Let 'em cry all they want.
Whether it becomes popular enough to gain a foothold will be decided on its own merits, after the official launch of the game, not through a single EVO preview.XD

Me, I'll be getting it asap. It looks like it'll be a blast.

SavageKuma2662d ago

Yea, I didn't understand how they could get so mad at something that might not happen.

It's a fighting game, I don't get why people are complaining. Seeing how fluid the controls appear to be, I think ARMS could be refreshing for the esports scene. It's unlike any other competitive game, really. Could be a lot of fun to watch.

SavageKuma2662d ago

Thanks for stopping in and commenting. I was getting hit hard with these questions and arguments. I played the game at the switch event and it was fun as hell.

wheresmymonkey2662d ago

I did too. The controls are spot on, and its a fantastic, really well balanced brawler.

ninsigma2662d ago

I think the game looks crap as hell but it's blatantly a fighting game. I don't get the issue with that.

SavageKuma2662d ago

I can't understand it either, but there are a few elitist out there that feel a fighting game needs to be like Street Fighter, Tekken or any of the norms out there.

DashArrivals2661d ago

Do you think people will learn to manipulate the controls to make it easier. Kind of like how with Wii Bowling you could bowl multiple strikes while sitting down and just moving your wrist and hand?

Scatpants2662d ago

It looks like a fighting game for casuals and children.

wheresmymonkey2662d ago

Its a fighting game, and a damn fine one too.

OC_MurphysLaw2662d ago

Its popularity will dictate whether or not it becomes a thing at EVO. There really is no point in discussing anything else

Nintendo Select: 5 Switch Games That Deserve A Second Chance

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "The Nintendo Switch has been one Nintendo’s most successful systems ever, both measured by the number of units sold and the quality of its titles, but if there’s one thing this generation has been missing it would have to be the Nintendo Selects line, bringing existing titles that had paid their dues back at bargain prices. With the Switch now entering its twilight years, and there being few new titles in store for the foreseeable future, what better time could there be to bring back this tried-and-true tradition? While the actual realization of it may be doubtful given how rigid both hardware and software prices have become in recent years, that only gives us all the more reason to dream up a hypothetical lineup of our own.

For this article the specific focus will not be on those massive multi-million evergreens that the lineup would no doubt contain a few of to cement its value, but instead on games that for one reason or another fell short of their full potential the first time around and deserve a second chance to reach more players at an affordable price. Let’s get started."

I really want Xenoblade Chronicles X on the Switch, can't believe that hasen't been ported. I'm playing Skyward Sword at the moment and I'm almost finished, but it's so long and the controls are so bad, even without motion. Astral Chain is fantastic though, they should make a sequel.

A bunch of Nintendo Switch games just got the same patch, but no one’s quite sure why

ARMS has received its first update in five years, but we'd prefer if it got a sequel

I got the same for Splatoon 2. Nintendo's release notes should be more detailed. Interesting.
