Hey guys, popping in after the weekend test to ask: Was ARMS any good?

It was very fun, other than being forced into the gimmick game mode when I didn't even know how to play.

Just beat Greedier Mode with The Poop, arguably the 2nd worst character to do it with.

Only took 40+ resets to get a seed that worked for it :suicide:

I am going to hate myself when it comes time to do it with The Lost

It was really fun! I don't think I'll pick it up full price, but it is nice and unique. And fast to get through a match. Party mode is really quite cool, and I think it will a hit with a room full of friends.

At no point should "I had trouble with one control scheme" come off, to literally anyone, as "I didn't get it".

I liked ARMS. Unfortunately, I have no videogame playing friends nearby and this is really only a game I'd wanna play with people locally so I'll probably wait until I find it cheaper in a few years.

General consensus seems to be "Good, but probably not $60 good." Motion controls are surprisingly good but not flawless. It feels like the non-1v1 modes aren't that stellar, but that's gonna be the meat of the game anyway.

Honestly you really should try before you buy to see if it'd work for you. Fortunately they're doing another Test Punch this weekend.

Nintendo is adding Skillshot and Hoops to the Arms' roster of mini-games - a basketball-type mode where you have to get the ball into a net, and a punch the targets mode.

I kinda just want a 1v1 mode but I guess that's what ranked mode will be in final release.

Hmmm I was hoping they'd pretty much just use existing characters like Hyrule Warriors did, rather than adding Avatar characters like DQH. Not a big deal really since you can just switch characters anyway. :v:

Is true so maybe we'll be lucky.

But Setsuna was a game so sad even the developers apologised for it in the 'talk to the developers' ending. Which it had to have because Chrono Trigger did.

Ninjara seemed really popular for the vanish. Still though, surprised Ribbon Girl isn't the most popular.
