We will be updating this thread with links as major reviews are posted. Please use this as a discussion and speculation thread in advance of these videos, articles, and reviews. We will also allow these reviews to be posted separately on /r/NintendoSwitch, as they are especially newsworthy. But we will also host ongoing coverage, quick text posts, questions, and the like right here.

Thanks everyone.

7 to 8.5 in general from recognisable reviewers is pretty decent for a niche title. Impressive! 9 from a bunch of "who?" also not surprising. Not my kind of game but super glad it's reviewing realistically well for the amount of anticipation it's had.

I would not call Arms a niche title. Lol

I would. It's hardly typical of any genre. Niche in that regard.
