Looks like Switch is gonna be the best selling console again next month I see

I think il be putting my arms into my pockets for this one. It oozes Nintendo charm. I give it a 9 before its even out 😆

[Erik7357]

Wont be surprised if this gets high ratings and same for spatoon 2. Splatoon 2 looks really interesting with its art style.

Then we have e3, im expecting a HD version of sun/moon for Switch, Metroid reveal, and Beyond good and Evil 2 reveal.

[EddieNX]

They both look great, the kind of games no one else can make except Nintendo. And that would be the best e3 ever with Mario, Xenoblade 2 etc...

[Tripl3seis]

I guess I'm gonna have to get a switch before the fall hits fucking Nintendo good job now announce a metroid game and please lol.

All game companies developing fighters now take note! Arms have free content after launch. Yes more fighters over the 10 fighter roster! More stages! More Arm items all for free! I am talking to you Capcom with the disaster that is Street Fighter 5, and most likely Marvel VS Capcom Infinite! I am talking to you Netherrealms that gave us a great, but overprice Injustice 2 Ultimate Edition! It is embarrassing that you have to pay for 9 characters, including Darkseid if you didn't preorder the game. Sure you get a comic book, but you pay $5 dollars per character. Man what a joke!

[OtakuDJK1NG-Rory]

Yes.
Developers need to either provide free updates with characters if the roster for their game is small or offer over 30 characters. 50 if possible. Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS only charge because it had 52 character from the start.

To be fair, there's a big difference between a game franchise that's had more than a decade to build up their character roster, and a brand new fighting game IP. In the former, game balance and character movesets are less of an issue than in the latter.

This is why new fighting games tend to have few characters compared to new entries in long running fighting games.

The first Smash Bros back in the N46 days only had 12 characters, for example... Arms right now has 10, and that one has more varied movesets per character because of the arm-swapping mechanic, which provides a lot of possible combinations.

In my opinion, 10 characters is quite alright for the first entry on a fighting game, especially considering they're promising to give us some more characters as free DLC. Can't really complain here.

if this game come and take over, putting other fighters sales to shame they deserve it..........tell them keep their games on ps4 and xbox one and enjoy taking a loss on their fighting game..........its just like i wrote in another topic.......with ps4 xbox one Switch generation.....fighting games seems to take a dip in sales......when street fighter 4 came out everyone and their mother wanted to play i had two copies for ps3......regular and arcade edition........

look at smash bros on Wii U out sold street fighter 5 on a system with a lot more customers to sell to........if this damage street fighter brand.......capcom only one to blame to make it an exclusive for ps4......the sony fans got what they wanted an exclusive and barely support it.........

hope arms be the best fighter this holiday, but if nintendo bring Smash deluxe it will take away from arms sales since its a new IP........smash on Wii U was already perfect i wonder what they could add

[TekoIie]

Yeh, we're moving into an era where developers want to keep players... well... playing their games (I mean like longer than the first week/month).

I've noticed that while a lot of devs have been bringing free content to multiplayer shooters and Dota-like games, fighters have been the exception. It's just something where we're waiting for the developers/publishers to get with the program in this particular genre.

There's nothing wrong with having paid DLC but standards are changing and hopefully, it's towards a system that's consumer friendly.

Twintelle is extra thicc

[gangsta_red]

Maaaan, i thought i was going to be the only one to comment on that.

[shockwave4life]

Everybody on here is crazy!!! This game looks TERRIBLE!!! This game is gonna get old after 30 mins! This is the big system selling game u idiots are taking a about??? Only 12 yr olds and 30 yr old basement dwelling d&d hardcore nerds would think this game looks good!

[Ashunderfire86]

A troll that will eat his words when the numbers speaks for itself.

[TekoIie]

real mature of you.

[EddieNX]

You probably said the same about Splatoon, youre clearly the bassment dweller here having taken time to come and make your sad comment. The game looks polished, deep and fun.

[Dumpling]
