Not sure how I feel about Byte functionality and not sure about Cobra looks. I can see Twintelle being a smash character, considering she has regular arms.

I like how they just woke up someday with arms and not just born that way. lol Now we need a psychic character.

ARMS... Splatooning it up again. Except it looks nowhere as fun as Splatoon.

But hey, it's got testfires. I'll try it.

I can see they both gonna fail hard, Switch will sink to the bottom this gen and Nintendo will finally go full third-party like Sega.

I was extremely pleased with the direct, at first I thought they were going to have about 5 characters but they managed to fit 10 in, with more coming out eventually :)

I will definitely be picking up the game eventually. (and when I somehow manage to make the motion controls work with the limited space I have.)
