Arms is a brand new IP for Nintendo set for release on the Switch this spring. Does Arms have the potential to be Nintendo's next big IP?
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.
Nintendo has prepared a new version 5.4.1 update for ARMS, and the official patch notes are now available.
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.
I'm still pretty unsure about this game. It looks really fun on the one hand, but on the other I can't see myself playing it without others.
People don't like fighting games enough.
At all the footage at preview events I'm seeing a lot of people come out to say this was their favorite over Zelda which is surprising. I'm eager to try it out as I love fighting games, but I'm interested to see how it does with general public.
Good notes near the end. The game is getting a ton of attention but if it has 3 modes that all consist of punch-twisting, then it's not going to get a sequel that will build on that
