Nintendos Arms, et kampspil eksklusivt til Nintendo Switch, vil få sin egen eSports-serie i Japan senere i år. Producer bag spillet, Kosuke Yabuki har talt med Times om spillets eSports-potentiale, og han mener, det står i en unik position, på grund af sin motion control-funktionalitet.
"I think that's a great take, and I actually think Arms might be the first game that has such depth with its technique in its motion controls" udtalte han. "I think it would be great if Arms were to become an esport, but it's not quite clear yet whether Nintendo will go down that path and become a proper esport. It's not a certainty yet that Arms will be a huge hit with people. We'll see how many people play. But if it does go down that route, we'll see what Nintendo as a company does with esports."
