Sigils, ETHEC. Nothing wrong with that since they did it so beautifully & each of their themes have a different tempo. Especially Spring Man, Helix, and Master Mummy. You can hear the small details that you can appreciate for that specific character.
Honestly, ARMS really needs its own anime. The character designs are epic, along with the music and stages. It's just too good to be left without one. Thank you to Mr. Yabuki for making the game extraordinary.
Man ARMS gets such a bum wrap from the people who picked it up and were bored after a few hours, but there's so much potential for the competitive scene, I'm convinced all the people who complained they were bored skipped over ranked or didn't put in an honest effort
Manuel Thompson I feel the same way for a lot of competitive games specifically ones that require remembering commands. ARMS is more simplistic but requires you to predict what's coming next. I like fighting games that are simpler because I can learn to play it at a serious and casual level.
I agree, the thing that threw me off about ARMS at first was how people were able cheese victories easily depending on their arms/character. During the global test punch, the constant Ninjara's that would constantly grab annoyed the crap out of me. During the games release, the Helix's that would lag while using his stretch ability, Kid Cobra's dash, the damage on the hydras etc were incredibly frustrating for many people to the point where they gave up on the game before it could be fixed. The freeze/electrify then grab combo, the people who only focused on gaining their special amplified the notion that this game didn't take any skill for a lot of players. Overtime as I got better, these tactics became easy to read, which made me realize that blaming it on "unbalanced" mechanics was due my to inexperience. Many of these issues were eventually patched, but it took too long and most of the player base had already moved on to Splatoon 2. I also think the fact that people were impatient for new characters, arms and stages to be released led to its so called "death." If they do make a sequel, I hope they change the method to receive arms, bc the mini game sucks & add more lore/story because I feel that they presented the characters as ones that would have background when in reality it is all subjective to the official art & the player's interpretations.
Apparently, he destroyed Andre from Gamexplain. Andre's put hundreds and hundreds of hours into Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and even won several tournaments. That's what I remember at least.
I have a hunch we'll get something from ARMS later on because they shouldn't leave us in the dark between now and the graphic novel releasing in January (and I don't mean Party Crash). What exactly, I don't have a clue.
thank you for bringing us ARMS! it's been years since i fell in love with a new IP like this! amazing game amazing deph! hoping for ARMS 2 and ARMS representation in SMASH!!!
I really love ARMS! Thanks for making and supporting this game Nintendo. I'm looking forward to the comic in January, and I hope there's a sequel in the future.
Thank you, Mr Yabuki, for giving this interview, and for ARMS. Thanks to every one who worked on the game as well. My favorite characters are Dr. Coyle and Master Mummy. Master Mummy feels like a boss that you would have to fight, but instead get to play as. Dr. Coyle is super nerdy (like me), can grow an extra mechanical arm, can go invisible, and even has an arm called, the "Parabola". I love the programming references in Dr Coyle's bio, and her back-story makes her a really dynamic and interesting character.
Arms is for me the most creative, most fun and the best fihthing game of the last 18 years. it's really unique and i really hope the game will sell much more copies and get a sequel (:
I'm so obsessed with ARMS and the characters it is definitely my 2nd favorite Nintendo...anything right behind Smash bros. (Springman for smash) I even got the ARMS comic book promo
ARMS is my favourite Switch multi-player game, even before Splatoon 2 and MK8D. Also, you can never go wrong with Min Min. She had better be in a sequel - and Smash.
He mentioned Animal Crossing over Kirby, Metroid. Maybe it’s because I’ve never played Animal Crossing but seems a bit odd to mention that before the other franchises, maybe means there’s a new one on the way? I know lots of people want one on the Switch so thought I’d mention it
because Kirby is not directly from Nintendo. it's from HAL, a partnerstudio from Nintendo. and many Metroids since GameCube come also not directly from Nintendo. Animal Crossing is a pure Nintendo thing ^^
At first, I wasn't really sure I'd like ARMS that much, but BOY was I wrong! The battles are so much fun! It's the perfect blend of a competitive fighting game and a fun party game! I really like how unique and full of personality all the characters are! I absolutely love this game and its characters and I hope to see more of this game and franchise in the future! Spring Man for Smash Switch! :D
I sank over 100 hours into this game, though for some reason I grew to enjoy Splatoon 2 more. I'd love to get back into this game again one day, however with the bounty of new Splatoon 2 content recently, Arms really gotta do something massive to grab us back in
Great interview with Mr. Yabuki. I really want his sweater too. But it was a bit quiet, and it seemed really slow. Possibly add a bit of music in their, not too loud, and raise the volume for Mr. Yabuki. I know Mr. Yabuki is a quiet man, and lets his victories do most of the yelling.
I would play arms a lot more of they kept updating it like splatoon. I love the game so much, it was the second game I picked up for my switch. It would make me happy if they had a big update soon
Thanks Mr. Yabuki for making a great fighting game with great characters, ARMS is one of my favorite games I've ever played and more people should give it a chance. The characters are my favorite part of ARMS, you did such a great job designing them. (cough, a huge step up from the trash characters in MK8D such as baby rosalina, pink gold peach, cat peach, ect. cough) My favorite character from ARMS is Max Brass. Thanks for making a great character! He's definitely Top 5 favorite character material, he might be placed at number 2. :)
#SpringMan4Smash As someone who's managed to get to Rank 16 and has spent almost 200 hours playing this game, I can say I absolutely love it and hope to see Spring Man (and maybe Ribbon Girl) in Smash for Switch. Thank you Mr. Yabuki for an amazing game (And that little trick at spring stadium) and I look forward to any project with your name on it in the future
Fangsabre you say "almost 200 hours" like it means something. 200 hours is casual territory in a game unless you got it like 10 days ago. I played my main Pokemon Ultra moon for about 296 hours so far... That's the most casually I've played a game in a couple decades. If you're playing less than four or five hundred... That is a sign the player in question is a casual player or the game has very little to offer content-wise. So are you a bad player or is it lacking in content like US/UM?
Sigils, ETHEC. And I suppose you've spent 10,000 hours on the game oh great one. I said it. Because I've spent a lot of time on the game and enjoy playing it so that's why
- So the prototype Switches were basically modified Wii U GamePads, interesting. - I wonder if the team anticipated Twintelle's popularity. This would play a role on which ARMS rep will get in Smash, be it Day 1 or DLC. - It's good to know that they're gonna keep the Party Crashes & balance updates coming for ARMS.
ARMS is a great game!
True.
Very underrated indeed!!
Gge Retsae But ARMS is already getting a comic book...
Gge Retsae I think ARMS 2 ( and Smash Bros maybe) is going to make this franchise FAR more popular.
Gge Retsae Well Yabuki CONFIRMED that he has plans for a sequel soooo..
You can give ARMS all the crap you want, but one thing is for sure it's got a killer theme song. Gets me pumped every time I hear it.
seeing the Prototype is kinda cool
Vitalij Brem I love that
We want more ARMS merch for the west, that jacket is amazing, and would also KILL for an ARMS art book or soundtrack.
It took Splatoon a while for its merchandise to come to the West, so we just have to be patient.
We’re getting a Comic Book for starters at least 😊 I’m sure these things will roll out eventually
Soundtrack seems rather redundant when there's one song what with the rest being a remix of the main theme.
Sigils, ETHEC. Nothing wrong with that since they did it so beautifully & each of their themes have a different tempo. Especially Spring Man, Helix, and Master Mummy. You can hear the small details that you can appreciate for that specific character.
Mr Yabuki deserves his own Amiibo
Thank you for making this game, it’s so hard to find completely original ideas these days. I hope ARMS 2 is on the way!
It probably is, but not in the near future (we *just* got the first game).
ValiantPixel I was going to make the exact same comment!
I hope so too! But like Neoxon said we just got the first game, so we probably won’t see it until like 3-4 years or something.
ValiantPixel They need to expand the lore this time.
you mean legs
can we please get an arms art book? seeing the twintelle concept was cool id like to see more of them for all the characters
TazmilysHero Well ARMS is getting a comicbook
Dani Patac really? thats awesome! :D
yup fall of this year iirc
Musomania27 It's been delayed to January 2019.
LadyTanglepath ah ok. Either way lookin forward to it
I WANT THAT JACKET.
Honestly, ARMS really needs its own anime. The character designs are epic, along with the music and stages. It's just too good to be left without one. Thank you to Mr. Yabuki for making the game extraordinary.
ARMS Prototypes ran on the Wii U....interesting
LOL the wires look HORRENDOUS. XDXD
Probably just an early switch prototype
That's an early Switch prototype using the Wii U GamePad as a shell.
Neoxon wow, how do you know?
Hector Velazquez That’s how it usually works for new systems in development.
Thank you so much for making such awesome games and bringing Arms to life. Easily my favorite fighting game on the Switch so far.
Ryan R. Just gotta wait till smash 5 comes out
Lmao! Of course! It's freaking Smash Bros. for Christ's sake!
My most played game on the switch! You did a fantastic job transitioning a fighting game into a 3d space and making it feel completely different.
Man I love that jacket
This man is a treasure, that people can't keep their ARMS off!
So... when the official arms hoodies coming?
Man ARMS gets such a bum wrap from the people who picked it up and were bored after a few hours, but there's so much potential for the competitive scene, I'm convinced all the people who complained they were bored skipped over ranked or didn't put in an honest effort

I don't think he has taken off that hoodie after arms launched!
Jacob Blobaum would you?
My only question for Mr. Yabuki is where I can get one of those jackets he has on
arms is so underrated ;-;
ARMS is so excellent! Definitely one of my favorite Switch games so far. It's always nice to hear from Mr. Yabuki about this game.
Same
It’s one of my most played switch games! And yeah, hearing him talk about it always makes me smile cause you can tell how proud of it he is
hey i know u
I agree. I'm excited for the upcoming graphic novel!
Undefeated at ARMS is very impressive! How good is he in MK8DX?
BloonH8TR yeah cause nobody is playing this game
Ilijas Avdic people still play, just check out the arms reddit
Male fortnite for Nintendo swich
Apparently, he destroyed Andre from Gamexplain. Andre's put hundreds and hundreds of hours into Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and even won several tournaments. That's what I remember at least.
Caleb Willden Wow! I remember Andre talking about his victories at Pax, I'm still kinda surprised
What a great video!
Something about yabuki just gives off some comforting vibes man. ARMS is awesome amen
I love Arms
THE MAN THE MEME THE LEGEND
thank you for making my favourite game to date. I love ARMS
You made an awesome game and I am so grateful for your hard work.
So underrated, I wish this became an esport.
Arms is the best game on switch !!!
Jo *OUR**
Psowak 22 Best well that's subjective. It's an underrated title that doesn't get the love it deserves.
Boxish i want to get splatoon by seems like its not easy to win as there is no voive chat and its a team based game.. Lmk if im wrong
I have a hunch we'll get something from ARMS later on because they shouldn't leave us in the dark between now and the graphic novel releasing in January (and I don't mean Party Crash).
What exactly, I don't have a clue.
WarioBrose I'll give you a hint it rhymes with Flash mothers
thank you for bringing us ARMS! it's been years since i fell in love with a new IP like this! amazing game amazing deph! hoping for ARMS 2 and ARMS representation in SMASH!!!
I really love ARMS! Thanks for making and supporting this game Nintendo. I'm looking forward to the comic in January, and I hope there's a sequel in the future.
Someone hurry, tell Etika to see the master of ARMS itself show his wisdom to us!!!
Mr. Yabuki will crush anyone who want to beat him.
ARMS has become my most favorite game of all time. The characters and arms are so awesome and wacky! Thanks I hope you keep supporting the game!
Thank you, Mr Yabuki, for giving this interview, and for ARMS. Thanks to every one who worked on the game as well. My favorite characters are Dr. Coyle and Master Mummy. Master Mummy feels like a boss that you would have to fight, but instead get to play as. Dr. Coyle is super nerdy (like me), can grow an extra mechanical arm, can go invisible, and even has an arm called, the "Parabola". I love the programming references in Dr Coyle's bio, and her back-story makes her a really dynamic and interesting character.
Thank you for ARMS, Yabuki-san! This is still my absolute fav game on the Switch!
I love his work! ARMS is so fun to play and I play it every day!
Arms is underrated! We want more contents and updates!
Arms is for me the most creative, most fun and the best fihthing game of the last 18 years. it's really unique and i really hope the game will sell much more copies and get a sequel (:
Man I wish they put that bowling game in there.
Thank you for this great game! Min Min 💕
I love the gameplay concept for ARMS in motion control, hope there's gonna be more new content for this game.
The mere existence of this videogame brings me a lot of joy.
I love ARMS. It's so much fun.
Nobody can defeat this man
We better see the arms cast for smash
I mean people love Twintelle for more than her background...
Like the back-rou-
I'm so obsessed with ARMS and the characters it is definitely my 2nd favorite Nintendo...anything right behind Smash bros. (Springman for smash) I even got the ARMS comic book promo
For some reason, this video, above all else, inspires me to buy the game
Such a cool guy. I’d love to meet him someday!
I wish they still added new characters to this game...
longg kong I mean it's got a decent variety and number for a fighting game. Not every game can be SMASH. Even smash only started with 12
I still wanted that Sumo Character that suppose to be in there. Oh well.😔
I know, I’m just saying I want more.
Not gonna lie; I want one of those neon Arms jackets
A god among gamers. Mr. Yabuki is just Awesome.
Where do you gat that arms sweater
Thank you and your team for ARMS good sir. Definitely my most wanted Switch game (excluding Smash of course)
ARMS is my favourite Switch multi-player game, even before Splatoon 2 and MK8D. Also, you can never go wrong with Min Min. She had better be in a sequel - and Smash.
No matter what kind of game it is i'm almost always a sucker for a good Boxing series
I forgot skywardwing was in the ARMS tournament at E3! That was cool!
Still sad that there’s no more fighter updates
Yabuki is my hero
I love you mr. Yabuki
Only Yabuki could've thought of an amazing title for Switch!
He mentioned Animal Crossing over Kirby, Metroid. Maybe it’s because I’ve never played Animal Crossing but seems a bit odd to mention that before the other franchises, maybe means there’s a new one on the way? I know lots of people want one on the Switch so thought I’d mention it
I was looking for a comment regarding this!!!! YES!!! I want it so badly.
because Kirby is not directly from Nintendo. it's from HAL, a partnerstudio from Nintendo. and many Metroids since GameCube come also not directly from Nintendo.
Animal Crossing is a pure Nintendo thing ^^
Yabuki-Sensei, the ultimate ARMS boss
where is bowling mode in ARMS yabuki?
At first, I wasn't really sure I'd like ARMS that much, but BOY was I wrong! The battles are so much fun! It's the perfect blend of a competitive fighting game and a fun party game! I really like how unique and full of personality all the characters are! I absolutely love this game and its characters and I hope to see more of this game and franchise in the future! Spring Man for Smash Switch! :D
*I LOVE THIS MAN*
Interesting look at prototype Switches and prototype footage.
Mr Yabuki = MVP
Make arms amazing!!!
Put in story mode
And add twintelle in smash. Thanks she even in the video
I love you man.
I love arms
That hoodie is legit
Get these Arms!
I really wish this game was more popular
Those hand motions when he was talking about Twintelle...
Spring man for Smash
A GotY-Edition of ARMS with all the DLC would be great for collectors like me.
Amazing!
I sank over 100 hours into this game, though for some reason I grew to enjoy Splatoon 2 more. I'd love to get back into this game again one day, however with the bounty of new Splatoon 2 content recently, Arms really gotta do something massive to grab us back in
TeckGeck *to grab YOU back in
I wish they still were adding characters, or even new arms by themselves. RIP my hopes for vine, origami, rope, and magic users.
Great interview with Mr. Yabuki. I really want his sweater too. But it was a bit quiet, and it seemed really slow. Possibly add a bit of music in their, not too loud, and raise the volume for Mr. Yabuki. I know Mr. Yabuki is a quiet man, and lets his victories do most of the yelling.
lol There is music in the background! I had my volume lower before, and decided to raise it to hear if it sounded any better.
Funny to see how they made the game
I would play arms a lot more of they kept updating it like splatoon. I love the game so much, it was the second game I picked up for my switch. It would make me happy if they had a big update soon
Thanks Mr. Yabuki for making a great fighting game with great characters, ARMS is one of my favorite games I've ever played and more people should give it a chance.

Boa, perfekt zum release
Wow very interesting !

I hope that when the merch comes out I get a Min Min hat.
This man Is a genious
Arms is sick
I'm wisihng for The Art of Arms Book!!!
Nintendo, please make those sweet Yabuki jackets available to the fans! WANT! :)
Yes
Imagine if you could unlock character specific gear like you do in Splatoon

Awesome game. I'd gladly pay for a pack of new characters.
Damn, I was hoping there would be word on DLC because I REALLY want to try out that prototype Bowling game.
I need the sweater
we want Arms 2!
