i dont like my options here. it wont be a huge success, or a fail, but somewhere in the middle around a 7/10. but it will not be the next Splatoon for several reasons.
1. Splatoon focused on gameplay first and the controls seamlessly blended into the game. ARMS worked the other way around and built a game based on controls before focusing on gameplay.
2. Splatoon was a multiplayer shooter that offered a refreshing spin on the genre at a time when FPS games were losing their touch. it wasnt overly violent, realistic, or futuristic, but had a lot of appreciated thought put into it. ARMS was specifically designed to show off the new motion control capabilities of the Switch and fighting games have had a lot of decent ground over the years. Smash Bros, Pokken, various indie titles, etc.
3. Splatoon became a community where each player's style was unique to them. different weapons, gear, and upgrades were added to git each person's taste. the only characters who were formally named were Callie, Marie, and Captain Cuttlefish, none of which were even playable. ARMS on the other hand seems determined to make all its characters staple Nintendo mascots. meaning they dont change much if at all. you just select your character and fight.
