split-screen with another person and get the full experience you need another pair of joy-cons or a pro controller.What does this have to do with not being able to play the game with both joy con attached to the Grip...
Honestly the grip is fine. It's small but you can get used to it and play games at high level with it. The lack of a proper D-Pad doesn't even bother me. I kinda prefer the new D-Pad layout.tl;dr Just buy a Pro Controller it's great.
This type of arena fighter, which is super popular in Japan w/ Gundam EXVS, is all about movement. Blocking is more a last resort than primary defense.
...
It feels good, man.
It's funny when I think about the fact that ARMS being on a console/portable hybrid actually gives it an edge when it comes to local play.
We can't even be sure the next Gundam game will throw us a bone and give us LAN!

Do the red lines represent invisible stage boundaries? Never played the Gundam Extreme series, but the levels always seemed bigger to me.
Depends on how the game controls. The way I currently see it the motion will be replaced with the analog sticks.I wonder if Nintendo will support fightsticks.
All I'm saying is that they should advertise that option. Also some people just refuse the idea of non-traditional controllers.At the risk of sounding arrogant, the people who won't buy the game simply because it uses motion controls are quite honestly, being babies.

With all the limited Joycon colours Nintendo are releasing, somehow i dont think having multiple joy cons will be an issue for most.

Has anyone actually said they wouldn't buy it for this reason tho?
I'm not really sure an arena fighter like arms would lend itself well to a stick? I think I'd rather just play with a pro controller.I wonder if Nintendo will support fightsticks.
I really want fucking gold Zelda joy cons but I feel like I'll be waiting years.
Who knows
I'd bet that Nintendo are going to release a BotW GotY version with all the DLC included these holidays. Throwing in a set of custom joycons in a limited edition seems pretty likely.
Also Re Arms. Coming out after Mario Kart should be huge for it as most will probably buy a 2nd set of Joycons for 4player local co op in Mario Kart.
Do you just need one joycon to play Mario kart?

Hopefully it's as fun as Virtual ON. Really excited for ARMS. Also hope it doesn't die quickly like Pokken lol
