>literally forgotten What went wrong?

It was boring as fuck dog shit that people only bought since it was the first switch exclusive that looked decent.

This.
The Switch had nothing but ports and people bought Arms because they couldn't wait for Splatoon 2

>>389554542
I never knew it'd even came out until a couple weeks ago

>>389554747
>menu
>motion controls
>off

Wow that was hard

>>389555241
If you don't use motion controls you're at a huge disadvantage.

>>389554747
You don't actually have to use motion controls

>>389554542
Motion controlled party game

What do you think

>literally forgotten

this is what made babbies honestly believe

>>389554542
It was pretty dumb to release this so close to Splatoon 2. They should have been released a year apart.

>Bad marketing
>HORRIBLE branding
I bet this was the last game that was branded and marketed by the Wii-U team. "Arms" is a terrible horrible no good very bad title.
Should have been called "Punchout Ultra" or like "Punchout: Springloaded" or something. "Arms" is a completely retarded title. Came from the same people who thought pic related was a brilliant idea.

Thats all.
Its a fantastic casual fighter.

>>389555561
That + the aliens would have been more interesting than BotW though.

>>389555561
This isn't a Puch Out game though

Why does ninty use bright as fuck overly vivid color schemes for everything? What are they trying to distract from?

>>389555703
>why does a cartoony game use cartoony visuals
Really activates the almonds

>>389555696
Could have been. Its less different from Punch Out than BOTW was from traditional Zelda. It actually has a lot in common with Punch Out.

>>389555703
My hardened dick

>>389555751
But it isn't. You may as well say Fire Emblem is Advance Wars in that case

>>389555751
nah

>/v/ is STILL trying to say that ARMS failed
So when are you guys gonna eat those crows?

>>389554542

It's just not very interesting to play. Fighters are superficially different. Anti-airs don't exist.

>>389555736
Why are they ALL cartoony?

>Gimmicky Nintendo shit that doesn't really do anything interesting
>WHAT WENT WRONG

It's gimmicky nintendo shit that doesn't really do anything interesting. I still don't know how Splatoon is even really a thing.

>>389555878
Why not?

>>389555875
>superficially different
>anti-airs don't exist
What the fuck am I reading

>>389555910
Well ARMs is a thing. It's even in evo japan

>>389554542

Literally playing it right now. Stop falseflagging.

>>389555910
I feel ya, it's just gimmicky nintendo shit that doesn't do anything interesting after all

>>389555164
Which is also a port.

>>389556452
>a sequel is a port
wat

>>389556586
>if I port the a game,. but then add 2 as a suffix, it's a brand new game!

>>389556697
>different story
>all new weapons
>all new characters
>all new gameplay mechanics
Surely my little anon can't be this retarded.

Splatoon came out and people realized that Arms was a content-dry game as shallow as a puddle.

>>389556761
>a game with no story
>a game with no new weapons that matter, tri-slosher existed in the first game.
>what characters
>all new dodge the tri-slosher mechanics

>>389556901
>getting nerfed in approximately 9 hours

>>389555751
no it fucking doesn't you goddamn casual.
Punch-out is puzzle game with a sports theme

ARMs is a multiplayer 3d fighter

>>389556901
>i-it doesn't exist because I choose to ignore it!

>>389554542
They cant all be hits

>>389557094
I didn't say it didn't exist.
I said it's port with a new number slapped on it.
It's Malibu Stacy with a NEW HAT.

I bought the new hat on day 1, I enjoy the new hat greatly (except the shit tri-slosher)
But to deny that it's a port simply so you can sleep better about paying another $60 for a content patch is moronic.

>>389557028
About. Fucking. Time.

>>389557371
>port with new features, mechanics, maps, weapons, and design philosophy

Is it actually dead or is just nobody talking about it?

Nobody talks about Pokken either but it's still got an active online and competitive scene. Granted, Pokken also has way more complexity in terms of it's gameplay systems and mechanics then ARMS does.

>>389557453
We get it, you're in denial.

>>389557632
What makes a good multiplayer shooter sequel?

>What went wrong?
Nintendo.

>>389554542
its fun...for about 20 minutes, then you stop playing and get something else

>All these people shitposting pretending they played the game

It was a success you fucks, we just had a thread yesterday

>HURR DURR NOTHING TO PLAY

You say that for every game

Seriously fuck off

>>389557728
~6 years.

>>389557948
So people should be forced to play the Wii U for another 4 years?
I guess Quake 3 sucks, too.

>>389557875
no need to be mad because your game was a time waster until a good game came out like splatoon

ARMS and Lethal League are both great games with a lot of deoth despite having few actual individual moves. But /v/ only shitposts aboit ARMS because Nintendo made it.

>>389558867
No reason to talk about Lethal League when it came out so long ago and was forgotten about.

>>389557613
/v/ has daily threads about it and it has never been dead. It is 100% anti Ninty shitposting.

>>389558921
It is getting a sequel or new version of some kind. Lethal League Blaze has just been teased recently. I am pretty excites for it and the ARMS 3.0 update.

>>389554542
Played the testpunch demo for about half hour and it got infuriating very fast. It's not a good casual game for starters - the game punishes you for playing offensively and there are no power ups like in Mario Kart that would help the less skilled/younger players. You often feel like you have no control over the outcome of a match since your every attack ends with a massive recovery lag, so if you whiff your punches (which happens about 3/4 of the time) your opponent is free to do whatever the fuck he wants. Grabs are especially frustrating for being surprisingly hard to dodge.

I deleted the demo with a feeling that a simple boxing game with goofy characters and MK-style power ups would've ended up much better than the complete mess with no real audience ARMS turned out to be.

>>389558867
>>389558927
>people dont like ARMS because they are against nintendo
Can you have a coherent thought without thinking it's a "us vs them" situation?

>>389559415
No because that's exactly what it is. Arms is an easy target of "it's dead jim" posts because it's made by a big company and it's a game with a less vocal scene compared to other fighting games. If it were any other big company like Sony, it would get the same shitposts.

>>389560059
>but sony!
Was waiting for this

>>389560120
I don't think you even read the post you're replying to

>>389560203
i didnt lol

>>389559039
>the game punishes you for playing offensively
Nope, but that is a common casual claim around here. The top players are heavily offensive.

>>389560120
See this is what I'm talking about. You faggots don't even bother reading, you just use ctrl+f to find buzzwords and big company names just to dismiss them instantly.

>>389554542
>waggle
>77

i have had enough waggle for this life time after the wii

so no thanks

>>389559415
There were "online is dead already what happened bros" type threads already in the week of its release even though the online is active even now. It's obvious shitposting.

>>389559039
>game told to be a fairly serious fighter with focus on competitive play
>idiot expected just a brainless party game
>blames the game for not being what it was never meant to be
Are you that guy who can't play Cuphead? You are, aren't you?

>>389555561
>thought pic related was a good idea
>until they rejected it

The Switch is a fucking disaster and there is no point to arguing otherwise.

>>389560475
>literally can't make them fast enough to keep up with demand
>disaster
I wonder how many unsold switches drowned in the hurricanes

>>389560475
Yup, total disaster, almost as bad as the PS2 disaster, no one bought that console either, it also had no games!!!!

>>389555360
The #1 ranked player is literally playing with pro controller only

>>389560353
Then play without motion controls

>>389560475
>>389560615

>literally one good game
>idiots won't stop buying it

please explain

>>389555751
Kill yourself normie. Punch Out!! Is goat and arms is boring trash

>>389560920
>BotW
>ARMS
>Splatoon 2
>Mario + Rabbids
>MK8DX (enhanced port, feel free to not count it)
Not to mention a bunch of multiplats, but those are mutliplats.

>>389555751
The two are absolutely nothing alike.

>>389560920
its on xbone pace

so pretty fast for a nintendo console especially compare to Wii U but way behind market leaders

>>389554542
game thats fun to play with your friends in the same room but not fun on your own against strangers

>>389554542
Alienated their fanbase by putting actual clowns in the game

>>389560248
Which is a problem, you can ask the playerbase of an entry level fighter to play as top players, the game punishes offence unless you are really good, goof fg's are otherwise, cause that allows casuals being more free in their decisions while in pro play beng aggresive is a reward of intelligent play, otherwise you make low level players feel like winning is imposible or really boring, so they never bother on getting better

>>389565009
No, at a casual level nothing fucking matters in good fighters, and good defense is the best thing you can have because it means no matter how crazy anyone goes with offense you can counter it with simple blocking and punishing. ARMS is no different. Try actually playing fighting games at a respectable level before shooting your mouth off.

we have multiple arms threads every day

cultural phenomenon it's not, but is it really "forgotten"?

>>389565009
>the game punishes offense unless you're good
Like literally every fucking fighting game? Mashing buttons will get you blown up if you don't know what the fuck you're doing 100% of the time against even the shittiest player who's trying.
