This might be Nintendo's least impressive game visually so far. It honestly just looks like an upccaled version of Sun and Moon. It's a hardpass for me.
Just finished the Mutant Mudds Collection. Man what a set of mediocre games. I think I have to think twice now at some Nintendo Life's reviews for now on.
@Rafke Agreed we shouldn't have characters from a bad game be in Nintendo's flagship title. Let's hope they sweep ARMS under the rug and forget about that failure.
Shame to see Super Mario Party and Mario Tennis Aces on this list. Shows that people will buy just about anything, even if they are low quality products. Looks like ARMS was a failure after all. A 10 year old game is outselling it now lol.
@SimplyCinnamon53 The motion blur is pretty intense. You can get headache from playing it too long. Spyro 3 was clearly rushed for the holiday release window. Very glitchy and not as polished as the other 2 games. Also activisions crappy launch where only 1 game is on the disc.
No way has the Switch surpassed a good amount of those systems. ARMS is no system seller, its junk. This list is terrible, and I was fooled to give it a click.
This week alone almost makes up for the lackluster 1st party games this year. Mario Tennis Aces actually might be the worst 1st party title I've ever played.
@Ludovsky Don't get me wrong I like the system. 2019 looks great so far. So far though the 1st party output isn't looking the best. At the end of the day it's what sells consoles. I'm sure Smash and Pokemon are going to be a huge success this year.
Well if they keep making lousy and unfinished games like Mario Tennis Aces, Labo, ARMS, and 1 2 Switch they will never sell enough console. We need bigger titles and less gimmicky ones. Animal Crossing and Metroid are great starts if they come out next year.
@Obito_Sigma Resist it. This game is junk. No amount of characters will fix this games problems. Easily the worst Nintendo game I've played. Even worse than ARMS.
This game is the biggest ripoff on the system. No amount of online events is going to fix this issue. Nintendo should just stop wasting time with this game. Once Smash comes out, no one is playing ARMS again.
@HobbitGamer So you rather pay $50 on a useless accessory, then have an option for players who forked money for an actually useful controller? Interesting...
They probably should have spent more time on the actual main game than all this side content that's fun for maybe 5 minutes. Oh well maybe next Mario Party.
@BlueBlur101 I forgot to say I was only comparing the 1st year and a half for both consoles. Wouldn't be fair to compare a finished console to one that's not finished
@BlueBlur101 Ah ok lol. If we don't count ports or remakes, 1st party support for Wii U at this time would include. New Super Mario Bros, Nintendo Land, Sing Party, Game & Wario, Pikmin 3, Super Mario 3D World, NES Remix, Wii Fit U, Wii Party U, Pokemon Rumble U, Dr. Luigi , and Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze. The Switch had 1 2 Switch, ARMS, Snipperclips, Splatoon 2, Fire emblem Warriors, Super Mario Odyssey, Xenoblade 2, Kirby Star Allies, Nintendo Labo, Sushi Striker, Mario Tennis Aces, and Super Mario Party. Keep in mind this doesn't include 3rd party exclusives. I just think Wii U just had better games in the 1st year in a half. Now if you include ports and remakes, Switch wins down. There are way more games.
Only talking 1st Party wise. Didn't think I'd include BOTW because I see it as the Wii U's big Zelda while Switch should have a unique Zelda as well.

No amount of updates will make this game good. Just scrap it and put out the N64 version.

If your not picking up Outrun, then your playing the Switch wrong.
Re: Guide: The Best Super Mario Games, Toys And Merchandise To Spend Your Gold Coins On
I think it is safe to say you guys can miss out on Mario Tennis Aces and Super Mario Party. Honestly not much to see there.
Re: Hyperkin To Reveal New NES Light Gun Which Works With HDTVs
Too bad Hyperkin can't make a quality product at all.
Re: Treat Yourself To A Bargain Or Two With The Nintendo New Year's Sale In North America
@Porky I think it is physical only.
Re: Treat Yourself To A Bargain Or Two With The Nintendo New Year's Sale In North America
@MH4 Maybe for under $20. That game isn't worth a penny more.

Re: Feature: 30 Third-Party Nintendo Switch Ports We'd Love To See In 2019
That Spyro remaster in pretty bad. Better off not on Switch honestly.
Re: Feature: Game Of The Year 2018 - Staff Awards
@Rafke I had to go online and redeem it. The Xbox one doesn't make it free til the 1st.
Re: Feature: Game Of The Year 2018 - Staff Awards
@Rafke Celeste is available for free on Xbox now. I just downloaded it
Re: Valve Reveals Steam's Top Played Games With A Switch Pro Controller
It's an ok controller. The dpad holds it back quite a bit. The Xbox one controller is much better.
Re: Turns Out The Switch's Wireless NES Controllers Will Work With New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe
@NEStalgia I think it only needs the A, B and R buttons.
Re: Turns Out The Switch's Wireless NES Controllers Will Work With New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe
Well at least you can play the game with a good dpad now.

Re: Here Are The Game Awards 2018 Winners For Nintendo Switch
Overcooked 2 didn't gave strong competition at all. Mario Tennis and Mario Party are mediocre, and then there is cardboard.

@thesilverbrick no thanks. Can't mix the duds with the all-stars.
Re: Nintendo Hits Huge Milestones As Switch Sales Soar Across Black Friday And Cyber Monday
@XenoKidRex I wouldn't say that yet. Super Nintendo is still miles ahead.
Re: Analysts Believe Nintendo Will Fall Short Of Its Target To Ship 38 Million Switch By March 2019
@Beetoe Why yes I have. I wasn't impressed especially as a full price title.

@Obito_Sigma Resist it. This game is junk. No amount of characters will fix this games problems. Easily the worst Nintendo game I've played. Even worse than ARMS.
Re: Guide: Best Nintendo Switch Black Friday 2018 Deals
ARMS is still way to expensive. Make it $20 permanently.
Re: Nintendo Tries To Give ARMS A Leg-Up With New Party Crash Tournament Event
@JBBPro That's still too high of a price considering that FighterZ will be $25.
Re: Nintendo Tries To Give ARMS A Leg-Up With New Party Crash Tournament Event
This game is the biggest ripoff on the system. No amount of online events is going to fix this issue. Nintendo should just stop wasting time with this game. Once Smash comes out, no one is playing ARMS again.
Re: Pokémon: Let's Go Pikachu And Eevee Won't Include Pro Controller Support
@HobbitGamer Sorry about that I thought you wrote Pokeball. However you would think they would be able to map waggle to a button like ARMS.
Re: Pokémon: Let's Go Pikachu And Eevee Won't Include Pro Controller Support
@HobbitGamer So you rather pay $50 on a useless accessory, then have an option for players who forked money for an actually useful controller? Interesting...
Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Includes 59 Unique Assist Trophies
@ekwcll underrated? No the game is overrated. It's bad. Terrible gameplay, and a ripoff for $60 even after the free dlc.
Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Includes 59 Unique Assist Trophies
Kind of disappointing that ARMS made it at all. That's not exactly one of Nintendo's finer moments. Extremely happy with Dr. Wily though.
Re: Nintendo Treehouse: Live To Showcase Smash, Pokémon, Yoshi's Crafted World And Diablo After Direct
@Frenean Well I hope you enjoy the game then.
Re: Here Are The Top Ten Best-Selling Nintendo Switch Games As Of September 2018
Nice to see ARMS isn't selling much anymore. I was right it only sold because there were no other games to buy at the time.
Re: Nintendo Treehouse: Live To Showcase Smash, Pokémon, Yoshi's Crafted World And Diablo After Direct
No matter how much they show of Let's Go, It will never look good.
Re: Guide: How To Have Yourself A Roaring Super Mario Party
Your honestly just better playing one of the older Mario Partys with friends.

Re: Review: Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition - A 2D Wrestling Riot That Shines Again On Switch
@Rohanrocks88 I seen it on Cheapassgamer. I guess it's on the eshop.
Re: Review: Guacamelee! Super Turbo Championship Edition - A 2D Wrestling Riot That Shines Again On Switch
Remember you get 30% 0ff the sequel if you buy this game. I'm probably not double dipping because I own it on Wii U and Xbox One.

Re: Feature: Why Pokémon: Let's Go Is The Perfect Entry Point For Pokémon GO Players
Just another lazy title from Nintendo. At least we will have one good 1st party title this year, and it comes out in December.

Re: Limited Run Games Set To Release First And Only Wii U Game, Lost "A Lot" Of Money Making It Happen
@Frendo Too be fair 2016 was a better year for 1st party releases than 2018 was
