Its not another game from the wii u

[RosweeSon]

Sorry what games have been from the Wii U so far?.. ah yes Mario Kart isn't even out yet despite it being a truly fantastic game and splatoon 2 is a month or 2 away but still a pretty great game not a Mario Kart 8 sure but of course the best of the best Wii U games will get a Switch version, not like Xbox re did gears 1 or halo collection or are now relying on new games getting added to BC list to pad out their "new?" Releases, not like Xbox and Sony even have had their fair shares of remasters and rereleases, bioshock collection Lego Harry 1-7, heavy rain/beyond 2 souls. Great games get a second chance 😱 No ones asks you to buy again, splatoon doubt I'll bother but Mario Kart 8 hell yeah Switch version is day 1 for me. Amazing game.

[RosweeSon]

Haha oh yeah I suppose Zelda is as well, did actually forget that but then not got round to starting it off yet wanna nail some Mario Kart first get to grips with console then get into something a bit more meaty... Zelda ;) but yeah 1 game that was due for Wii U the rest aren't except Mario Kart next week, splatoon a month or 2 later but yeah great games deserve another chance.

I've heard rather mediocre things about this game. I really don't think it's worth getting excited over

[Erik7357]

Where? From the latest gameplay it actually looked pretty good.

I liked the 2 v 2 thing, a lot of weapons you could switch, bunch of new maps and new characters shown.

[RosweeSon]

Changes aside its Mario Kart 8 from Wii U it's not gonna be overly different which is a pretty good thing as it was great to begin with, if it's not broke don't fix it, happy we get all the DLC the extra characters are cool if a little uninspiring and the battle mode and extras should make it more than worth the purchase to be fair I'd have taken Mario Kart 8 again as it was. Great fun and now portable 🙌🏻

I agree. Prior to the previous Nintendo Direct, I thought it looked rather meh, but the gameplay trailer they showed actually had me interested. It's a shame it wasn't a launch title. Still unsure if I will get it day 1, but I certainly want to play it eventually since that last trailer. Could be a ton of a fun.

[ElementX]

I think it was Beastcast.

[RosweeSon]

Never heard of them and I wonder why 🤔 Ah that's it they clearly talking dribble. Don't believe everything you read sure not gonna be everyone's cup of tea but if you like great fun games 👍🏻

[GameBoyColor]

All i've heard was mostly positive with excitement for it being possibly a pretty food fighter for competition.

[Testfire]

Well a lot of people said the same of Splatoon, and look how that turned out.

[Erik7357]

Got high ratings and the people who got it loved it was how it turned out so thats pretty good indication for arms then I guess?

[RosweeSon]

Well having actually played it being as it's already out on Wii U have you not seen the reviews it's one of the best Mario karts in years if not ever, sure this is a rerelease and changes have been made but Famitsu have given it a 35/40 for a remaster? Yeah must be awful.

[Erik7357]

But I didn't have a wiiu so the whole flaw of it being on wiiu doesn't even apply to me and probably to all the people who love to mention that in the comment section of n4g. Its a brand new mario kart for overwhelming majority of people.

Have many friends that want it once this mario kart they never got to play comes out on it.

Holds up well too because of its fantastic art style

[RosweeSon]

Erik your in for a treat it plays like a dream. Enjoy.

[Perjoss]

I heard you don't have to play it with motion controls, which is great as I'm not a huge fan of those. I was going to wait for a price drop but if you can play it on the pro controller I'm in. Looking forward to it.

[GameBoyColor]

Local splitscreen sold it to me as well as the button controls.

[EddieNX]

Exactly! Considering you can use buttons, it just looks like a really deep fighting game with tons of customization, count me in! I can't see it scoring lower than 8-9 across the board

[jaymacx]

Remember punchout Wii? That had several was to play. I only wish star fox zero had those options.. looking forward to ARMS

[wonderfulmonkeyman]

It's new and unique, and it looks like it's got some decent strategy elements mixed into it by letting us choose which weapon we use per hand.
I can see this getting a nice competitive scene going.

[RosweeSon]

Looking forward to this wanna see and read a bit more into it tho. Defo one to watch
I'm sure the infos out there for me to investigate it's just not a day one for me currently but sure I'll look into it sooner rather than later

[InTheZoneAC]

Will it also be on the Wii u?

[deafdani]

No.

[BadElf]

Ehhh?

[SR388]

ARMS looks fuckin awesome :)
