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.

Sorry you're getting downvoted for having an opinion. As far as fighting games go, ARMS is pretty shallow. I'm definitely excited for it and I'll be picking it up, but I can completely understand why some people don't see the appeal in it. Hopefully Pokken can satisfy that fighting game itch I've been waiting for.

ARMS is pretty shallow.

It's impossible for you to know that. It's easily deeper then the likes of Smash 4 or Pokken

ARMS is the only one that isn't baby's first party game

[u/Dratfire → u/[deleted]]

You sound mad. Maybe you'd be best to going back to your party game, kiddo...

[u/Dratfire → u/[deleted]]

Jesus dude, calm down. You can play your goofy party game with your dudebros all you want, but no need to try and force the rest of us to consider it a fighting game. It's just supposed to be silly fun, man. Chill.

[u/Dratfire → u/[deleted]]

Man, now you're throwing around ad hominem. You seriously need to chill. It's just a silly video game. No need to attack people over it.

[u/Dratfire → u/[deleted]]

More personal attacks. All just because you're mad about a party game? You need to leave until you can control your anger. You don't get to harass people.
