That is really lame. What if I want my games to have better graphics than what the Switch is capable of. Is it still "strictly better?"

This is such a boring and dumb argument that it's draining me. And I mean both your and my counter argument.

If playing Witcher 3 in 4k would be possible in comfortable portable form it would be strictly better, yes.

Imagine, if you will, a video game entertainment system that connects to your tv and plays some video games. But wait, your friends are calling you out to a nice non-alcoholic rooftop party! Imagine, if you will, if you could pick up the console and continue gaming while you walk next door and set up the console and knock your craft sarsaparillas together and have fun with your friends playing some nice video games

Just imagine if that was possible...

Why do people think this is going to happen? The Wii U never got a revision. The Gamecube never got a revision. The Wii only got a revision at the end of it's lifecycle, and it was bad. Nintendo doesn't do revisions for their home consoles

But this is their potable console too, and those always get revisions? So which will it be????

Things could be going better

At this point I'm happier with Nintendo making games that are fun and smooth, if cartoony, because that is what they are good at. Leave the games that render every hair follicle to the other consoles, because nine times out of ten those hyper-detailed games suffer from garbage gameplay.

Also playing the game online tethered over 4G works great. I feel bad for those with capped data contracts though

Try it in handheld mode and compare the movement speed. It's pretty slow, I guess intentionally as the game is more about attack/block/throw trinity rather than movement. Someone ITT I think compared ARMS to Punch-Out and I think that is apt.

Nintendo games tend to be more downgraded graphics while other consoles tend to go for higher fidelity, and every time Nintendo tries to Port it looks like poo poo. A historical analysis.

:same:

Arms is a ton of fun. Only played in handheld mode without motion controls, but I liked it a lot. The 2v2 mode is too hectic, though - it really shines in 1v1, where things are a more strategic. That said, I only played it for like 40 minutes, so 2v2 might feel better with more play time. :shrug:

Yeah, I want it but that price is insane. I'll pick it up when it's $20 or below.

Arms is pretty fun still and I'd love to play it in a goon lobby.

I figured the ability to go to HD or standard graphics would be a good selling point.

Also the online play.

And yeah I will aggree with people that 40 bucks is a bit too heavy, I'd pay 30 I guess.

Nothing wrong with it just overpriced. The DigitalFoundry review said it wasn't a zero effort port or anything, they rebalanced, made it closer to the real SFII Turbo, have some good additions and whatnot, fixed some things from the old version, it just should be $15.

A mediocre at worst game that came off as totally tone deaf to fans that for some reason didn't want a multiplayer spinoff to a single-player series after the last real title cratered so hard it knocked the planet out of orbit.

Bonus points for the prime branding too.

It had basically the worst sales imaginable as well, I still don't fully know what Nintendo was thinking there.

"Other M still has an impact on Metroid, which was never a top-selling IP. Next Level did us pretty good with that Luigi's Mansion sequel, surely another arcade-y take on a gamecube era title will provide ground swell for a full proper console Metroid."

If Federation Force came out during the DS era it would have attracted .01% of the hatred it did and probably would have done similar business to Hunters.

Other M hosed the series so hard that only a Retro helmed Prime 4 could save it at this point.
