OP fails to mention that it outsold both games in Japan.

Also, OP fails to mention it's EVO Japan 2018.

Also ARMS did sell the best for fighting games in 7 years if you don't included licensed properties like Gundam VS or games with established franchises like Smash.

It is a pretty big success in Japan at least, and seemingly doing well overseas as well as it's still managed to maintain top 3 on the eShop in many other regions including EU and NA.

Also, it's on track to sell 200k this week which is pretty great for a new fighting game IP.

Bullshit faggot post proof

It's a game for children and manchildren. They're a lucrative market. Nintendo simply does not cater to adults anymore.

>>384277512
Not OP, but see >>384277481

It fucking flopped everywhere else and online is dead.

>>384277880

Where is your proof?

I can find full lobbies in party mode just fine and get a ranked match within seconds of starting the queue.

It's also got global servers so you can play with Burgers, Europoors and Elevens.

Then why are they using young college adults in all their Switch advertisements?

Clearly that's the demographic they're targeting with Switch.

I think I may have only seen like 2 kids in all of their Switch adverts shown so far this year.

It's likely just the same kind of shitposter all over again. Perhaps even the exact same shitposter.

Like this guy who kept claiming that the online was dead, when you were literally matched with people within seconds. Who was then caught lying when he tried to prove that he had the game.

>>384279192

A PS4 emulating PS3 games isn't feasible

ARMS is like the only actual new game for Switch so of course every single Switch owner is gonna buy it while Tekken and SFV has to compete with hundreds of games on their respective platforms.

By being several thousands of multiples more powerful. PS4 is not powerful enough to emulate different hardware the power of ps3

>>384277360
>if you don't count licensed stuff
May as well remove any games with names as well. MKX sold just under 7 million copies, Injustice 2 is already over 4 million. Arms won't sell half those numbers. This is just more Nintendo fags fugging numbers to try and make it look like Arms is some break out smash hit. It has sold okay, Not great. Also SFV bombed by Capcom sales figures and still sold close to 2 million copies.

>>384282186
It's one of the games in Evo Japan, and Melee is not. Which makes sense since Japan doesn't play Melee anymore.

You'll have to wait until Jan/Feb for the next set of real Evo games.

It was weird how the audience screamed louder for ARMS at Evo than all other announcements.

Maybe people are tired of the same games being player every year so a new one has them slightly more interested?

>June added arena mode or whatever

Have they announced what's being added in August?

So you're running your excuses back to "hurr it's bad because I can't accept the game being completely about fundamentals".

Meanwhile the game has already had 2 major tournament outings and has locked in a 3rd one at Evo Japan.

Just accept it, it's not like other fighting games are hurting because of its existence.

>>384276043
Just got my Switch and ARMS an hour ago.
How do I get good as Min Min? I'm not used to a fighting game where I can pick two different fists and can't tell what ones I should be using, or if I should be aiming to compliment her strengths or make up for her weaknesses.

It just looks like a really, really slow arena fighter to me
what's the appeal? Asking honestly here, I'm only going off the trailers I've seen for it

>>384292910
dodge side to side a shit load, mix up the pattern or the enemy will figure you out, min min seems like shes more for fast small punches, her kick really isnt that useful due to lag

>>384292643
>hurr it's bad because I can't accept the game being completely about fundamentals

so you're running your arguments back to (lazy) strawmen, completely ignoring that the game is fundamentally slow and defensive options are overpowered

>>384292928
There's strategy in how you approach, time your punches, rush cancel (acitvate your super and fake out into other things like dodging, punching or blocking), punching into rush, using different arena's behaviors as tools, different character-based abilities, etc.

It's got a surprising amount of depth beyond the shallowness people seem to gravitate toward appropriating it as.

>>384292435
same can be said for most AAA games out there.

Atleast there are some devs out there that genuinely care for their game unlike EA or Crapcom.

It's going to get a watered down version of Splatoon's post-release support model.

>>384296521
Trouble with ARMS is individual characters don't do enough to change the game up. In the end, you're still just throwing extendo-punches all day.

I'd prefer they added more interesting modes and content than Characters.

>Face it, kid. ARMS is a really good game.

If you've got shit taste and no better games to play. You're going to dismiss me outright for saying this but: It's just glorified Wii Boxing and there's nothing that can change that. It looks boring to play, it actually IS boring to play and it's only sold well because of the timing of it's release. Once Splatoon 2 and Pokken DX release, ARMS is going to find itself in a rough spot when it comes to online multiplayer playerbases.

>>384298171
Hedlok Scramble, arena mode

>>384297663

Its their fault if you ask me. Metal Gear is still selling like hotcakes same as a lot of Nintendo games. You can keep a formula and make some other changes to keep things interesting but they rarely even try.

Granted fighting games a re a bit harder to innovate but there have been some solid improvements in other franchises like Guilty Gear or even KOF so i dont know why SF or Tekken having the popularity it has, cant keep up.

Does someone has actual data of how much ARMS has sold in America so far?

>>384292419
4 people, not including you, 3 of them just responding to the first guy who mentioned it.

Your point?

>>384298898
We should be hearing about it this week for NPD I believe.

Do the characters have actual arms, or did they cut them off and sew springs to their torsos? This has been bothering me ever since I first saw pics of this game.

It's not its own category.

If you include Smash that basically makes every other fightan game irrelevant since it's such a niche genre.

The only ones that really thrive are SF and Tekken due to legacy while the rest of the other fighting games like GG, BB, KoF are niche even in Japan.

It sold less than 20k in the UK in its first 2.5 weeks. It's currently being outsold by MK8D and BotW.
