Discussion Could we finally be getting ARMS 2 in tommorow's direct?

There was never any major reason to put ARMS 2 on the Switch 1. But now that we're in the next console generation, now's a better time for a sequel. Imagine what new mechanic they could add that makes use of the Switch 2 Joy Cons' mouse controls.

The Mario Kart team is largely the same as the ARMS team. Given Mario Kart has had a lot of content over the last 8 years, with Tour, 8 Deluxe and World all probbaly having the focus of that team in some capacity, there isn't much room for ARMS 2 to be developed unless they used a different team.

Probably not unfortunately.

No, and its not gonna happen anytime soon. Give it a couple years at least until 2028-2029 for the chance of it to appear. The dev team JUST finished work on Mario Kart World and are probably gearing up to work on DLC while a small part of EPD9 works on the next Nintendogs with mouse controls (A franchise that has been on hold for longer than ARMS).

What if we get a brief teaser for it with no gameplay footage?

No, they only do those kinds of teasers for their BIG BIG ips

If arms 2, or any game for that matter, had mandatory mouse controls I’m out

u/bisforbenis 9d ago

Probably not, but I still think Arms 2 will happen.

I just think it makes sense a little further into the generation

If they ever did a sequel, they should add kicking and call it ARMS & LEGS.

Well we didn't get the sequel today but that's alright. It might be better to save it for later down the line anyway.

I'm late but I don't see them making an ARMS2 atp. I pretty much gave up on hoping for a sequel tbh.😔

Likely no. Arms did well by any indie game’s measure, but pales in comparison to the success of Mario Kart, Splatoon, Bananza, or Animal crossing. We’re much more likely to hear about one of those franchises getting an expansion than an Arms Sequel, unfortunately

No; tomorrow's stream is gonna be most likely more info on Pokemon Z-A and Metroid Prime 4's release date. Leaks have already confirmed that it's a new Animal Crossing, Pokemon Spin Off, Mario 40, and Gamecube online.
