@WiltonRoots ARMS looks like a masterpiece. I can say while ARMS has terrible gameplay at least it doesn't look generic and lifeless. Mario Tennis and Super Mario Party are worse games.
@BlueBlur101 The Wii U I felt had a way better string of 1st party titles in the 1st year and a half. Nothing on Switch can compare to Pikmin 3. That's easily one of Nintendo's best games ever.
@Waluigifan I'm assuming not. Nintendo doesn't like to give us options unless if it's in Smash these days. Feels like two separate company's sometimes lol
Yeah I'm just going to wait for Mario Party 2. No Motion control garbage. Handheld mode. Actually real Mario Party gameplay. More than 4 boards. I'm sorry 8 out of 10 is way to generous. This is the same studio that made the garbage Mario Partys. You can't take out the stuff that makes Mario Party and call it Mario Party. Majority of these modes will be played for 5 minutes. They should have put in way more boards as that's the mode players will spend the majority of there time in. Get rid of ND Cube and get someone else to make Mario Party next time.
@Donutman No people who buy a physical Game shouldn't have to download a portion of the game they bought. Just because you have good internet doesn't mean everyone does. Your supporting a very bad practice here.
Doesn't seem like a good bundle compared to the Mario bundle last year. Mario Tennis and 1 2 Switch aren't exactly heavy hitters or very good. I don't see a lot of these being sold this Christmas.
Hopefully now Sonic Mania outsells ARMS now. The fact a love letter to Classic Sonic fans is getting outsold for what is essentially $60 shovelware really bothers me.
All I see this year are mediocre 1st party releases and ports. 2018 is an awful year for Switch owners. Even 2017 had some stinkers (ARMS) that came out. 2019 looks much better. As for the rest of the year you have Mario Party (Who knows if that's any good), Pokemon (Very casual looking), and Smash. Not exactly the best lineup.
I'm really starting to think games like ARMS and Mario Tennis Aces got way too high of scores on this site. No way is ARMS as good as Sonic Mania and better than Captain Toad. Mario Tennis was obsolete the day it came out. Nintendo isn't producing $60 here. There releasing $30 games for full price.
Do not buy this game at full price. There was a reason this was $50 on Wii U. It's very short. Great game but not worth $10 more at launch just for the Funky mode. This and ARMS should have not been $60. Nintendo is just just trying to rip you guys off.
I really want the team to work on an amazing Mario Kart instead. Would not be interested in a sequel to ARMS at all. Gameplay wasn't very good and lack of content hurt this game.
15 Characters in 2017 is pathetic especially at $60. We can put ARMS in Nintendo's failure pile. Game only sold well because we were in the middle of a drought.
1. 3DS needs to go 2. Virtual Console for Switch. 3. No more gimmicky motion control games. (ARMS 1 2 Switch) 4. No forced Motion controls. ( Mario) 5. Metroid, Starfox, F-Zero 6. Good Mario Spinoffs. None of the 3ds or Wii U junk
They really should have done this earlier. More people would probably still play this. Don't know why Nintendo got this right with Splatoon, but horribly wrong with ARMS.
@JasmineDragon Rocket League Mario Kart, Puyo Puyo Tetris and Splatoon 2 are way better games to play with friends. ARMS was overpriced with the little to no content, that only sold because nothing was out.

Re: Review: Super Mario Party - The Life And Soul Of The Party Once More
@lillith All they need to do is make a greatest hits package of the older Mario Partys and just copy what Hudson did.

@koekiemonster and yet it has better games than the Switch.
Re: Review: Super Mario Party - The Life And Soul Of The Party Once More
@PanurgeJr Is that why we haven't had a good Mario Party come out since Mario Party DS back in 2007?

Re: Feature: The Nintendo Switch Games That Could Work In VR
@Anti-Matter ARMS isnt great. It's probably Nintendo's worst game this gen besides Mario Tennis Aces.
Re: The Nintendo Switch Mobile App Has Been Updated To Support Voice Chat On More Games
Why even bother with ARMS anymore? It's a dead game now. As soon as Smash comes out, ARMS isn't relevant anymore. Just take the loss and move on.

Re: Well Would You Look At That, A Hat In Time Is Coming To Switch
I recommend getting this. It was a better game than Mario. Way more charm and character also no forced motion controls.

Re: Talking Point: Switch's Blazing First Year Means Fewer Games In 2018 Shouldn't Be A Concern
@WiltonRoots Stay away from ARMS until you see it in a bargain bin. It's a complete ripoff at $60.

Re: The Good Old Wii U Lives On As A Virtual Boy Replacement In WarioWare Gold
Well since the Wii U is better than the Switch right now, its nice to see it appear in games. Hopefully we see more of the Wii U.

Re: ARMS Producer Open To Sequel In The Future, Would Like To Reveal 'Unknown Stories'
@LUIGITORNADO well It's like a Wii Sports Minigame costing $60 instead of free.

Re: Metacritic Ranks Nintendo Second In Its 2017 Game Publisher Rankings
@Dethmunk I'm assuming 3ds would be counted into this as well. So add in those titles. Might be 12.
Re: Metacritic Ranks Nintendo Second In Its 2017 Game Publisher Rankings
@loyalroyal1989 Wolfenstein is every bit as good as Mario and Zelda. I personally liked it better than both.
Re: Metacritic Ranks Nintendo Second In Its 2017 Game Publisher Rankings
Gee thanks ARMS. Could have had 1st place if that junk never came out.
Re: Review: Owlboy (Switch eShop)
An ugly game and way overpriced. Sorry don't see what was so hyped up about this game.
Re: Soapbox: Nintendo's Riding High On Switch's Wave, But What Does It Need To Do To Stay There?
Make more games people want (Metroid, Zelda, Starfox), and not games people don't want ( ARMS, 1 2 Switch, Snipperclips).

Re: Feature: What We Want From Nintendo In 2018
@TheMisterManGuy There is a big difference between Gyro aiming and waggle controls. Those 2 "games" use waggle.
Re: Feature: What We Want From Nintendo In 2018
1. 3DS needs to go
2. Virtual Console for Switch.
3. No more gimmicky motion control games. (ARMS 1 2 Switch)
4. No forced Motion controls. ( Mario)
5. Metroid, Starfox, F-Zero
6. Good Mario Spinoffs. None of the 3ds or Wii U junk
Re: ARMS Version 5.0 Is The Last Content Update The Game Will Recieve
@maruse ARMS is not nearly as good as Splatoon. ARMS is about as good as Mario Party 10.
Re: ARMS Version 5.0 Is The Last Content Update The Game Will Recieve
I'm glad, hopefully ARMS doesn't get a sequel. Let it rot with there other failed IPs. Bring back Punch-Out next time.
Re: Picross e8 is Heading to 3DS in North America This Week
@LegendOfPokemon I want that right now!
Re: ARMS Version 5.0 Update is Coming This Year, With Another New Character
Honestly I hope ARMS just dies off. Punch-Out would have been much better. Could have used the characters in ARMS as other boxers honestly.
Re: Reminder: Time is Running Out to Get the Pre-Purchase Discount on Mutant Mudds Collection

Re: Guide: The Best Nintendo Christmas Gifts For 2017 - US Edition

Re: Tennis In The Face Will Open Service On Switch Next Week

Re: Spring Man Triumphs in First ARMS Party Clash

Re: Review: Mario Party: The Top 100 (3DS)
The only reason the game scored low is because DK is not playable. Some idiot thought Rosalina was more popular than DK. Never in a million years.

Splatfest, Red Steel 2, and Wario Land 3.

Re: Review: Sonic Forces (Switch)
@Biff_ARMStrong Great isn't the word I would be describing ARMS with.
Re: Review: Sonic Forces (Switch)
@Biff_ARMStrong Well at least it plays better than ARMS.
Re: Video: Get Up to Speed With the Sonic Forces Launch Trailer
Already looks better than ARMS ever did.
Re: Get Ready To Party With This New Trailer For Mario Party: The Top 100
Where is Donkey Kong? He has been in more Mario Partys than Rosalina.
Re: Random: SEGA Goes for Laughs in Eggman Promotion for Sonic Forces
@BLP_Software I guarantee Pushsquare will give this game around a 5. If it's not an interactive movie, games can't score well there.
