Full review of the new Nintendo exclusive game for Switch, "ARMS".

"A brilliant mix of Smash Bros., Powerstone and Punch-Out!!, ARMS is an immediately gripping experience that takes no time falling in love with. Whilst those are some lofty comparisons, ARMS deserves every one of them, and for my money has already secured itself as a wonderful Nintendo IP that deserves iteration. I was thrilled, then, to hear that Nintendo would be supporting ARMS with new fighters, stages and modes for free in the coming months. This is a great commitment, because like any other full-priced fighter aside from the ludicrously generous Smash Bros., ARMS struggles to validate the price tag."
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 have this game and for the life of me can't see what even makes it good. It's not that great imo. Wasted my money.
Just seems so cheap
Btw i like Power stone, SSB and OG punch out and SNES punch out.
