 Yes, I finally get to talk about ARMS after a couple of months. There's always little updates for games like Splatoon 2, ARMS, and all of Nintendo's various things that I don't really cover at Nintendo Prime on our YouTube channel because I'd be releasing like 13 different videos a day if I wanted to cover every little Nintendo update out there. But this is really interesting because data miners have discovered something like 20 characters total for ARMS, and some of them are characters that have already released, while some of them are ones that we have never even heard of. The report here that I'm reading off of NintendoEverything.com says Splatoon 2 isn't the only Nintendo game that has been recently data mined. Fans have also been pouring through the contents of ARMS and apparently found the internal code names for 20 fighters. Some that are already in the game and some that aren't. So here's the full list, here's the breakdown. So we've got Belt, who is Max Brass, Chain and Coil, those are two separate ones, they have no correlation to any character in the game right now, DNA, which is Helix, Hair, which is Twintel, Me, which is Minmin, Mummy, who is well, Mummy, Ninja, who's Ninjara, Plant, again another one that we don't know, Police, which is Bite and Bark, Ribbon, Ribbon Girl, Robo, again another new one, Scroll, yet another new one, Snake, that's Kid Cobra, Spring, aka Springman, and then there's Sumo, and then Surprise, and then Sweet, and then Twintail, not to be confused with Twintella, and then Worker, who is Mechanica, I guess is how you pronounce that name. So that means Chain, Coil, Plant, Robo, Scroll, Sumo, Surprise, Sweet, and Twintail are all things that are listed in the game, but are characters that do not currently exist. Now we don't know if this means they're going to be releasing these characters in future DLC updates, if they're going to charge for them, if they're going to be free updates, we have no idea, but it's interesting to know that that means there's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine potential new characters being added to arms this year over the course of the next couple years, very interesting, and there is a note here that while there are two entries for Twintail here, the hair codename seems to be the final finished version of the character, we're not entirely sure what the other one is, it could be a placeholder for another fighter or something else, that's of course in reference to Twintail. There were two other names apparently also discovered, but they're not as significant, there's Bosshead, who is Headlock, and RNA, which are the dummies, and we know that arms will be receiving more fighters, but Nintendo hasn't said when the additions will stop. The list above could be an indication, so we they've already added new fighters obviously through DLC updates, but one, two, you know, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, like nine new characters could potentially be added, that's a ton of new content on Nintendo, Nintendo is almost doubling the roster size essentially, post release, and probably doing it all for free, and this is just really really cool, we know that this isn't the first time Nintendo has done this, obviously we know about all the little updates they've added to Splatoon in the past and what they're doing with Splatoon 2, but we know in Smash they actually charged per character added the Smash Bros, and it'll be interesting to see if they bring that model into arms. I don't think they're going to, I think these are going to be free updates just because Arms is a brand new IP and doesn't have, doesn't have, you know, tens of millions of fans of it yet to kind of justify potentially selling these things. You want to keep building the strength of the game and the strength of the brand that the game is trying to build, so this is just really exciting news to me. I love Arms man, it is so much fun, it baffles my mind that this game even exists because they easily could have just shoehorned this idea of arms into like a punch out game or into another, you know, wee boxing type game, and instead they built this entire game, this entire fighting genre arena game around this concept of, you know, extendable arms, and I love it. Nintendo is, you know, it's not the the greatest game ever made, you know, it's not the second coming of Pikmin, you know, it's not the second coming of Metroid and Zelda and Mario, but it's just a really solid, high-quality title, new IP. This is the kind of Nintendo I grew up with, right? Arms and Splatoon, like this feels like even code named Steam, which, you know, obviously tanked, I really enjoyed the game. This feels like an era where Nintendo's experimenting and releasing new IPs, and this is what it was for me when I was a kid, like Mario wasn't a thing until Mario came out, Zelda wasn't a thing until Zelda came out, Metroid, Kid Icarus, Castlevania back then, even though it wasn't Nintendo, like all of these IPs we know and love today, Pokemon, like they didn't exist at one point until Nintendo created them, and here we are with Arms as another new IP, just blowing my mind, making me so happy, and all these new content updates. I like this approach they've done with Splatoon and are apparently doing with Arms in terms of Space You Note, content releases, keeping the community active for, you know, years at a time, instead of necessarily giving you everything right away, and then the online competitive community kind of dies out. I like it. This is awesome. Thank you so much, Nintendo, for getting back to the roots of what made your company so awesome for me when I was a kid in terms of all these new IPs, and this is crazy, man, potentially nine new characters to be added still to Arms out of a current lineup that is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 strong. I, man, and remember Max Brass wasn't there technically at launch, that was a release later, so that literally means they're doubling the size of the roster potentially here. This is, oh this is happy. As always, there'll be sources down in the comments below, or the comments below in the description below, and you guys let me know. Are you guys liking Arms? Are you gonna like, you know, are you happy that they're, they potentially have nine more characters to come? Let me know down in the comments below.
