Forgotten Nintendo Switch Exclusive Reportedly Getting Switch 2 Sequel 9 Years Later

by

A Nintendo Switch game that originally launched with the console and was somewhat overlooked is now supposedly getting a follow-up. While the game received decent reviews (a 77 on Metacritic) and sold a few million copies, it wasn’t a massive commercial success like some other Nintendo titles. Because of this, most people didn’t expect a sequel, but reports suggest one is in development.

According to Nintendo insider Nash Weedle – a reliable source – a sequel to Arms is currently in development for the next Nintendo console, the Switch 2. Weedle claims this new Arms game will be exclusive to the Switch 2 and will feature the same fist-fighting combat and online multiplayer as the original, but with improved vibration technology to make impacts feel more realistic.

Release Date and Other Salient Information

This report doesn’t include a release date or any information about when the game will be officially announced. However, rumors suggest a major Nintendo Direct presentation is planned for next month, and the game might be revealed then.

Since Arms was developed by a relatively unknown Nintendo team, we don’t have any information about their past work or current schedule. This makes it impossible to even guess when a sequel might be released, if one is actually in development.

Keep in mind that this report shouldn’t be taken as definitive. It’s unofficial, and even if it’s currently true, things can always change during game development. Games are frequently cancelled, particularly before they’ve been publicly announced.

Nintendo hasn’t responded to this report, which is typical for them. They rarely comment on rumors like this, and we don’t anticipate them doing so now. However, if they do release a statement, we’ll be sure to add it to this article.
